Apologies for cross-posting! *Information Research: an international electronic journal* *Special issue:* "Archaeology and information research" *Deadline:* June 30, 2018 Archaeology is a domain that has intersections with information research both as an empirical domain of investigation and as a perspective to inquire into how people interact with information. The relevance of discussing the links between the disciplines of information and archaeology relates to the increasing societal significance of cultural heritage around the globe. In archaeology, improved understanding of archaeological information work, knowledge creation and management processes has been acknowledged as being critical in managing and exploiting the escalating amounts of archaeological data from archaeological excavations conducted prior to land-use around the world. From a theoretical and practical perspective, archaeology brings together methodological perspectives ranging from the humanities to the natural sciences, and serves as an interesting showcase of the problems, challenges and opportunities related to inter- and multi-disciplinary domains of information practices. Finally, similar to multiple areas of humanities and social science research, archaeology has provided inspiration and functioned as a powerful metaphor in critical research in the information field. *Editors* Isto Huvila (Uppsala University), Marija Dalbello (Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey), Costis Dallas (University of Toronto), Ixchel M.
