The archaeology and heritage of the subaltern

This project explores the living conditions and heritage of subalterns c 1700-1900  from an environmental justice perspective. The project will contribute new knowledge of history, the people and their material culture  for the benefit of history writing and heritage management. The project aims to contribute ‘best practice’ examples to cultural resource management and to highlight remnants of previously marginalised and neglected groups.

The project is a cooperation between the Archaeologists of the National Historical Museums (project owners), Department of Archaeology and Ancient History, Lund University, and Centre for Regional Studies, CRS, Karlstad University.
