Industrial Archaeology vs. Industrial Heritage 

Anyone noticed how we are loosing industrial archaeology to the grab bag
term “heritage”? Any idea why? 

I seem to recall that when it was discovered that industrial archaeologists
were found to be doing history, archaeology, engineering etc it was deemed
that it must be “heritage “ rather than “archaeology” But don’t historical
archaeologist do much the same thing??

Is it important that we keep the term industrial archaeology?

Yours,
