Description: Wicked Problems are those problems facing the planet and its inhabitants present and future which are hard (if not impossible) to resolve and for which bold creative and messy solutions are typically required. The adjective 'wicked describes the mischievous and even evil quality of these problems where proposed solutions often turn out to be worse than the symptoms. This wide - ranging and innovative book encourages readers to think about archaeology in an entirely new way as fresh relevant and future - oriented. It examines some of the novel ways that archaeology (alongside cultural heritage practice) can contribute to resolving some of the world's most wicked problems or global challenges as they are sometimes known. With chapters covering climate change environmental pollution health and wellbeing social injustice and conflict the book uses many and diverse examples to explain how through studying the past and present through an archaeological lens in ways that are creative ambitious and both inter - and transdisciplinary significant 'small wins can be achieved. Through these small wins archaeologists can help to mitigate some of those most pressing of wicked problems contributing therefore to a safer healthier and more stable world.
