| Summary: | When I was asked to provide a lead paper for this forum the title seemed so wide-ranging that it took a little while to decide how to approach it. After due consideration I decided to focus on what I feel is the key to better integration of archaeology into large scale projects. Simply put, the theme is perhaps analogous to earlier developments in archaeology. Archaeologists have long adopted technological solutions from other disciplines to find, record, and analyse deposits, and they have sought out social and anthropological theories to interpret their results. I am stressing here that in order to integrate archaeology successfully into complex mega-projects and to allow the discipline to grow in this environment, we should adopt and adapt again.
