University of Seville, Spain
Rafael Abad is Adjunct Professor at the Department of Integrated Philologies (East Asian Studies) at the University of Seville (Spain). He holds a PhD (2009) in the field of History and Area Studies from Hokkaido University (Japan). His doctoral research on The Idea of Prehistory in the Modern Archaeological Thought concentrates upon the introduction, acceptance and rejection of western archaeological concepts (‘Prehistory’, ‘Stone Age’, etc.) by Japanese scholars in the period between 1870 and 1920. His research currently focuses on Torii Ryuzo, an anthropologist and archaeologist whose fieldwork is well known as a reflection of the relationship between Japanese science and imperialism during the first half of the twentieth century, but that in addition played a key role in the introduction of archaeological knowledge originated in East Asia in the West.

Aguilera Durán, Tomás
tomas.aguilera@uam.es
Autonomous University of Madrid
I have a degree in History (University of Salamanca) and an inter-university Master in History and Sciences of Antiquity (Complutense-Autonomous Universities of Madrid). My PhD analysed the historiographical and ideological perception of protohistoric Iberia in the Spanish cultural tradition. Thus, my main research interest is the reception of the pre-Roman world in Western culture, which involves the study of historiography and academy, national and regional identities and their literary and artistic projections. My various editorial and academic activities relating to this theme also include the co-direction of the Seminar on Historiography and the Legacy of Antiquity at the Autonomous University of Madrid.
Allfrey, Fran
I research the reception of Sutton Hoo, the Anglo-Saxon burial site unearthed in 1938 (with the most famous discovery made in 1939).
My PhD thesis examines newspaper coverage of the excavation in 1939, television documentary presentations of the treasures, stories told in museum display, the impact of the ‘Sutton Hoo Society’ and how stories were told about the site, treasures, and 1980s-1990s dig, performances at the National Trust site, and ethnographic research with visitors at the site.
In particular, I pay attention to times when Old English poetry or other early medieval literature is brought into contact with archaeological remains and sites.

I study the medieval (pre-colonial) fortifications of West Africa. My current research focuses on the region of eastern Senegal and western Mali where I am interested in the causes of the inplementation of these structures, the techniques of constructions used and the heritage aspects related to their conservation.
My previous work allowed me to explore the interactions between fortifications and the formation of state entities in western Cameroon between the 16th and 19th centuries.
Azarmdel, Hassan
Lanzhou University
I am a PhD student in the Lanzhou University. My Thesis will focus on climate change and Archaeology (Paleo-settlements) in Iran. This is a totally new area for and my master degree is in land use management in coastal areas (focus on sea level changes/Caspian sea). But now I wonder to widen my knowledge about past climate and how human has
changed the earth face. Especially in Iran plateau settlement is back to 10 ka and it seems human activities have changed paleo signals. I am following to find out. I would be really happy I could share and work with others especially who are following to visit ancient Persia and find out about its ancient history.

Banks, Kimball
Metcalf Archaeological Consultants
I have always had a general interest in the history of archaeology; that interest dates back to a class on the history of American archaeology I took in graduate school. J.O. Brew was a visiting professor and taught the class. Most of my career has been in the federal sector so much of my interest has focused on the legal history of archaeology and, more generally, historic preservation. Because I worked for the Bureau of Reclamation, I also developed an interest in the River Basin Surveys and have co-edited a monograph and a book on the subject. Currently, I am researching the history of the OPM and SOI Professional Qualifications Standards. Although both date back to the mid-80s I suspect that their genesis can be traced back to the River Basin Surveys, if not earlier. If anyone has any information or ideas, I would appreciate hearing from you.

Baker, Sera
serabaker@hotmail.com
Department of Archaeology, University of Nottingham
A Roman archaeologist specialising in socio-cultural and economic examinations of ancient Pompeii and the early Roman Empire, Sera Baker is especially passionate about the small shops, workshops and commercial spaces of ancient Pompeii and Rome. Her current archaeological research (to be completed in 2014) into these shops concentrates upon deciphering context in an effort to explain how these small archaeological structures and their contents reveal previously shrouded aspects of Roman daily life. These shops, through their archaeological remains, provide an understanding of population, society, culture, urban planning, trade, and commerce in the Roman world. Naturally, her work at Pompeii involves a great deal of study of the history and philosophy of the earliest archaeological excavations in the 18th century onwards to understand the context and interpretation of the standing remains and excavation reports.

Andean Past, American Museum of Natural History
I am the lead editor of Andean Past, a peer-reviewed, open access, green route journal
dedicated to the archaeology and ethnohistory of western South America published by
the Department of Anthropology, University of Maine. I am also an archaeology and
patrimony editor of Chungara Revista Chilena de Antropología, a peer-reviewed, open
access, green route journal published by the Universidad de Tarapaca. Chungara has a
regional focus, but, in addition, publishes articles on the archaeology, bioarchaeology,
anthropology, and history of other parts of South America. Both journals often include
articles on the history of Andean archaeology. I frequently consult for the SIARB Boletín
(Sociedad de Investigación del Arte Rupestre de Bolivia), a journal dedicated to South
American rock art. Within a community of archaeologists, I study issues of equity in our
field and have coauthored articles on the subject. I am an administrator of HARN, a
member of the board of directors of the Pre-Columbian Society of New York, and an
elected member of the Institute for Andean Research and of the Society of Woman
Geographers. I have participated in archaeological fieldwork in the United States, England, Ecuador,
Peru, Chile, Mexico, and Spain and archival work in the United States, England, Peru,
and Spain. Since the beginning of this century, my interests have shifted to the history
of archaeology. I am an Associate of the American Museum of Natural History in New
York City. There I am researching the life and work of the late John Victor Murra, an
anthropologist best known for his contributions to Andean ethnohistory, but also the
second-in-command of an archaeological project in Ecuador (1941–42) and the leader
of a project encompassing the first official excavations at the Peruvian Inca site of
Huánuco Pampa (1963–1966). With Peruvian archaeologist Luis Guillermo Lumbreras
he co-lead a survey in the Lake Titicaca region (1973), and, with Inca specialist E. Craig
Morris, materials science expert Heather Lechtman, and ethnohistorian María
Rostworowski, he was a co-principal investigator of the Chincha Project (1983–2005),
aimed at elucidating the later prehistory of an important valley on the Peruvian coast. At
the AMNH I have scanned, studied, and catalogued the approximately 5,000 negatives
Murra and his team took during his “Inca Provincial Life” project centered on Huánuco
Pampa and studied the notes taken by project members during archaeological survey in
the Huánuco region. Other important papers pertinent to John Murra, including over fifty
years of correspondence with many prominent anthropologists and archaeologists, are
held at the Smithsonian Institution’s Anthropological Archive and in scattered archives in
the United States, Peru, and Spain. I have published eleven articles on aspects of John
Murra’s life and work. All my publications are available open access on Academia.edu.
Basak, Bishnupriya
basak.bishnupriya@gmail.com
Calcutta University
I did my Ph.D (1998) in Prehistory from Deccan College and am currently Senior Faculty, Department of Archaeology, University of Calcutta, Kolkata, India. Archaeological theory and history of archaeology are my two areas of interest apart from prehistoric fieldwork. Through my ongoing research I am trying to understand the development of prehistoric archaeology, ethnology and geological sciences in India (esp. eastern India) in the last quarter of the nineteenth and early decades of the twentieth century. I am interested to understand the colonial mind in exposition of an alien past in the colony. None of these nascent disciplines engaged the attention of the Archaeological Survey of India, established in 1861, where the preoccupation was chiefly with the monumental. I am trying to see how far the pursuit of these disciplines in the metropolis exercised its sway on the perceptions of the officers/individuals researching on them in the colony. An important strand here is the collection history of objects described as ‘prehistoric’ or ‘ethnological.’ I have already published some papers in peer reviewed journals.
I am also interested in local history and the development of vernacular tradition in archaeology in pre-independent Bengal.
Bayer, Olaf

My doctoral research used surface lithic scatters from museum collections to examine the prehistoric inhabitation of the lower Exe valley, Devon. The majority of my research involved lithic analysis, geophysical survey and excavation. However, I also undertook archive research and interviews to understand the ideas and methodologies, which had shaped the assemblages that I was studying.
Berg, Ingrid
ingrid.berg@ark.su.se
Research School for Culture-Historical Studies (FoKult)
Department of Archaeology and Classical Studies, Stockholm University, Sweden
My thesis deals with the first Swedish archaeological excavation in Greece, on the island of Kalaureia in 1894. The philologists Samuel Wide, Lennart Kjellberg and the architect Sven Kristenson spent a summer on the island where they carried out fieldwork together with Greek workmen. I will document and analyse the excavation as a phenomenon, as well as analyse the archaeologists’ cultural and political context in order to study their relation to Greece, the Greeks and to archaeology. By studying how the material and mental memories that can be linked to the 1894 excavation affect the ongoing project on Kalaureia, I want to stress the importance of including historical interpretations in contemporary archaeological projects. I also want to encourage critical analysis of the scientific history of Swedish archaeology. The project demonstrates the possibilities of using a variety of source material – from archaeological field observations to photographs, letters, diaries, newspaper articles, interviews, etc. – as a basis for including historical voices in the concepts of archaeological ethnography and multivocality, and for analysing a vital part of the life history of the archaeological site.

I am a classical archaeologist and received my PhD in 2010 at Heidelberg University. I am currently working as assistant professor at Technical University Darmstadt. I wrote my PhD on sanctuaries in Roman colonies during the Republic and have since been very interested in Roman religion, architecture and urbanism. More recently I have also focused on Phoenician studies, especially on the Phoenician westward migration and on colonial encounters between Phoenicians and indigenous peoples. In this context I am also looking at how modern perceptions of ancient cultures and especially modern colonialism influenced the study of antiquity.
Bracewell, Jennifer

My interest in the history of archaeology focuses on the First Peoples of Canada, and especially Quebec. I am interested in the history of concepts of social evolution which have been used to frame our thinking and research on the prehistory of northern Quebec. I am also interested in how these concepts are applied today, both in Canada and in the circumpolar subarctic generally. I am interested in comparing the history of prehistoric archaeology in northern Quebec and Finland, where I have excavated for several years in Northern Ostrobothnia. Finally, I am interested in the history of community-based archaeology, especially in First Nations communities.

Briggs, Stephen
cstephenbriggs@yahoo.co.uk
Sometime Head of Archaeology at The Royal Commission on Ancient and Historical Monuments of Wales, Dr C. Stephen Briggs FSA, FGS, MCIfA, is a retired generalist field surveyor and researcher who was originally attracted to archives and neglected early printed sources for re-provenancing artefacts and reconstructing lost sites in the 1960s. His perspectives have since changed slowly to encompass some British-Irish and continental biographical, museum and institutional studies of science since the 17th century. He strongly advocates the preservation of contemporary records, particularly personal papers, including archival and digital media. Stephen has also campaigned for responsible ethical standards in archaeological research and publication. Current projects include helping Anne O’Connor and Pam Graves to complete Greenwell Studies: the archaeological contribution of Canon William Greenwell, FRS, FSA (1820-1918); also aspects of the development of archaeology in Yorkshire until 1913; the archaeology of the Ordnance Survey in Ireland c 1830-1845, and the journeys (1846-7 and 1852) and correspondents of J.J.A. Worsaae in Britain and Ireland.

Marcus received his PhD from Manchester, UK, and specialises in British and East African prehistory. His particular interests regarding histories of archaeology are varied, but are dominated by: (1) the impact of twentieth century conflict on archaeological thought, narrative and practice in Britain, and the changing role of the past in humanist approaches to post-conflict reconstruction, particularly in the aftermath of the First World War; (2) the sociopolitics of 19th century archaeology in Wales; and (3) the shifting politics of minority rights in archaeology.
Brockmann, Sophie
School of Advanced Study, University of London
My current project is on archaeologists and other field researchers in Central America, c.1880-1940. I’m interested in the relationship between archaeologists and local populations, the commercial and social networks that supported archaeologists, as well as mapping and other processes of exploring and recording landscapes in relation to archaeological excavation. I am also in the process of completing the manuscript of my first monograph, based on my dissertation and entitled “Visions of Useful Nature”. It concerns the history of natural history and landscape in late-colonial Guatemala (1768-1838) and features some chapters on the Maya site of Palenque, and the status of archaeological sites in Central America after independence from Spain in 1821.

Università di Roma “Tor Vergata”
I am a Ph.D student at the University of Rome ‘Tor Vergata’ and my doctoral research is the biography of Dr. Margarete Gütschow (1871-1951), ordinary member of the German Archaeological Institute. Dr Gütschow lived in Rome for more than 20 years, since 1935, was an assistant to G. Rodenwaldt and participated in the large project “Corpus der Antiken Sarkophagreliefs”; she also studied the classical sarcophagi of the Pretextat Catacombs; this was her main work. By studying the documents of several archives, I am investigating the life and studies, focusing on funeral sculpture.
I also have broad interests in antiquarianism and the history of collecting and collections. My MA thesis was about the collection Salviati in Lungara: composition and dispersion (published in Archeologia Classica, vol. LVIII-n.s. 8, 2007).
I have specialised in Late Antique Archeology at the Pontifical Institute for Christian Archaeology and won a Grant Research PRIN (Research Projects of National Interest) at the University of Rome, “Roma Tre” to study the changes in archaeological restoration in Rome since the Unification of Italy to the second half of the 20th century.

My PhD thesis is entitled ‘Everyday life’ and ‘everyday things’ in British popular culture, c.1910-1969’. It examines how people published, preserved, and sometimes sought to re-make, the ‘everyday’ past in British popular culture. I am focusing on the life and work of Charles and Marjorie Quennell, in particular their series A history of everyday things in England (1918-1934), and its reception. I am also working on the presentation of the ‘everyday’ in museums, the publishing of vernacular history and historical diaries by commercial presses, and the broadcasting of popular history on the BBC throughout the mid-twentieth century.

I am an Emeritus Professor of Archaeology at the University of Southampton. I have specialised mainly in the later prehistoric archaeology of Britain, Ireland and western Europe; other research interests have included heritage management and the history and politics of archaeology. As well as work on nationalism (a volume edited with M. Diaz-Andreu), I have researched the role of the Phoenicians in western European nationalist and archaeological thinking. Current interests are in the development from antiquarianism to archaeology, and the emergence of the modern discipline and profession. I have worked on the early career of Gordon Childe and that has led to further research on the activities of other archaeologists in the First World War.
Chazin, Hannah
hc2986@columbia.edu
My current research focuses on how human-animal relationships shaped systems of value and political power and inequality in the past and how these relationships can be investigated materially through archaeology. My work combines zooarchaeological and isotopic methods with theoretical perspectives from animal studies to study human-herd animals relations in the Bronze Age South Caucasus. I am also deeply interested in rigorously understanding how archaeologists use material sciences to generate understandings of the past, present, and future. Part of this research is an interest in studying the history of the discipline of archaeology.

Brukenthal National Museum
Laura Coltofean is a museum curator and an archaeologist at the Brukenthal National Museum in Sibiu, the first public museum in present-day Romania, opened in 1817. Her research focuses on prehistoric archaeology, history of archaeology, the politics of identity in archaeology (gender, nationalism and ethnicity) and heritage.
She earned her PhD in History in December 2016, at the “Lucian Blaga” University of Sibiu, Romania. Her thesis reconstructs the scientific biography of archaeologist Zsófia Torma (1832-1899) in the cultural, social and political context of 19th-century Transylvania (then part of Austria-Hungary and today of Romania). Zsófia Torma was a pioneering Hungarian archaeologist who had a significant contribution to the development of prehistoric archaeology in Transylvania. The information available at this moment indicates that she was the first female archaeologist in Austria-Hungary. Laura Coltofean’s thesis is the first comprehensive work on Zsófia Torma’s activity and the first in Romania on the historiography of women’s participation in archaeology.

My research focuses on the production and spread of knowledge in colonial and post-colonial contexts. My MA dissertation at UCL was primarily a historiographical study into the development of archaeology in Finland and South Africa. I am now interested in examining ‘indigenous’ archaeologies as vernacular science within global history. More specifically, I wish to focus on the current application of policy and legislation to ‘indigenous’ populations and their heritage and to understand what historical factors are influencing uptake, influence, and impact of policy.

The history of Aegean archaeology is my main interest in this field of research. Its marked international profile makes it a very particular study case. I have published articles on Sigmund Freud and Aegean archaeology (in ‘SMEA’ 1994), on women archaeologists in Crete in the 20th century (in ‘Aegaeum’ 30, 2009) and on the history of the palace of Knossos after its abandonment until the 19th century (2009). The need to understand the role played by archaeology in contemporary Italy has pushed me to edit the volume ‘Quale futuro per l’archeologia?’ (2009). I am currently in Crete where I have spent the last two months. At the moment I am finishing a text on the bronze age occupation in the peninsula of Itanos.

I am also researching the work of two mid-to-late Victorian antiquarians, the Scottish minister P.H. Waddell and the English architect and gentleman, J.S. Phené. Both men operated on the margins of what contemporary mainstream archaeological thinking was prepared to embrace, a position that would very much be shared, a generation later, by Mann.

My area of research, Negotiating the Past: Nationalism and the History of Iranian Archaeology, concentrates on the various forms of Iranian nationalism and the pervasive implication of political discourse on the development of Iranian archaeology. Through the analysis of cases studies, this research illuminates the pivotal role of ethnic-dynastic nationalism, Shi’a nationalism and populism as the driving force behind the promotion or demotion of archaeological studies in Iran. The research further contends to articulate the manipulation of various heritage sites to re-construct and appropriate a past that validates the contemporary political agendas of various Iranian states- prior and after the 1979 Revolution.
De Armond, Thea

Stanford University
I completed my PhD in classics and archaeology at Stanford University. My research interests include materiality, public archaeology, and so-called “culture contact,” especially in the Black Sea area. My dissertation is on the history of classics and archaeology in the former Czechoslovakia, focalized through a biography of the classical scholar Antonín Salač (1885-1960). Salač was a philologist, historian, epigrapher, and archaeologist, prominent in his time (and place) but now largely forgotten. In writing on (and through) Salač, a somewhat “marginal” person from a somewhat “marginal” place (at least, in global discourse on classics and archaeology), I hope to provide an alternative history of classics and archaeology — alternative, that is, to “western” histories of the disciplines — and, further, to bring us to reconsider how we produce such histories in the first place.

My academic background is in Mediterranean Archaeology and Cultural Sciences. During my training at the university and after my graduation I have continuously aimed to study the nexus of my two main research interests; the archaeological (site)museum as an institute and (the history of) Mediterranean collections. Currently, as a trainee ‘HeritageTalent’, I’m collaborating with the Allard Pierson Museum (Amsterdam) and the Dutch Institute at Athens in a project about the history of Dutch archaeological history in the Mediterranean, particularly Greece. As it is my task to set up the research, I am very much interested in topics as the history of archaeology and the theoretical embedding of studying the history of science.

I am a Ph.D. candidate in Classical Antiquity and Tradition and my thesis is about the export of antiquities from Rome after 1870.
The aim of my research is to give an overview of the socio-cultural milieu in the late nineteenth – early twentieth century Rome. In 1870 Rome was, in fact, annexed to the Italian Kingdom and a process of transformation of the papal city in the Capital of the new Kingdom began. By the time an efficient law for the cultural heritage preservation was established in 1909, many works of art and antiquities had taken the way of Northern Europe or United States.
Since the most of the traffic of works of art and antiquities in those years was directed to the American art market I spent a six-month period as Visiting Scholar at Columbia University in New York to better understand the phenomenon of collecting and the birth of many American museums in those years.

The aim of my research is to evaluate both the cultural, political and economical origins, and the methodological and epistemological impacts, of the radiocarbon and tree-ring dating methods on prehistory, during the second half of the 20th century. My analysis focuses on the Swiss lake-dwelling researches conducted during the three decades following the Second World War.
Using the complementary approaches of the history and of the sociology of science, I defined five main areas of research : the introduction of radiocarbon and tree-ring dating methods and the political, economical and scientific context between 1950 and 1985; the place of Swiss prehistory in the post-war and coldwar periods, and the way the discipline built itself using scientific methods; the use of radiocarbon and tree-ring methods in the daily archaeological practice; the identity of prehistory between natural sciences and human sciences; the reassessment of prehistoric key-concepts like time, archaeological culture, transition, durations, in light of these two new tools.

His PhD in archaeology was from the University of Cambridge and over his career has been a university lecturer in archaeology, the director of Zambia’s heritage service, and an international publisher in Britain and Australia. He has broad research interests in archaeology and in the history of ideas applied to the deep past, both by scientists and scholars and by their opponents in the world of quasi-archaeologies and quasi-histories. His recent publications include papers on the concept of “pseudoarchaeology”, pyramid theorists, hominin taxonomy and migrations, the early life of Gordon Childe, and palaeoanthropologist Raymond Dart. For details see https://hal.arts.unsw.edu.au/about-us/people/robin-derricourt . His latest book is Antiquity Imagined: the remarkable legacy of Egypt and the Ancient Near East (I.B. Tauris, London 2015) which focusses on the history of ideas about the ancient Near East, especially Egypt and Israel/Palestine, examining and critiquing “imagined pasts” including quasi-histories, and religious, political and ethnic uses of the past today and over the past two millennia. This follows work on similar themes applied to Africa in his book Inventing Africa: history, archaeology and ideas (Pluto, London 2011).

I am a freelance researcher and consultant. Until 2013 I was a senior researcher at the Arts Council where I led a variety of research projects to inform policy and strategy across the cultural sector. I have a background in archaeology and my PhD examined the evolution of archaeology public policy in England. Before joining the Arts Council I worked at the Council for British Archaeology where I worked on a range of public engagement activities and was an editorial assistant for British Archaeology magazine. I also spent a short time at the BBC developing archaeology TV programmes. I am currently on the advisory board of the journal, Cultural Trends.
My PhD critically analysed the evolution of archaeology policy in England through the 20th century. The research took four case studies drawn from distinct areas of archaeology public policy (ancient monuments protection, planning control, portable antiquities, and the international illicit trade in antiquities). The history and context of each case study was analysed using published literature, unpublished archival material and interviews. The thesis identified common themes that illustrate the interests of the state in forming archaeology public policy as well as the process by which it occurs.

My Ph.D research aims to provide an historiographical analysis of past and present representations of the Anglo-Saxon Conversion. To this end, I am performing a critical reading of the antiquarian and archaeological studies of Anglo-Saxon religious change. The Conversion is a topic with a long history, and one which is still being studied to this day. In the context of our current emphasis on the history of archaeology, this study aims to answer the following questions: how have scholars answered the question of “why convert”? What contemporary political and religious factors have been influential to past understandings of the Conversion? How have past representations influenced our view of this period? What has the relationship been between text and archaeology on this subject, and what is it currently?

I am a part of the Australian Research Council Laureate Project “The Collective Biography of Archaeology in the Pacific – a Hidden History”, through which I am investigating the development of Francophone literature and traditions in Pacific scholarship.This project seeks to better understand the distinct historiography and epistemology of the Francophone tradition of archaeology in the Pacific. It also aims at investigating the relations between the over-represented Anglophone research and the more discrete Francophone one, from co-ignorance to co-influences and the creation of particular partnerships between researchers; to examine their role in the development of current narratives, practices and concepts in Pacific Archaeology.
I also bear a personal interest on the history of environmental archaeology, especially in the tropics and the Pacific

Duray, Anne
I am currently working on my dissertation, entitled “The Idea of Greek (Pre)history: Archaeological Knowledge Production and the Making of ‘Early Greece,’ c. 1950-1980,” which is concerned with the intellectual history of Late Bronze Age – Early Iron Age transition (c. 1200-950 BCE) in Greece. I am broadly interested in the ways in which archaeological practices and intellectual agendas have intersected to inform the framing and interpretation of this period during the 20th century. My dissertation draws from both final publications and archival materials in order to trace communities of scholars, the formulation of research agendas, and the execution of said agendas through archaeological investigation in several case studies. I use these specific case studies to also highlight both the legacies of late 19th and early 20th century intellectual frameworks and practices, as well as to contextualize some of the ways so-called “transitional” periods are approached by archaeologists in the present.
As I wrap up my dissertation, I am also exploring possibilities for future projects. These may include history of archaeology in Cyprus, and women and archaeological knowledge production in early-mid 20th century Greek archaeology.

Research synopsis, interests: Trained as an early medieval historian, I began my career looking at burial practice in Merovingian Gaul from historical and archaeological perspective as a way of better understanding the cultural mores and rituals of the post-Roman world. This work was published as two books: Merovingian Mortuary Archaeology and the Making of the Early Middle Ages (University of California 2003) and Caring for Body and Soul: Burial and the Afterlife in the Merovingian World (Penn State 2002). I also studied feasting and fasting and their connection to the expression of gender and spirituality in late antique/early medieval communities in Gaul, published as Creating Community with Food and Drink in Merovingian Gaul (Palgrave 2002).
Over time, however, I have become increasingly interested in the nineteenth-century circumstances that shaped antiquarian and archaeological research of the Middle Ages and how these outlooks continue to shape our work today. This larger project resulted in a book, Uncovering the Germanic Past: Merovingian Archaeology in France, 1830-1914 (Oxford 2012), and a number of journal articles and book chapters on related subjects listed on my academia.edu page and on my university website at http://www.clas.ufl.edu/users/beffros/
I am currently writing a book entitled Incidental Archaeologists: French Officers and the Rediscovery of Roman North Africa, 1830-1870, which assesses the practical and ideological role of Roman archaeology – and ancient Rome more generally – during the first forty years of the French conquest and settlement of Algeria. This project brings to light the intersection between violence, archaeology, and classical narratives and how they shaped the colonial enterprise in North Africa.

I am a PhD student in archaeology at Stockholm University. My research interests include the history of archaeology, cultural heritage studies and feminist theory. My PhD research concerns the relationship between archaeological practice, cultural heritage management and museum education from the 1960s and onwards. I examine the cultural heritage site Eketorp, a prehistoric ring-fort, on the island of Öland, Sweden. The archaeological excavations at Eketorp, which began in 1964, lasted for a decade and soon turned into one of the largest archaeological research projects in Sweden. After the excavations the archaeological site was transformed into a full-scale archaeological reconstruction by the Swedish National Heritage Board. Since the mid-1980s the site has been a popular tourist attraction and open-air museum. The history of the site itself connects to several academic fields, including archaeology, history of archaeology, cultural heritage and museum studies. Eketorp is therefore approached through ethnographic fieldwork as well as archive material and published archaeological texts. The aim of this interdisciplinary approach is to explore how hierarchies and notions of gender in academic practice are created, performed, and maintained through several scientific and heritage institutions.

Joe Flatman is the Head of Central Casework and Programmes in English Heritage’s Designation Department and an Honorary Senior Lecturer at UCL. My research interests primarily lie in relation to the history of the protection of ancient monuments in the UK, especially in England in relation to the centenary of the Ancient Monuments Consolidation and Amendment Act in 1913 (see http://www.english-heritage.org.uk/caring/heritage-centenary/1913-ancient-monuments-act/), and the individuals who were involved in early heritage protection. I am also interested in the lives of a series of individuals associated with the UCL Institute of Archaeology, including: [a] Joan du Plat Taylor (1906-1983), founder librarian of the Institute and a key figure in ‘maritime’ archaeology in the early years of that sub-discipline’s development in the 1950s, 60s and 70s; [b] Honor Frost (1917-2010), another key figure in the development of maritime archaeology from the 1950s onwards, and a close collaborator with du Plat Taylor in the early history of ‘professional’ maritime archaeology, in which both were instrumental networkers and leaders; and [c] Sir Robert Eric Mortimer Wheeler (1890-1976), in which my interest is in particular Wheeler’s life in London and his foundation of the Institute in 1937.My third area of research lies in the informal history of the early days of field archaeology in the UK, especially the early days of ‘commercial’ archaeology, via a web-based research project that I am involved in, Humour in Archaeology (http://humarch.org/).

My background is in Near Eastern archaeology. I have degrees from the Institute of Archaeology, London (BA), the School of Oriental and African Studies, London (MA with Distinction), and the Faculty of Oriental Studies, Oxford (DPhil). I held a Rhodes Scholarship at Oxford. My doctoral work examined the eastern Achaemenid empire in what is now Afghanistan, western Pakistan, and eastern Iran. I subsequently worked with my wife, HARN Administrator Monica Barnes, in Peru, Mexico and Spain. I have also done historical archaeological work in Bermuda. More recently my interests have moved to the history of archaeology, the interaction of indigenous and European technology in Spanish America, and the translation and publication of articles on applied mathematics from the original French of the mid-18th century Encyclopédie into annotated English essays. Recent publications include “The Internationalization and Institutionalization of Archaeology, or, how a rich man’s pastime became an international scientific discipline, and what happened thereafter” (2020) Bulletin af the History of Archaeology 30 (1); and “Cultural imperialism on £10 a day: The short, tumultuous history of the British Institute of Afghan Studies, 1972-1982” (2020) Afghanistan: The journal of the American Institute of Afghan Studies 3 (2).

Joann Freed is Professor Emerita of Archaeology and Classical Studies at Wilfrid Laurier University and Adjunct Professor in the Department of History and Classics at the University of Alberta. She has studied the life of Father Alfred-Louis Delattre (1850-1932) and his early excavations at Carthage for many years, at first somewhat unconsciously, as she selected amphoras excavated by Delattre for an exhibit at the Carthage National Museum in 1990, then more deliberately as she compiled a 60-page bibliography of Delattre’s publications, which appeared in CEDAC Carthage in 2001. Her book, Bringing Carthage Home: The Excavations of Nathan Davis, 1856-1859 (Oxbow Books) appeared in 2011. Her research on Delattre is based on documentation in the Archives of the White Fathers on the Via Aurelia in Rome, but she has also read widely in secondary sources that place Delattre in the French colonial political situation in North Africa. She is in the process of shaping a long first draft of her biography of Delattre into a coherent account. Her cv is available on Academia.edu.
Fuller, Jack
Morgan Scholar of the Institute of Greece Rome and the Classical Tradition (University of Bristol)
My current MPhil topic examines the history of Minoan Archaeology focussing on the site of Palaikastro, and its four major excavation campaigns. I am particularly interested in how research aims, methods, and interpretations for this large Bronze Age townscape are shaped by their historical context (i.e. their contemporary politics and economics) and their relationship with other excavations. My study reflects how these are inextricably linked to one another and presents a general theme of how they change over time.
