当代过去的考古学正在成为该学科的一个重要分支，不仅对考古学家，而且对社会科学家和艺术家都很有吸引力。从第一次世界大战开始的这段时期，在这里被称为“超现代性”，其特点是对人和物的破坏越来越大，考古遗址（如战场、工业废墟、乱葬坑和集中营）的激增。这一时期的批判考古学的使命不仅是讲述不同的故事，而且要揭示超现代的权力机器不希望被展示的东西。为此，我们需要发展一种新的考古修辞，更加关注我们生活的世界的物质性，在不牺牲客观性的情况下接受政治承诺。
The archaeology of the contemporary past is becoming an important subfield within the discipline and one attractive not only to archaeologists but to social scientists and artists. The period that started with World War I, here identified as “supermodernity,” has been characterized by increasing devastation of both humans and things and the proliferation of archaeological sites, such as battlefields, industrial ruins, mass graves, and concentration camps. The mission of a critical archaeology of this period is not only telling alternative stories but also unveiling what the supermodern power machine does not want to be shown. For this we need to develop a new kind of archaeological rhetoric, pay closer attention to the materiality of the world in which we live, and embrace political commitment without sacrificing objectivity.
