Title:
25 Years after: Past and Future of Some Common Places in Archaeology [EAA]
Content:
In September 2019, it will be 25 years since the First Annual Meeting in Santiago de Compostela. This is a good reason to come back to the topics that were discussed in that occasion and revise the development, present situation and future perspectives of them. The first idea is to invite all the Santiago 95 session organizers-chairpersons-discussants, to revisit the topic they were chairing 25 years ago revising what was the state of the art in 1995, how it evolved and what is its expectable future. The main themes are that stage were the same main topics that EAA Annual Meeting have kept for many years since then: Interpreting the Archaeological Record; Managing the Archaeological Heritage; and Politics of Archaeological Practice. Under these themes, there were sessions, for instance, on archaeology of power, spatial regularities in archaeology, development of old metallurgy, emergence of social complexity, organization of commercial archaeology, urban archaeology, archaeology conservation and the changing of rural landscapes, pilgrimage, public works, commercial use of the past, rescue archaeology and the production of knowledge, identification of Ethnicity, Europe(an Archaeology) as seen by a non-European (Archaeologists), Historical Archaeology, or the contribution of Islam to the construction of Europe. The organizers of this session are those who were the president of the EAA at that stage and the organizer of the Annual Meeting.
