ARCHAEOLOGY MATTERS: The Relevance of Archaeology in the Modern World
Archaeology is not just about the past but also is quite relevant to the world today. Archaeology’s long time perspective can provide fresh insights into issues such as sustainability, resilience, and adaptation to changing ecological and cultural conditions. While archaeology clearly cannot solve the huge problems facing peoples around the globe, this lecture shows how it can shed some useful light on these problems.
