Edition Details: Issue theme: Archaeology of the Anthropocene: Historical Archaeology’s Response to the Climate Crisis
The archaeology of plastic is many things at once: an environmental crisis, a growing impact on existing maritime and terrestrial archaeological resources, an advancement in material culture, and the foundation of future archaeological deposits. It is the shape of things as they are now and the shape of things to come. This article explores the intersection between the environmental crisis of unfettered plastic production and archaeology, with an eye toward understanding archaeology as a platform for activism and public outreach during the continuing climate crisis. It offers new paths forward for addressing plastic pollution in the discipline of archaeology as well as actions concerned citizens can take individually.
