Abstract
Archaeology and the British Academy:
Barry Cunliffe

Genetics and language in contemporary archaeology
Colin Renfrew
43 - 76
which considers current trends in the employment of DNA and linguistics to study past human populations
Archaeological theory
Ian Hodder
77 - 90
which attempts to classify the current diversity of archaeological theory. Outlines the main historical developments of archaeological theory in the twentieth century, paying attention to the conditions of production of archaeological knowledge. Identifies a shift from `pure theory' to `ethical practices'
Western Eurasia
Anthony F Harding
363 - 384
which discusses recent changes in the practice of archaeology in Europe. Focuses on four current European debates: the origins of Europe's peoples; identities in archaeology; social division and organisation in ancient societies; and the nature of social and political organisations in societies in early Europe
Marriages of true minds: archaeology with texts
Martin O H Carver
465 - 496

Vincent M Lamotta
William A Longacre
William L Rathje

provides examples of how archaeological techniques, methods and theories can be applied to understanding the present as well as the past. Suggests that archaeological studies of the present (and recent past) will become increasingly important

which suggests that over recent decades archaeology has witnessed a broadening of its scope which has resulted in the role of the discipline in wider society being evaluated. Outlines some of the issues that have led to this turn towards the public and some of its potential consequences
Computing futures: visions of the past
Robin Boast
567 - 592
explores a range of claims that have been made about the use of computing in archaeology. Compares the claims about the usefulness, applicability or value of computing with similar claims made for other information technologies in the late-nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries. Questions whether there is any non-trivial future for archaeological computing
