“…In recent years, however, historical archaeologists have joined other archaeologists in realizing that heritage is a social construction that is often used to promote national ideologies, factional perspectives, and even pernicious world views. The role of memory-literally what gets remembered and why-in constructing and sustaining heritage also has come to the fore in much archaeological thinking throughout the world (e.g., Stritch 2006).…”

The practice of historical archaeology has exploded over the past two decades, and especially since 2000. Methodological advances and new theoretical insights mean that archaeological research requires periodic evaluation, and this overview builds on the work of three earlier assessors of the discipline. Here, I concentrate on four areas of research currently being pursued by historical archaeologists: analytical scale, capitalism, social inequality, and heritage and memory. I conclude that historical archaeologists have made major strides in understanding the modern world and that future research promises to offer diverse perspectives that will deepen our appreciation for how the past influences the present.

“…The assistant minister for culture at the time, the archaeologist M. Korać, has stated that through the relevant ministries the government has consistently supported and developed this project, in an attempt to promote the Roman Emperors born on the territory of contemporary Serbia as the country's new commercial brand. 3 Any discussion of the role of heritage in the contemporary social context must take into account that heritage is, among other things, an economic resource exploited everywhere as a key component in the promotion of tourism, economic development and regeneration (Ashworth, Graham, and Tunbridge 2007, 36;Stritch 2006;Porter 2008). In that perspective, this project could be considered as a usual strategy in the management of cultural resources.…”

Drawing from the constructivist approach to heritage that defines it as a reflection of contemporary social circumstances, we attempt to outline the key agencies and processes shaping the reception of the Roman heritage in contemporary Serbia. Our case study points to the process of creation of the main narrative of Roman heritage in the country as Serbiahomeland of the Roman Emperors and to its role in the construction and promotion of social ideologies and identities. Analysis of the increasing popularisation of the legacy of the Roman past in public discourse presents considerable opportunities for questioning the social reality reflected by the reception of Roman heritage in Serbian context.
