Resumen de ‘Public Archaeology in 10 years? We will hopefully learn to share more, and better’
Do we need a roadmap to the future? Or do we ‘wing it’, making it up as we go along? Big questions, but never more important than now, in this current time of uncertainty.
Let’s start small, and refocus the question on our professional and scholarly area of interest and activities.

For what, and for whom, are we and will we be doing research and knowledge sharing? With whom will we operate and work in our capacity as scholars, practitioners, teachers? Even asking why do archaeology may seem straightforward now, but it isn’t. At least, it shouldn’t be.
