“…For example, the focus on twentieth-century conflict and industrial heritage has certainly led to a gender bias in the people studied because, with only some notable exceptions, warfare and most factory work were traditionally masculine occupations. The diversification of modern and contemporary archaeology might therefore move forward by grounding itself in recent advances in feminist, gender and queer archaeology (gender archaeology in France has so far confined itself to prehistoric studies, see Péré-Noguès 2011; Belard 2012, 2015; Trémeaud 2015; Algrain 2020). Archaeological studies of the material traces of women's labour in the modern and contemporary period might provide a balance to the current widespread androcentrism (see Michaut 2023 for an analysis of this phenomenon in a colonial context).…”

Modern and contemporary archaeology, the French equivalent of historical archaeology, emerged in the 1970s. Subsequent attempts at theorising this sub-discipline have been hindered by a lack of broad professional recognition and funding. While the archaeology of the sixteenth to eighteenth centuries is now more widely recognised in France, studies of the post-nineteenth-century period remain limited to a few specific contexts. Here, the author offers an overview for the Anglophone readers of modern and contemporary archaeology in France and argues that greater theorisation, cross-fertilisation with other archaeological traditions and a diversification of the range of themes considered might enhance recognition of this sub-discipline within and beyond France.
