Abstract

The book collects the papers presented at the 2018 Paris Congress in three sessions about the history of archaeology. The first session, From stratigraphy to stratigraphic excavation in pre- and protohistoric archaeology organized by Massimo Tarantini and Alessandro Guidi, concerns a sort of review of the development of stratigraphical methods in archaeology in many European countries. The second session, Epistemology, History and Philosophy of Science: Interdisciplinary Perspectives on the History of Archaeology, organized by Sophie A. de Beaune and Oscar Moro Abadia is characterized by different examples of intersections between archaeology and other disciplines like history and philosophy of science. Finally, we collected four papers dedicated to the development of different types of interdisciplinarity in Europe and South America presented in the third session, Archaeology and interdisciplinarity, from the 19th century to present-day research, organized by Laura Coltofean, Géraldine. Delley, Margarita Díaz-Andreu and Marc-Antoine Kaeser.
