“…For, as much as this recognition signals an end to the idea of the separation of humans and other-than-humans, it also embodies nostalgia for this same separation, a longing for a mode of existence that, in the words of my colleague Ben Dibley, "never was" (Dibley 2012:144). Nonetheless, as a concept that represents an increasing public and scientific recognition of connectivity ontologies that simultaneously embodies a warning and recognition of a moment of crisis, the Anthropocene seems an appropriate banner under which to reconsider the prospects for heritage within an expanded natural/cultural field of practice (see also Solli et al 2011). The deployment of the term within public discourse neatly embodies the sense of responsibility, attachment and working toward common futures (cf.…”

“…Rose and Robin 2004), I describe this way of understanding heritage in terms of "connectivity ontologies"-modalities of becoming in which life and place combine to bind time and living beings into generations of continuities that work collaboratively to keep the past alive in the present and for the future. Drawing on these alternative ways of understanding heritage, I suggest that rather than taking a social constructivist approach to heritage, as some (e.g., Smith 2006; but see Solli et al 2011) have done in turning away from the idea of heritage value as universal and inherent, we might instead see heritage as collaborative, dialogical and interactive, a materialdiscursive process in which past and future arise out of dialogue and encounter between multiple embodied subjects in (and with) the present.…”

“…More recent work (e.g., Waters et al 2014), has expanded the number of additional potential stratigraphic markers to include, among others, certain types of anthropogenic soils, the intensification of processes of anthroturbation, changes in reef system ecological functioning and signals, the globalization of biological transfers, and the radiogenic fallout from testing nuclear weapons. As awareness of the concept has grown, and as public and political concern over the future of our planet has stimulated an upscaling in the amount of research funding available for studying the causes, drivers and consequences of climate change, archaeologists have been increasingly drawn into debates over the concept of an Anthropocene and wider human-nature interactions (e.g., Solli 2011;Edgeworth 2014). Of course, climate change research in archaeology is not a new field-there is a long tradition of archaeologists exploring human-environment relationships from different theoretical perspectives and through the study and analysis of a broad range of material, biological and geochemical proxies (for reviews of this intellectual history, see e.g., Sandweiss and Kelley 2012;Davies and M'Mbogori 2013;Van de Noort 2013: 19-43).…”

“…For some archaeologists, the Anthropocene, conceived as a recent phenomenon, severs the necessary relationship between modernity and history (Solli et al 2011). That is, the intentional and unintentional human manipulation of environments at multiple scales, both temporally and spatially, are essential for creating habitable landscapes.…”
