Human Lives and Deaths

• Archaeology is inherently transdisciplinary as a discipline. In addition to data, it requires the methodological and interpretative work of science, humanities, and social science to puzzle together the fragmented pieces of the past into a coherent story about human lives and deaths. This entry argues that while archaeology is currently benefitting from an intensification of cross‐disciplinary collaborations, we need to maintain this direction in the discipline by developing stronger literacy across the subdisciplinary boundaries and foster a disciplinary culture that explicitly credits the different sides equally.
