A Pioneering Experiment: Dialoghi di Archeologia between Marxism and Political Activism

Francesco Iacono

doi:10.5334/bha.245

Abstract

The post-war politics of Italy had an impact on its archaeology and archaeological community. Some attempts at radicalisation were made via the journal Dialoghi di Archeologia, founded in 1967, with the aim of discussing problems and achieving changes within both academic and public archaeology. This paper traces the history of the journal and its legacy.
