Time to Destroy: An Archaeology of Supermodernity
Abstract
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.

Archaeologists examining the last several hundred years are able to be engaged with those pasts which many living communities see as their own pasts, allowing the affective force of materiality and the presence of archaeology to enable dialogue about the past as it seems to rupture the present through the fact of being here with us.
“Archaeologists examining the last several hundred years are also able to be engaged with those pasts which many living communities see as their own pasts, allowing the affective force of materiality and the presence of archaeology to enable us to dialogue about the past as it seems to rupture the present through the fact of being here with us (González-Ruibal 2008).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
