About the Book

This book explores archaeology as a modern project. Contemporary archaeology marries archaeology in the modern world with the archaeology of the modern world. With case studies from Sweden, the UK, Ireland, and the USA, this volume explores archaeology as cultural production. We use the material traces of past events - from yesterday to 200 years ago - to produce our own material contributions to the ever changing story of now.

Table of Contents:
Part 1: On the Character of Archaeology/heritage; Freuds Archaeological Metaphor and Archaeologys self-understanding; Revealing the Mysteries of a Lost Treasure: Archaeology as a Theme in Popular Culture; The Tiger Fierce took Life Away; Part 2: Recording and preserving 20th century heritage? Piles of Pony Poop and why George Marston Dressed as a Woman; Archaeologists, activists and a contemporary peace camp; Spadeadam; Part 3: New Dimensions of materiality; The Value of Junk; Into the Space of the Past: A Family Archaeology; Sounding a city: Towards an Aural Archaeology of Contemporary Urbanism; Part 4: Into the Future; Guttersnipe: A Micro Road Movie; The Privatisation of Experience and the Archaeology of the Future.
