A future of archaeology

Abstract

As archaeologists we look to the past, but where might archaeology be going in the future? In this issue ofAntiquitywe begin a new feature where we invite archaeologists from different parts of the world to consider how the subject may or should develop in the coming years. For the first of these, Koji Mizoguchi, President of the World Archaeological Congress and Professor at Kyushu University in Japan, offers a perspective on the regional traditions of archaeology within an increasingly globalised world.
