Prehistoric #archaeology should engage more in public debates before other actors fill #societalmemory with outdated narratives, historicizing political propaganda or new myths. This is the conclusion drawn by environmental ethicist Konrad Ott #UniKiel in his publication "Epistomology, Economics, and Ethics. A Practical Philosophy of Prehistoric Archaeology". It has now been published as Volume 4 of #ROOTSStudies: https://www.uni-kiel.de/en/cluster-roots/details/news/2024-01-30-roots-studies-4-epistomology

The question of how human-environmental #connectivities shaped fundamental processes in #pastsocieties is the focus of research within the #ClusterROOTS. Now, a new book titled "Connectivity Matters!" has been published in the #ROOTSstudies series. It addresses the concept of connectivities in the human past, but also the importance of this concept for research in this field.
