The Archaeology of the Future

The Archaeology of the Future is a field that explores how future societies might leave behind artifacts, ruins, or digital traces, and how archaeologists can interpret these to understand future cultures. It considers current technological trends and environmental changes to imagine what future remnants—like advanced devices or altered landscapes—could reveal about our time. This approach helps us reflect on the long-term impact of today's choices and the potential legacy we leave behind, blending archaeology with speculative thought to study the possible archaeology of tomorrow.
