Objects, materials and people (OMP)

Description

Objects, materials and people (OMP) are fundamental elements of archaeology. OMP explores the relationships between all three, investigating the lives of both people and things in the past.

OMP's research interests are cross-cultural, spanning the Palaeolithic to the present day to explore the theoretical concepts behind the meanings and value of materials and artefacts, the representation and display of objects in the contemporary world, and use scientific approaches to understand the production and deposition of objects, and taphonomic histories of material culture.

1. Cultural diversity and social identity
2. Object biography and networks
3. Displaying objects in the contemporary world
