Description
Wicked Problems for Archaeologists: A New Perspective on Heritage as Transformative Practice explores the complex challenges facing our world and how archaeology can contribute to resolving them. This innovative book examines the ways in which studying the past through an archaeological lens can help address pressing issues such as climate change, environmental pollution, social injustice, and conflict. Through diverse examples and a creative approach, the author shows how archaeologists can achieve significant 'small wins' that collectively make a positive impact on the world. By applying fresh perspectives to heritage practice, readers will gain insights into the potential of archaeology to drive meaningful change. This book offers a new way of thinking about archaeology's role in addressing global challenges and presents a compelling case for its transformative power.
