ABSTRACT

This chapter examines changes to the way cultural heritage is perceived and understood, by practitioners and society at large. It reviews some ethical issues. The chapter discusses archaeology, and one recurring theme was the similarities between survival strategies of contemporary homeless and earlier hunter-gatherer societies, in terms of food gathering, social cohesion and compassion, and in the locations chosen for settlement in Bristol. It focuses on Turbo Island, a tract of private land on Stokes Croft, occupied by an advertising hoarding and identified by homeless people as a meeting place. Archaeology has a broad base, and offers a range of intellectual possibilities. Its close attention to material culture and place, embraces the full range of human experiences, and is inclusive of everyone in society. Contextualizing the way in which homelessness fits into the wider story of how Bristol developed has been instrumental in forging links between homeless and non-homeless people, at least for some people.
