Cultural Heritage and the Future
- 2021
-
Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (refereegranskat)abstract
- Cultural Heritage and the Future brings together an international group of scholars and experts to consider the relationship between cultural heritage and the future.Drawing on case studies from around the world, the contributing authors insist that cultural heritage and the future are intimately linked and that the development of futures thinking should be a priority for academics, students and those working in the wider professional heritage sector. Until recently, the future has never attracted substantial research and debate within heritage studies and heritage management, and this book addresses this gap by offering a balance of theoretical and empirical content that will stimulate multidisciplinary debate in the burgeoning field of critical heritage studies.Cultural Heritage and the Future questions the role of heritage in future making and will be of great relevance to academics and students working in the fields of museum and heritage studies, archaeology, anthropology, architecture, conservation studies, sociology, history and geography. Those working in the heritage professions will also find much to interest them within the pages of this book.

Heritage Futures : Comparative Approaches to Natural and Cultural Heritage Practices
- 2020
-
Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (refereegranskat)abstract
- Preservation of natural and cultural heritage is often said to be something that is done for the future, or on behalf of future generations, but the precise relationship of such practices to the future is rarely reflected upon. Heritage Futures draws on research undertaken over four years by an interdisciplinary, international team of 16 researchers and more than 25 partner organisations to explore the role of heritage and heritage-like practices in building future worlds.Engaging broad themes such as diversity, transformation, profusion and uncertainty, Heritage Futures aims to understand how a range of conservation and preservation practices across a number of countries assemble and resource different kinds of futures, and the possibilities that emerge from such collaborative research for alternative approaches to heritage in the Anthropocene. Case studies include the cryopreservation of endangered DNA in frozen zoos, nuclear waste management, seed biobanking, landscape rewilding, social history collecting, space messaging, endangered language documentation, built and natural heritage management, domestic keeping and discarding practices, and world heritage site management.

- The future has seldom been an object of archaeological study even though there are some very profound and deep-reaching links between past, present, and future. At the same time, archaeologists work to preserve places, environments, and associated values and knowledge for future generations. But although it is not far-fetched to claim that the future will differ from what we are used to in the present, in managing archaeological heritage, most assumptions about the future do not build on an understanding of how the future will be different from today. We argue in this paper that archaeologists should not only promote historical consciousness but also future consciousness.

Archaeology and the future : Managing nuclear waste as a living heritage
- 2015
-
Ingår i: Radioactive Waste Management and Constructing Memory for Future Generations. - : OECD Publishing. ; , s. 97-101

Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Archaeology is the study of the past and its remains in the present. It is relevant to the long-term preservation of records, knowledge and memory, e.g. regarding final repositories of nuclear waste, in two ways. Firstly, future archaeology may promise the recovery of lost information, knowledge and meaning of remains of the past. Secondly, present-day archaeology can offer lessons about how future societies will make sense of remains of the past.Archaeology is always situated in a larger social and cultural context and the information, knowledge and meaning it generates is necessarily of its own present. Archaeological knowledge reflects contemporary perceptions of past and future; these perceptions change over time. Indeed, we cannot assume that in the future there will be any archaeology at all. We think, therefore, that future societies will want, and need, to make their own decisions about sites associated with nuclear waste, based on their own perceptions of past and future. To facilitate this process in the long term we need to engage each present, keeping safe options open.In this text we elaborate on these issues from our perspective as archaeologists.

- The future is an important new topic for archaeology. Archaeologists do not only study past futures but are also concerned with future pasts and in particular with the impact of their work on future societies. Drawing on the notion of “heritage futures”, archaeological heritage is claimed to contribute to sustainable development and address challenges posed by climate change, human conflicts, and others.

Communicating with future generations : what are the benefits of preserving for future generations? Nuclear power and beyond

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- In 1977, the first fast breeder nuclear reactor in the world to provide electricity to a national grid was shut down for the last time. The Dounreay Dome on the North coast of Scotland, near Thurso, Caithness, was completed in 1958 and its silhouette later became an emblem of the Atomic Age. As the decommission of the entire site proceeds, incorporating even other defunct nuclear reactors and associated facilities, the question arose whether the Dome can and should be preserved as cultural heritage for the benefit of future generations. Using the example of the legacy of the nuclear power station at Dounreay, this paper discusses the question what it means to preserve something for the benefit of future generations.

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Studies of the future are pertinent in order to make the best decisions in present society. They are, however, full of difficulties, as the future is an empirical field which does not exist (Slaughter, 1996; Bell, 1997; Mogensen, 2006). Both pertinence and difficulties apply also to studying the future in relation to human culture. The main challenge lies in the circumstance that cultural heritage of the future cannot in itself be empirically investigated and described, since it is in part dependent on decisions that have not yet been made. Studying heritage futures is thus about considering what we know about cultural heritage in the context of prognoses and visions of what will come. Yet how do we do that? The American anthropologist Samuel Gerald Collins contributed to an interesting discussion on how anthropology and anthropologists have previously embraced the future and how they might now be embracing it. He emphasized that an important approach is to vouchsafe the possibility that future ways in which people will think and act may be very different from today, and, in doing so, to open up a space (or a spacetime) for critical reflection on the present (Collins, 2008, p. 8). This approach is a useful programmatic declaration for engaging with the future in disciplines such as anthropology, archaeology, history and heritage studies.

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The heritage sector would benefit from more detailed knowledge on how specific perceptions of the future inform heritage practices and how contemporary heritage management relates to those future trends that we can actually make out today. Given that heritage experts should be among those best equipped to place social practices and their underlying logics into a larger historical perspective acknowledging change over time, this is somewhat surprising. One possible concrete strategy is to add temporality to decisions about heritage conservation. This can be achieved either by adding explicit future recipients to specific conservation projects or by setting “expiry dates”. Another possible strategy aims at directly empowering future generations. Maybe the key for future benefits of heritage lies as much in educating audiences how to think and use heritage in a way that benefits people and society rather than merely in making sure that a particular kind of heritage is physically preserved.

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The ways in which people think and act are bound to particular cultural contexts and are therefore specific in time and place. Given that the cultural heritage sector should appreciate this, it is somewhat ironic that the need to preserve the heritage for the future is widely taken for granted, both in the heritage sector itself and society at large. Detailed discussions of the future in the literature about heritage are few and those that take place are often about ensuring continuity of the present rather than preparing for future change. Even at the highest international level, a potentially different significance of heritage in the future, compared with the present, is seldom considered. The chapter also presents an overview on the key concepts discussed in this book.

Lessons from archaeology and heritage studies for the long-term preservation of records, knowledge and memory concerning deep geological disposal sites for nuclear waste
- 2021
-
Ingår i: Interdisciplinary Research Symposium on the Safety of Nuclear Disposal Practices safeND. - : Copernicus Publications. ; , s. 287-288
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Safe disposal of nuclear waste in deep geological repositories requires secure knowledge transfer or knowledge recovery in time spans of many tens of thousands of years. Never before has any detailed record, knowledge or memory been reliably preserved or recovered over comparable time periods.This challenge has been extensively addressed since the late 1980s, initially during the SANDIA workshops in the USA and more recently in the Nuclear Energy Agency/Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (NEA/OECD) project on Preservation of Records, Knowledge and Memory Across Generations (Schröder, 2019). Experts from many disciplines including engineering, the natural sciences, information technology, social studies of science and technology, semiotics, public management, and design as well as artists have contributed to these discussions. Some scholars from the humanities have been involved in working on these issues, especially in recent decades. At the same time, much of the existing work has drawn on assumptions about human history, archaeological monuments and cultural heritage that have been scrutinized and deemed deeply flawed by Joyce (2020).The authors of the present paper are archaeologists and cultural heritage experts. For the past decade, they have been working with the challenge of preserving records, knowledge and memory concerning deep geological disposal sites for nuclear waste (Holtorf and Högberg, 2021). From the perspective of the human sciences, in particular archaeology and heritage studies, the unique task at hand involves not only the previously recognized challenges that require consideration of long-term material durability, linguistic intelligibility, and appropriate sense-making of any communicated information but also two challenges not previously addressed:Human action as informed by cultural and social processes. In designing of various long-term mechanisms, we risk overlooking that what people will do is not going to be governed by mechanics. How human beings learn, reason, value, decide, and act is informed by specific cultural and social processes creating context and meaning. We must avoid ignoring these complexities governing human thinking and agency. This challenge requires more work on understanding how sentient and intelligent beings like humans act in variable contexts across time and space.Our anticipatory assumptions. A proverb states that “nothing ages faster than the future”. In making assumptions about future generations' understandings, meanings, and significances of our nuclear waste we risk “colonizing” the future, fail to embrace variability over time, and miss realizing multiple futures and emerging conditions. We must therefore not foreclose uncertain futures but instead create circumstances favorable for change and transformation of relevant knowledge and memory. This challenge requires more work with processes of translation between generations.The challenges of assessing our anticipatory assumptions and understanding how humans act will also need to be addressed in transmitting records, knowledge and memory for the benefit of future generations.

Nuclear Waste as Critical Heritage

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Within the nuclear environmental humanities, it falls especially to the disciplines of Archaeology and Heritage Studies to develop approaches and perspectives about remembering and planning extending across long periods of time. Archaeology and Heritage Studies are versed in paying attention to both the tangible and the intangible realms and to varying perceptions and indeed, complex interrelations between past, present, and future. Archaeology, in particular, commonly adopts long-term perspectives in research. Archaeologists working in the heritage sector commonly manage tangible and intangible human legacies, the cultural heritage, with present and future needs in mind. In this chapter we offer two arguments to the emerging field of nuclear environmental humanities: firstly, an archaeological understanding of time in the context of historical consciousness, and indeed, as we will argue, future consciousness, and how it can inspire critical thinking about the nuclear domain across disciplines; secondly, the notion of nuclear waste as cultural heritage, in particular, offers critical insights that have the potential to challenge not only current thinking in the nuclear waste sector, but also current thinking in the humanities themselves.

Perceptions of the future in preservation strategies : (Or: why Essly von Eysselsberg’s body is no longer taken across the lake)

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This chapter argues that the long-term accessibility of heritage relies to a great extent on perceptions of the future that are articulated in specific strategies of preservation. It addresses three perceptions of the future: one that assumes ongoing continuity, one that assumes controllable transformation, and one that assumes an eventual break in continuity. The chapter presents some examples from the village of Hallstatt that illustrate how a continuity-oriented perception of the future can facilitate accessibility over several centuries.

The Contemporary Archaeology of Nuclear Waste : Communicating with the Future
- 2016
-
Ingår i: Arkæologisk Forum. - 1399-5545. ; :35, s. 31-37
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The future will differ from what we are used to in the present. Yet in archaeology, the heritage sector and the nuclear waste sector, most assumptions do not build on an understanding of how the future will be different from today. Instead, planning is made as if key aspects of heritage and nuclear waste will not change significantly in the future at all. The present authors are both archaeologists with an interest in applying our academic expertise to challenges in contemporary and future society (Holtorf and Högberg, 2015a). Between 2012 and 2014 we worked on an interdisciplinary research project entitled One hundred thousand years back and forth. Archaeology meets radioactive waste. Based on results from this project, we suggest here that archaeologists and other professionals working in the heritage sector, as well as their institutions, should start thinking in more depth about the future. We suggest that heritage specialists should not only promote historical consciousness but also future consciousness. Both these forms of consciousness are essential for the ability to appreciate the interconnections between past, present and future.

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- One of the societal challenges of our time is to design, build and operate repositories for the safe disposal of long-lived nuclear waste. This chapter considers the question of how to manage transmissions of essential records, knowledge and memory concerning final repositories for nuclear waste across long time periods. Most stakeholders in the nuclear waste sector agree that it is important to empower future generations to make informed decisions during any kind of interaction with the repository to avoid inadvertent intrusion or facilitate safe retrieval of any part of the content. The long-term preservation of nuclear waste and the legacy of the nuclear age are not only technical and historical concerns but deeply cultural. Heritage negotiates people’s understanding and a society’s relationship between past, present, and future. This applies to nuclear waste to the same extent as to other forms of cultural heritage.

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- In this text, we argue that the cultural heritage sector, including Heritage Science, needs to address an inherent lack of capability in futures thinking by enhancing foresight and ‘futures literacy’. The sector ought to take seriously the consequences of the insight that the uses and values of cultural heritage in future societies will be different from those in the present and in the past. Foresight and futures literacy will allow the cultural heritage sector to respond to climate change and other global developments, risks and challenges anticipated by futurists.

- In diesem Beitrag argumentieren wir, dass Langzeitzugänglichkeit von Informationen maßgeblich von den Zukunftsbildern geprägt wird, die in konkreten Erhaltungsstrategien ihren Ausdruck finden. Wie wir uns heute die Zukunft vorstellen, beeinflusst auf welche Weise wir etwas bewahren. Die künftige Vergangenheit hängt somit von der gegenwärtigen Zukunft ab. Die Beispiele, die diese These in unserem Artikel entwickeln und illustrieren sollen, haben alle einen Bezug zu dem österreichischen Ort Hallstatt im Salzkammergut. Dadurch wird deutlich, wie an einem einzigen Platz unterschiedliche Zukunftsbilder zusammenspielen und in konkreten Erhaltungsstrategien zu unterschiedlicher Langzeitzugänglichkeit führen.Wir diskutieren in diesem Beitrag drei unterschiedliche Zukunftsbilder. Sie gehen aus von einer sich fortsetzenden Kontinuität, einem kontrollierbaren Wandel beziehungsweise einem früher oder später kommenden Kontinuitätsbruch. Obwohl man vielleicht erwarten könnte, dass Erhaltungsstrategien und auf ihnen beruhende Langzeitzugänglichkeit von Information desto verlässlicher sein werden, je weniger man davon ausgeht, dass die Dinge bleiben wie sie sind, und je mehr man mit Veränderung rechnet, wird unsere Diskussion zeigen, dass dies nicht unbedingt so ist.

- This study investigates how managers and employees at County Museums in Sweden think about, work with, and relate to the future in their daily practice. We examined which tools and routines the museums employ to work concretely with different future perspectives. The study is thus about those forms of future consciousness that exist in the museums. The results show that the future is implicitly present but often remains unarticulated in the work of the museum. The museums work with short future perspectives which are often linked to concrete tasks or development work. The future perspectives at the museums are largely locked in the present or in a near future. Concrete tools, skills and routines to develop future consciousness are lacking. However, the results show that there is great interest and willingness among Swedish County Museums to implement tools, skills, and routines for a more developed engagement with futures.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- All countries that manage nuclear waste will need to store it for a long time. When all the reactors in Sweden have been taken out of use there will be around 12,000 tonnes of highly radioactive waste. For the future safety of humans and nature, the plan is to store the waste for 100,000 years in tunnels drilled 500 metres under ground. Once the waste is in place and the nal repositories are closed, society will be faced with the task of nding ways to keep knowledge of these places alive for a very long time to come. The task is unique. Never before has anyone created information and knowledge intended for someone thousands of years into the future. Between 2012 and 2015 we have worked with the project “One hundred thousand years back and forth – archaeology meets radioactive waste”. We have studied how one can think about past, present and future and about the resources that are needed if we are to be able to envisage a future extending over thousands of years. From a theoretical discussion on the concept of future consciousness, we argue that nal repositories for nuclear waste must be built in a exible manner to be able to work in different ways in relation to many different futures. Storage of radioactive waste embraces noticeable aspects of materiality, and relevant planning and decision-making processes can bene t from archaeological expertise. Long-time nal repositories of nuclear waste also pose challenges to contemporary archaeology. Various ways to conceptualize futures are part of our contemporary society. This has not been studied to any great extent within the eld archaeology of the contemporary world. It is likely that we will hear more in time to come about future consciousness in contemporary archaeology, then in the form of future archaeology.

No future in archaeological heritage management?

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Although the future is mentioned frequently in overarching aims and visions, and it is a major drive in the daily work of archaeological heritage managers and indeed heritage professionals more generally, it remains unclear precisely how an overall commitment to the future can best inform specific heritage practices. It seems that most archaeologists and other heritage professionals cannot easily express how they conceive of the future they work for, and how their work will impact on that future. The future tends to remain implicit in daily practice which operates in a continuing, rolling present. The authors argue that this needs to change because present-day heritage management may be much less beneficial for the future than we commonly expect.

Nuclear waste as cultural heritage of the future : 14361

Ingår i: WM2014 Proceedings. - : WM Symposia.

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Archaeology is accustomed to dealing with long term perspectives and to manage human legacies, the cultural heritage. Cultural heritage management and nuclear waste management share concerns with the permanent preservation of material items, long-term memory keeping, and knowledge transfer to future generations. Nuclear waste can be considered as a very particular kind of future cultural heritage. In this paper, we explore the affinities and differences between cultural heritage and nuclear waste through a discussion of the existing divergences of future consciousness in both realms. We argue that making nuclear waste management a question of heritage may contribute to making the inadvertent exposure of future human beings to radioactivity less likely. At the same time, it might contribute to appreciating nuclear waste not only as a threat but also a resource for future generations, thus allowing for perceptions, valuations and uses of this heritage in futures that will radically differ from today.

- In this text we discuss how Swedish contract archaeology can develop its social engagement by creating new areas of relevance to society, beyond the general activities of disseminating results. We do so by giving concrete examples of how this can be done, using archaeological excavations as a starting point. The examples include engaging the local community in future planning for a social sustainable living environment, collaboration with the tourism sector, development of teaching materials for secondary schools, memory training for people with acquired brain damage, and school programs focusing on a socially sustainable and inclusive society. The purpose of the text is to inspire change, by showing development opportunities for future contract archaeology that will benefit both performers and recipients, and contribute to society’s multifaceted needs.

Post-Pandemic Tourism Development : Navigating Uncertainty in the Visitor Economy
- 2023
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has been presenting stakeholders in the visitor economy with an unprecedented level of uncertainty. Sweden’s approach to handling the pandemic, which is viewed as an international exception, and Småland and Öland with its focus on limited-season summer tourism provide an exceptional context to study how key stakeholders deal with relevant challenges from a decision-making perspective, promising insights beyond the immediate study context.The pandemic has been and still is a chance to (re-)engage with the development trajectories of tourism in this area and what kind of futures various local stakeholders envision for it. To this end, it is valuable to evaluate the impact and response to Covid-19 in relation to developing the local UNESCO World Heritage site and to achieving the UN Agenda 2030 for Sustainable Development.The interdisciplinary research project documented in this report sought to study how stakeholders in the visitor economy make sense of the uncertainty induced by the current SARS-CoV-2 pandemic in the short- and long-run through different lenses. To this end, we studied how stakeholders in the visitor economy reflected on their decisions to deal with the immediate implications of pandemic tourism and plan to engage them in a forward-looking process of scenario development and action-learning to open horizons that envision the present crisis as a chance to work towards a more sustainable future.The project results address aspects of how the visitor economy in Småland can deal both with the present uncertainty and future crises of a similar nature. In the short-run, we identified how stakeholders in the local visitor economy made sense of the uncertainty of visitor business during the pandemic. This provides points of reflection for the stakeholders involved and suggestions for policy considerations to support the visitor economy for the future. For the long-run, we enhanced futures thinking and discussed development perspectives with stakeholders in the local visitor economy. This is a necessary input to inspiring strategies towards sustainable development beyond the immediate necessities of the present.

Licentiatavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The subject of corpses from mass violence is surprisingly unexplored, even though the materiality of the corpse carries strong symbolic capital in conflicts. The aim of my PhD research is to create new knowledge about the implications of unburied corpses that stem from intergroup conflicts, and subsequently to add knowledge concerning how intergroup violence is organised to achieve desired social agendas.In the licentiate thesis presented here, I research the conditions for postmortem agency and how treatment of corpses can be studied in prehistory, specifically through the material remains of unburied corpses from the Sandby borg massacre. The Sandby borg case study is explored through a bioarchaeological perspective. Inside the Iron Age ringfort, the remains of at least 26 individuals have been recovered hitherto. Several of the dead display traces of lethal intergroup violence. By integrating osteology, archaeology, taphonomy and social theories, I show how bioarchaeological research can contribute to the understanding of past postmortem agency in relation to intergroup violence as a social process. The thesis is comprised of four articles.

The Corporeality of Death : Bioarchaeological, Taphonomic, and Forensic Anthropological Studies of Human Remains
- 2021
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The aim of this work is to advance the knowledge of peri- and postmortem corporeal circumstances in relation to human remains contexts, as well as to demonstrate the value of that knowledge in forensic and archaeological practice and research. This article-based dissertation encompasses papers in bioarchaeology and forensic anthropology, with an emphasis on taphonomy. The studies include analyses of human osseous material and human decomposition in relation to spatial and social contexts, from both theoretical and methodological perspectives.Taphonomic knowledge is vital to interpretations of the circumstances of peri- and postmortem deposition, with a concern for whether features were created by human hand or the result of decomposition processes and other factors. For example, taphonomic knowledge can aid interpretations of the peri- and postmortem sequence of events, of the agents that have affected human remains, as well as for estimations of time since death. When integrated with social theories, taphonomic information can be used to interpret past events. In this dissertation, a combination of bioarchaeological and forensic taphonomic methods are used to address the question of what processes have shaped mortuary contexts. Specifically, these questions are raised in relation to the peri- and postmortem circumstances of the dead in the Iron Age ringfort of Sandby borg, and about the rate and progress of human decomposition in a Swedish outdoor environment and in a coffin. Additionally, the question is raised of how taphonomic knowledge can inform interpretations of mortuary contexts, and of the current state and potential developments of forensic anthropology and archaeology in Sweden. The result provides us with information of depositional history in terms of events that created and modified deposits of human remains. Furthermore, this research highlights some limitations in taphonomic reconstructions. The research presented here is helpful for interpretations of what has occurred in the distant as well as recent pasts, to understand potentially confounding factors, and how forensic anthropology can benefit Swedish crime scene investigations. In so doing, the knowledge of peri- and postmortem corporeal circumstances and how it can be used has been advanced in relation to both the archaeological and forensic fields.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The area around the villages of Kvarnby and S.dra Sallerup in south-west Scania is the only known flint-mining site in Sweden. Radiocarbon dates show that the flint was mined mainly during the earliest phase of the Early Neolithic, between c. 4000 and 3600 BC, thus coinciding with the earliest evidence of the Funnel Beaker Culture in the region. The type of flint, the size of the flint nodules, production debris in the mining area and the concentration of point-butted axes to south-west Scania all suggest that the mining was related to the extraction of flint for the production of point-butted axes. However, considering the abundance of easily available flint elsewhere in the region, it seems clear that the mining was not motivated purely by economic reasons. We suggest that the very extraction of flint from pits and shafts in the chalk was socially and symbolically significant in itself.

Licentiatavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The title of this licentiate thesis is: Urban contract archaeology, public outreach and schools. Beyond the horizons of history teaching. The aim of my licentiate thesis is to investigate how educational programs for schools are implemented within the framework of contract archaeology. I study the underlying incentives that motivate public outreach within contract archaeology, who carries out the outreach and what impact educational programs have on schools. My research project also aims to explore how public outreach within contract archaeology can be organized to meet schools´ demand for knowledge and activities. With an interdisciplinary approach, taken from archaeology and educational sciences, the goal is to instigate a dialogue between the scientific community and contract archaeology, as well as between contract archaeology and schools.As a primary goal, midway into in my doctoral degree, I have chosen in this licentiate thesis to study the practices of public outreach on urban excavation sites in Sweden, specifically studying outreach practices towards schools.The research queries in the licentiate thesis are: What are the purposes and objectives with public outreach in contract archaeology?What are the preconditions for working with public outreach in contract archaeology?How are the practices of public outreach aimed at schools conducted at urban excavation sites?How do educational programs within contract archaeology address the needs and goals of school education? Based on these queries, I also discuss how contract archaeology in the future can make possible broader collaborations with schools. This serves as an introduction to how archaeo-didactics can evolve bringing together contract archaeology's goals and potential in an educational situation, with the needs and goals of school education.

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Only among humans is teaching intentional, socially structured, and symbolically mediated. In this chapter, evidence regarding the evolution of the mindreading and communicative capacities underlying intentional teaching is reviewed. Play, rehearsal, and apprenticeship are discussed as central to the analyses of teaching. We present a series of levels of teaching. First of all, we separate non-intentional from intentional teaching. For non-intentional teaching, we discuss facilitation and approval/disapproval and analyze examples from non-human species. We then distinguish between six levels of intentional teaching: (1) intentional approval/disapproval, (2) drawing attention, (3) demonstrating, (4) communicating concepts, (5) explaining concept relations, and (6) narrating. We hypothesize that level after level has been added during the evolution of teaching. We analyze communicative requirements for the levels, concluding that displaced communication is required for level 4 and symbolic language only for levels 5 to 6. We focus on the role of demonstration and pantomime and argue that pantomime has been instrumental in the evolution of language. We present archaeological evidence for when the different levels of teaching emerge. We argue that learning Oldowan technology requires teaching by demonstration, and that learning Acheulean hand-axe technology requires communicating concepts. It follows that several levels of intentional teaching predate homo sapiens.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- We argue that Kline’s analysis does not account for the evolutionary mechanisms that can explain the uniqueness of human teaching. We suggest that data should be complemented by an analysis of archaeological material with respect to what forms of teaching are required for the transmission of technologies over generations.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Teaching is present in all human societies, while within other species it is very limited. Something happened during the evolution of Homo sapiens that also made us Homo docens—the teaching animal. Based on discussions of animal and hominin learning, we analyze the evolution of intentional teaching by a series of levels that require increasing capacities of mind reading and communication on the part of the teacher and the learner. The levels of teaching are (1) intentional evaluative feedback, (2) drawing attention, (3) demonstrating, (4) communicating concepts, and (5) explaining relations between concepts. We suggest that level after level has been added during the evolution of teaching. We demonstrate how different technologies depend on increasing sophistication in the levels of cognition and communication required for teaching them. As regards the archaeological evidence for the different levels, we argue that stable transmission of the Oldowan technology requires at least teaching by demonstration and that learning the late Acheulean hand-axe technology requires at least communicating concepts. We conclude that H. docens preceded H. sapiens.

Where does the elephant come from? : The evolution of causal cognition is the key

- Osiurak and Reynaud do not explain the evolutionary emergence and development of the elephant in the room, that is, technical cognition. We first argue that there is a tight correlation between the evolution of cumulative technological culture (CTC) and the evolution of reasoning about abstract forces. Second, intentional teaching plays a greater role in CTC evolution than acknowledged in the target article.

- Flint was one of the most widely employed raw materials for artefact manufacture in Denmarkand Sweden during the Stone Age, and it continued to be used during subsequent periods.Prehistoric flint mining and lithic manufacturing studies in these countries have attractedconsiderable attention, but there have been no recent attempts to chemically characterize thegeological source materials. This paper builds on a pilot study (Hughes et al. 2010) and usesenergy-dispersive X-ray fluorescence (EDXRF) analysis to determine quantitative compositionestimates for nine major, minor and certain trace elements in seven archaeologicallysignificant flint sources in Denmark and Sweden, along with new data on a number of othersources of prehistoric significance. These data provide a geochemical foundation for ongoingresearch devoted to determining contrasts and continuities in the time and space utilization offlint sources in Scandinavian prehistory.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This article presents a lithic attribute analysis of blades from the late Middle Stone Age site, Hollow Rock Shelter (HRS), in the Western Cape Province of South Africa. Blades from the Still Bay (SB) Industry have not been described previously, but this artifact category makes up a considerable part of the site’ s lithic assemblage. Blades were systematically detached from prepared cores with a well-shaped exterior core surface. Despite this, variation in attributes best defi nes blades from HRS. The lithic assemblage also holds a large amount of SB points. Points and blades are present in the same excavation units and layers, indicating they are contemporary. Results of this study show the diffi culties of using attribute analysis for interpreting technological aspects of blade production. It is concluded that integrated experiments, together with comparative studies between sites, are needed to further understanding of SB blades.

- Late Neolithic metal axes are rarely found during archaeological excavations. In the autumn of 2015, however, it did happen. Metal detecting at Eskilstorp in south-west Scania (fig. 1) revealed a Late Neolithic axe of the Pile type (figs 2–3). The Eskilstorp axe turned out to be unique. It is a silvercoated copper axe. In this note we present the results of the initial analyses performed on the axe.
