Abstract:

 

Iberian and American contemporary states share a common history that has been extensively studied by historical archaeologists. However, the Atlantic Ocean can be regarded as a metaphor for the customary separation between those regions in this sub-field of archaeology. With this session we intend to critically examine recent social and theoretical trajectories of historical archaeology among Ibero-American archaeologies, to discuss its current endeavors and possible ways of international cooperation.
