Session Details
\nProcesses of diaspora have profound implications for the creation and maintenance of social identity and a sense of community, as people on the move and those amongst whom they are moving strive to maintain their sense of themselves while all about them is changing. This session will examine questions of identity and community in seemingly divergent cases of diaspora to identify commonalities as well as differences in the ways archaeologists approach such phenomena. In addition to the classic case of the trans-Atlantic African diaspora, which tends to dominate recent archaeological consideration of the issues in question, speakers will address the historical Chinese and British diasporas, the Neolithic settlement of north-central Europe (LBK) and ‘enclave colonization’ of the Iberian Peninsula, and the ‘neolithic’ Lapita colonization of the southwest Pacific as well as the Phoenicians and Greeks in the Mediterranean and Romans in Britain.

Session Details
\nThe last fifteen years has seen a growth in the amount of archaeological research directed towards issues of the African Diaspora and thus to the archaeology of slavery. This has been concomitant with increasing pressure from many directions to encourage heritage sites and museums to present issues relating to slavery to the public. Whilst many heritage sites still ignore the issue of slavery, some sites have embarked on archaeological programmes which have influenced interpretation programmes dealing with slavery. As a result, now would seem as appropriate time to share experiences, assess the quality of the relationship between the archaeology and the presentations, and to discuss the range of future directions that the presentation of archaeology of slavery is going in.<\/p>\n
