“…Nedan diskuterar vi några exempel på områden som på olika sätt tar vara på möjligheter i det unikt autentiska i uppdragsarkeologins undersökningsarbete, materialitet eller platsanknytning för att erbjuda värden utöver berättelser om dåtid ( se Burström 1999Burström , 2015. Först ska vi dock kort beröra hur förändringar i det uppdragsarkeologiska systemet påverkat uppdragsarkeologins möjligheter att, som integrerad del av kulturmiljövården, förädla de värden som genereras ur verksamheterna.…”

In this text we discuss how Swedish contract archaeology can develop its socialengagement by creating new areas of relevance to society, beyond the generalactivities of disseminating results. We do so by giving concrete examples of howthis can be done, using archaeological excavations as a starting point. The examplesinclude engaging the local community in future planning for a social sustainableliving environment, collaboration with the tourism sector, development of teachingmaterials for secondary schools, memory training for people with acquired braindamage, and school programs focusing on a socially sustainable and inclusive society.The purpose of the text is to inspire change, by showing development opportunitiesfor future contract archaeology that will benefit both performers and recipients,and contribute to society’s multifaceted needs.

‘Reflexiveness’ in archaeology, nationalism, and Europeanism

Abstract‘Reflexiveness’ is a term used for the growth of discussions in archaeology on its history, epistemology, and social relevance. While much of this reflecting refers to the relation of archaeology and nationalism, leading to insights into the politicisation of archaeological research and presentation to the public and the use of the past for ideological purposes, still we can witness many parallels to the use of prehistory for the creation of a European identity. After briefly commenting on discussions on different nationalisms and national and cultural identity, I will present a short history of ideas of Europe, followed by a consideration of two examples of the attempt to create the lacking founding myth of post-cold-war Europe. In the end, it is argued that a ‘Reflexive Theory’ should necessarily replace current rather politically motivated ‘reflexiveness’ and is needed to examine critically the Europeanist notion of European archaeology.

Discourse has emerged about the political preconditions of its own field of production, especially its politicisation in the past, and its relation with nationalism (e.g. Atkinson, Banks and O
