Archaeology and chronology are closely linked, and often evolve in parallel. But what impact does chronology really have on the discipline? Should we consider archaeology to be limited to strict chronological boundaries? When and why do we say that we enter so-called archaeological periods? These are just some of the questions posed by the authors of this collective work. Academics, preventive archaeologists, various specialists, doctoral students, and professors of multiple nationalities contribute to this reflection, thus offering an aspect of current archaeological thinking and inviting the reader to reflect on the very definition of archaeology.
