• Resumen

  • This paper primarily describes the content of an introductory presentation given by the author for the Archaeological Sciences session of the CASA 2019 conference. In addition to introducing the session’s speakers and their topics, this presents an abridged perspective of major developments in recent years in the field of archaeological sciences, and discussion of the state of research at present and in the future. Considerations such as the continued exponential growth in data production, interdisciplinary co-operations and conflicts, and the ethical questions around some research approaches form the basis of an examination of possible future trajectories for research in the field.
