Title:
Yesterday’s Yarns and Tomorrow’s Tales? The Relevance of Research Frameworks for a Sustainable Archaeology
Content:
The creation, development and use of Research Frameworks and Agendas can be key in weaving the narratives of past, present and future archaeological research. Research Frameworks and Agendas are no longer considered to be static and there is a need to continually update and evaluate them. While many research agendas are now online and widely available to all users, the question of how they can be managed, linked together, used more widely, and be updated in a sustainable manner is becoming more prevalent. Five years since the Session on developing a European Network of Linked Research Agendas at the 2018 EAA in Barcelona, this session will invite papers from across Europe to share how they have approached the ongoing development of national, regional and thematic frameworks. How are research frameworks being established? Once established, how are research frameworks and agendas better used and incorporated into archaeological practice? Do research frameworks only relate to the work of professional archaeologists, or are they being used by the wider public? How is the public involved in the creation of research frameworks and what are the benefits? How are research frameworks used to communicate archaeology to a wider audience? How might the processes to create, share and update frameworks become more sustainable?
