Résumé : This entry considers the origins, development, applications and main elements of Archaeological Ethnography, a trans-disciplinary and trans-cultural field concerned with the multiple and conflicting meanings of archaeological heritage. Seeking to establish new ethical frameworks in archaeological research, this discipline applies an ethnographic approach characterized by being critically reflexive, politically sensitive, multi-sited and multi-temporal. The intention of this entry is to analyze how Archaeological Ethnographies have been conducted in multiple contexts and to present this field as a space of interactions, conversations and interventions between different disciplines and different groups. I argue that Archaeological Ethnographies are essential for the future of the archaeological practice.
