Abstract
The archaeology of Islam in Britain; recognition and potential
Andrew Petersen
1080 - 1092
Reviews the evidence for British contact with the Islamic world, and for the presence of Muslims in Britain, from the eight century to the present day. Evidence considered includes coins, ceramics and glass, and influence on British architecture (and purpose built mosques).
Practising archaeology at a time of climatic catastrophe
Peter Mitchell
1093 - 1103
Considers whether or not the archaeological community has a particular responsibility to respond to current global climate change, and if so, what that response might be. Notes that archaeology has a unique perspective to bring, given its experience of studying human history over long periods of time. Discusses practical responses archaeology as a discipline might make to global climate change, both in mitigating damage to newly threatened sites, and in using knowledge of the past to assist in developing modern day mitigation strategies. Also discusses the necessity for examination of the ethics of day to day archaeological practice, for example considering the carbon costs of travel to conferences or for fieldwork.
