About

The Histories of Archaeology Research Network, HARN, was founded in 2008 by Pamela Jane Smith and its present admin group consists of Alicia Colson, Monica Barnes, Mustafa Kemal and Jonathan Trigg, with Pamela Jane Smith as Honorary President. HARN is an interdisciplinary e-mail network which provides an overarching, cross-institutional structure to promote communication and to support shared ideas and innovative new work.

Members attempt to untangle the histories and philosophies of archaeology and reconstruct the lesser-known social, political and intellectual aspects of archaeology’s history. HARN participants are investigating previously unexamined archival and primary sources and gathering original oral-historical evidence. They produce innovative, fine-grained descriptions and in-depth historical analyses based on entirely fresh material.

HARN now consists of 350 members from across the world. New members and all queries are welcomed. For more information please contact HARN at historiesofarchaeology@gmail.com
