An Archaeology for the Future
Sunday, May 31st, 2020Archaeology is the study of the past in the present. But can it deal with the future too?
- Which future(s) are archaeologists working for?
- Which archaeological heritage will benefit future generations most?
- How can archaeologists build capacity in futures thinking?
