Archaeology in Antarctica delves into the rich history of archaeological exploration in the Antarctic and sub-Antarctic regions. This comprehensive book offers a comprehensive account of past archaeological endeavors in Antarctica, encompassing their utilization for conservation and research purposes. Drawing from a wide range of published, unpublished, and oral sources, it provides a detailed account of all archaeological work conducted in the region. The book explores various historical and scientific bases, including explorers' huts, whaling stations, and sealing shelters, shedding light on their significance and evolution.

A prominent focus of the research is the ongoing and long-term study of sealing shelters and sites in the South Shetland Islands. This work contributes to a better understanding of the impact of global modernity and empire on the Antarctic, challenging established narratives that portray human interaction with the continent as solely heroic. By highlighting the experiences of the sealers, a previously overlooked subaltern group, the archaeology provides a fresh perspective on the complexities of human relationships in this remote and challenging environment.

This book appeals to a wide audience, including students and researchers in archaeology, history, and heritage, as well as individuals with an interest in the human and historical aspects of Antarctica's past and present. It offers valuable insights into the region's cultural heritage, historical development, and the ongoing challenges and opportunities it faces.
