Contemporary Archaeology, politics of memory and local communities: a tricky mixture?(Genova, November 28th-29th 2022).This special issue is the result of a workshop held at the University of Genoa in November 2022 and organized by the Laboratorio di Archeologia e Storia Ambientale (LASA) in the context of a project devoted to the archaeological transformation of the rural world during the late 19th and the 20th c. In the framework of post-medieval archaeologies, during the last two decades the study of the contemporary era emerged as an original field of research. Among the multiple topics tackled in the archaeological study of the contemporary era, the abovementioned relationship and its consequences for the archaeology of the contemporary era seemed a neglected topic and one which, we thought, deserved particular reflection.
