The Forgotten ones. Small narratives and modern landscapes.
Anna Lihammer
I de stora berättelserna om historien möter vi det moderna samhällets framgångssaga – teknisk utveckling, vetenskap och demokrati. Men många grupper finns inte med i dessa berättelser, människor som av olika anledningar är stigmatiserade, demoniserade, hemliga eller helt enkelt glömda.
Men även om många grupper är mer eller mindre osynliga i de historiska berättelserna, så finns de materiella spåren efter deras liv kvar.
The Forgotten ones undersöker och analyserar det arkeologiska materialet från några mer eller mindre osynliga grupper i den svenska historien och visar hur arkeologin kan förändra de historiska berättelserna. Boken berättar om slummens invånare, resandefolket, människor som internerades i läger under andra världskriget, de landlösa på landsbygden samt människor som institutionaliserades på sinnessjukhus.
Boken är skriven på engelska.
The Forgotten ones. Small narratives and modern landscapes.
The master narratives of history tell the success saga of modern society, characterized by technological development, science and democracy.
Beyond that, many groups are virtually excluded from these master narratives of history, people who for various reasons were stigmatized, demonized, secret or simply forgotten, in life as in history.
The Forgotten ones aims to investigate and analyse the archaeological material of some more or less invisible groups and focus on the potential to change standard historical narratives that are inherent in the material record. This includes, for example, the material remains of people who lived in the slum areas of Swedish cities at the time of the industrial revolution, groups made into social others and stigmatized by mainstream society, such as the Travellers, and the invisible people of the post-medieval agrarian society, such as the lowest-ranking agricultural labourers of the smallest crofts.

Communicate the Past. Ways to present archaeology to the public.
Anna Arnberg & Tove Stjärna (Eds.)
In “Communicate the Past” the relationship between professional archaeology and the public is in focus. The book consists of nine papers written by archaeologists from different part of Europe and sets out to be an arena of inspiration for archaeologists working within different sectors of archaeology.
By sharing experiences from a wide range of fields, such as exhibitions, archaeological festivals, Internet-based databanks and community archaeology projects, the authors give examples on how archeology can address different target groups and work within different parts of society.

Communicate the Past. Ways to present archaeology to the public.
Anna Arnberg & Tove Stjärna (Red.)
I ”Communicate the Past” står den professionella arkeologins relation till allmänheten i fokus. Publikationen består av nio artiklar skrivna av arkeologer från olika delar av Europa och riktar sig främst till yrkesverksamma arkeologer.
Genom att dela med sig av sina erfarenheter från bl.a. museiutställningar, arkeologiska festivaler, Internet-baserade databaser och community archaeology ger författarna exempel på hur arkeologin kan nå olika målgrupper och arbeta mot olika delar av samhället.
Boken är skriven på engelska.
