Description
Cosmopolitan Archaeologies explores the complex international environment of contemporary archaeology. This collection delves into the politics of archaeological practice, examining how cosmopolitan ideals shape research agendas and demands a rethinking of responsibility for project repercussions. The contributors discuss various forms of cosmopolitan engagement with sites spanning the globe, highlighting links between conservation, natural heritage, and ecology movements. They also consider the impact of archaeological fieldwork on local communities near heritage sites and the complex interactions between these communities and international sponsors, universities, conservation agencies, development organizations, and NGOs. By examining these connections, Cosmopolitan Archaeologies sheds light on how archaeologists can undertake heritage practices attentive to the concerns of living communities.
