 to this session entitled as you see archaeology and interdisciplinarity or and interdisciplinarity in archaeology stories of a long and diverse journey from the 19th century till nowadays we had at the beginning we had 17 papers and two posters unfortunately we have four different situations we had one cancellation in due time from a Bishnupriya bazaar from the University of Calcutta we should present her paper at 7 at 7.15 in the afternoon and then two absence but both sent their papers which we are going to see and to hear the first one is from Massimo Tarantini at 4.30 and the other one from let's see if I see it from editor from Vilnius Academy of Art got last minute change in the schedule as a few hours ago Ljubena Tevdowski informed us that from logistic issues they couldn't come to Barcelona and they even sent any PPT any paper to be read and present here so I presume we'll have a lot of time for the discussion slots especially for the last one in the evening since two of the absence are should present their papers precisely after the coffee break between 4 and 4.30 in the afternoon so saying this which I should inform that for personal reasons for professional due to professional several professional commitments Isabel or the RSDS couldn't come to Barcelona and to co-coordinate this session with me today and fortunately I will have the help of Laura Kultafan when it will be needed and it will be especially doing a not very nice role playing a not very nice role that is to show a paper when you will have five minutes last for speaking and two minutes and then a third paper the end okay this session emerged was organized within this project in terarch archeology and interdisciplinarity archeology archeological and historical research in history of archeology leaded by professor Margarita Diaz-Andreo and Andrea from Ikea everybody knows her very well especially after yesterday performance great performance and we would like if you allowed us we would like very much to dedicate this session to our colleague to our friend who was by the way a member of interarch project Enrique Gonzalez-Craviotto who passed away unfortunately some months ago and we really want to dedicate him this session well before we start your presentations some notes if you are using smartphone or camera please make sure that your device is set to silent and please if a speaker don't want his or her slides photographed respect that extended discussion will be carried out during our three discussion slots each speaker will be informed about their remaining five and two minutes if you're using social media like Twitter so please remember that make sure to use these hashtags and the one the specific one for our session and we'll have the lunch break between 1 and 2 o'clock and a coffee break between 4 and 4 30 very briefly during this introduction I just wanted we wanted to remind that rooted in scientific areas diverse as architecture archeologists firm during the 19th century through collaboration with our other disciplines on the other hand archaeology played a fundamental role in the establishment of the fields of for its instance conservation and restoration not only but also meanwhile it was contemplated in heritage policy and led legislation contributed to the production of knowledge developed in different supports including the tourism cultural tourism above all we are bringing together interests purpose and procedures defined by different actors archaeology has been evolving theoretically and methodologically due to new ways of looking at the past new ways that have been and are being generated by and together to other human social sciences as well as enhanced and urged by exact unnatural sciences so this session invites everybody to deal with topic such as archaeology and science's interdisciplinary reanalysis and reuses of the past archaeology heritage preservation and museums teaching archaeology archaeology journalists mass communication new platforms digital platforms platforms and social nuts archaeology cultural tourism and sustainable development in the interdisciplinary tears come to fill some gaps that high specialization has been causing in the second half of the 20th century one of the issues that we raised in this session and want to raise even more during the session is to see how much is true and if this has been true and to understand the possible mechanisms and future trends that are the disciplines are opening dramatically or not to archaeological activity and of course we couldn't forget the conference that keynote which was done by Christian Christiansen last year during the EAA at Maastricht a keynote that he entitled third science revolution in archaeology and he spoke a lot about the profit or non-profit of the third science revolution in what concerns archaeology and what sort of influences in academic authority discipline disciplinary power power and professional relations could cause a scientific lead practice and when we talk about interdisciplinarity are we really dealing with it or mostly of most of the times we are dealing with collaboration cooperation and or partnership or even with an official un-official unconscious and interdisciplinary these are some questions we would like very much to see
