Trajectories towards a knowledge-producing contract archaeology.

• In this presentation I trace some recent changes in the development of contract archaeology in Europe, and the debates following from it. Not least the economic crisis after 2008 made apparent the vulnerability of certain forms of contract archaeology, which raised demands for a more sustainable organisation of the fi eld. Also the rise of ‘Big Data’ and demands for open access defi ne new challenges for a better European integration of archaeological data and research. It is therefore time for a modernisation of international conventions and codes of conduct from professional associations to match these new realities
