The last several meetings of the European Association of Archaeologists
have seen remarkable growth of interest in going beyond traditional
disciplinary boundaries and relationships between archaeology,
historiography, and the humanities. The presently proposed session for the
Thematic Block, Archaeology and the Modern World, seeks to provide a
context for researchers from different countries, and who work in a variety
of different institutional contexts to discuss:
a) the diversity of recent perspectives on 'historical archaeology', and
b) their relevance to changes that are taking place in relationships
between intellectual culture and contemporary human affairs
