拟议的《全球历史考古手册》旨在为读者提供对迅速发展的、世界范围内的历史考古领域的最新介绍。虽然这一领域曾经局限于美国(主要是作为人类学的追求)和英国(通常作为一项历史工作，称为“后中世纪考古学”)，但今天的历史考古学家生活和进行重要研究的地方只有20年前做梦的地方。鉴于该学科不断发展的性质，本手册的撰稿人将集中讨论自2006年以来取得的考古成就。传统上，该领域的定义有两种：一种是考古和历史资料的方法论结合，另一种是对公元1500年后世界的考古分析。这两个定义之间一直存在着矛盾，但大多数实践历史考古学家都是根据第二个定义来理解历史考古学的。根据第一种定义进行研究的考古学家通常将自己定义为中美洲、埃及或古典考古学家，而不是历史考古学家本身。因此，这本手册使用了第二种定义，并不打算描述早期历史时期的研究。在任何情况下，包括来自更广泛定义的信息都会使卷的大小翻一番。对手册有贡献的作者将探索由当今实践者提出的开创性主题，包括新方法、学科历史、核心理论和关键研究的具体例子。拟议手册的目标读者是考古学、人类学、历史学、历史保护和地理专业的本科生、研究生和成熟学生，以及对历史和历史考古学感兴趣的普通公众。该手册将是了解该领域当前的理论趋势、主题方向以及在21世纪头几年发现和发掘的最重要遗址的重要资料。这门学科的发展意味着世界各地的读者会发现这本手册很有用。历史考古学家现在在南美洲和中美洲、澳大利亚和新西兰、太平洋和印度洋、印度和东南亚、非洲以及西欧、中欧和东欧进行教学和研究。历史考古学家甚至在南极洲进行了研究。鉴于水下/海洋考古的复杂性和广泛性，这一主题在拟议的卷中只有一个章节。将需要一本单独的手册来深入讨论这一主题。
The proposed Handbook of Global Historical Archaeology is designed to offer readers an up-to-date introduction to the rapidly growing, worldwide field of historical archaeology. Whereas the field was once restricted to the United States (largely as an anthropological pursuit) and Great Britain (generally as a historical endeavor called ‘post-medieval archaeology’), today’s historical archaeologists live and conduct important research in places only dreamt of twenty years ago. Given the ever-developing nature of the discipline, the contributors to this handbook will concentrate most of their discussions on archaeological achievements made since about 2006. The field has traditionally been defined in two ways: as the methodological combination of archaeological and historical sources, and as the archaeological analysis of the post-1500 CE world. Tension has always existed between the two definitions, but most practicing historical archaeologists understand historical archaeology in terms of the second definition. Archaeologists pursuing research under the first definition usually self-define as Mesoamerican, Egyptian, or classical archaeologists rather than as historical archaeologists per se. As such, this handbook uses the second definition and does not intend to describe research in earlier historical epochs. In any case, including information from the broader definition would double the size of the volume. The authors contributing to the handbook will explore the seminal topics posed by today’s practitioners, including new methods, disciplinary histories, core theories, and specific examples of key research. The target audience for the proposed handbook are undergraduate, post-graduate, and mature students of archaeology, anthropology, history, historical preservation, and geography, as well as members of the general public who have an interest in history and historical archaeology. The handbook will be an important resource for learning about the current theoretical trends of the field, its thematic directions, and the most important sites discovered and excavated during the first years of the twenty-first century. The growth of the discipline means that readers throughout the world will find the handbook useful. Historical archaeologists now teach and conduct research throughout South and Central America, in Australia and New Zealand, the Pacific and Indian Oceans, in India and Southeast Asia, Africa, and in Western, Central, and Eastern Europe. Historical archaeologists have even conducted research in Antarctica. Given the complexity and breadth of underwater/maritime archaeology, this subject is accorded only one chapter in the proposed volume. A separate handbook would be required to cover that subject in depth.
