Some personal reflections on archaeology, 25 years after the first meeting of the European Association of Archaeologists in This is a talk I gave at the online meetings of the European Association of Archaeologists in August It was part of a session convened by Felipe Criado-Boado and Kristian Kristiansen, who had been organizers of the meetings in Santiago de Compostela in They asked contributors to reflect upon 25 years of change in European Archaeology.
I have been immensely influenced by the extraordinary leadership and vision of Felipe and Kristian, by the welcoming humanism of so many members of the EAA. My talk explores how we might conceive an archaeology that is centered upon community, collegiality, dialogue, in working with what remains of the past to build a better future. Prague has always been a cultural and multilingual crossroads of Central Europe.
The atmospheric streets of Prague hide amazing subterranean relics of the medieval city which are very attractive to visitors to explore. The Czech Capital is the city of St. Prague is once again becoming such a crossroads as a forum for discussion for anyone who is concerned with the study of archaeology and world heritage. WAC is open to archaeologists of all countries, encouraging the development of regionally-based histories and maintaining the international academic discourse within the worldwide community.
