| Summary: | Heritage, memory, community archaeology and the politics of the past form the main strands running through the papers in this volume. The authors tackle these subjects from a range of different philosophical perspectives, with many drawing on the experience of recent community, commercial and other projects. Throughout, there is a strong emphasis on both the philosophy of engagement and with its enactment in specific contexts; the essays deal with an interest in the meaning, value and contested nature of the recent past and in the theory and practice of archaeological engagements with that past Introduction: archaeologists, power and the recent past / Chris Dalglish -- Open-air museums, authenticity and the shaping of cultural identity: an example from the Isle of Man / Catriona Mackie -- Loyal yet independent: archaeological perspectives on remembering and forgetting World War I on the Isle of Man / Harold Mytum -- Public engagement at Prestongrange: reflections on a community project / Melanie Johnson & Biddy Simpson -- Archaeology for all: managing expectations and learning from the past for the future: the Dig Manchester community archaeology experience / Michael Nevell -- Rediscovering, preserving and making memories at community archaeology projects / Robert Isherwood -- Politics, publics and professional pragmatics: re-envisioning archaeological practice in Northern Ireland / Audrey Horning -- Archaeology, politics and politicians, or: Small p in a big P world / James Dixon -- 'No certain roof but the coffin lid': exploring the commercial and academic need for a high level research framework to safeguard the future of the post-medieval burial resource / Natasha Powers, Andrew Wilson, Janet Montgomery, David Bowsher, Terry Brown, Julia Beaumont and Robert C.
