Can archaeologists help solve the 'Wicked Problems' that the world faces, such as climate change, conflict resolution, and social injustice? This book suggests that they can, but that it requires them to think about archaeology in an entirely new way.
John Schofield is a wide-ranging and innovative book that encourages readers to think about archaeology in an entirely new way, as fresh, relevant, and future-oriented. It examines some of the novel ways that archaeology (alongside cultural heritage practice) can contribute to resolving some of the world's most wicked problems, or global challenges as they are sometimes known.
