Summary
In view of the enduring colonial and nationalist legacies that permeate current archaeological practice, we reflect here on ways to reimagine archaeology as decolonizing action. What is it in archaeology itself ‒ in its origins, in its methods, in the way archaeologists think and act ‒ that must be reimagined and redesigned?
