| Reflecting the conference theme of archaeology from below, this session brings together papers about the unvoiced. The unvoiced are people who are written about by others but left no detailed written record themselves, and those considered to be on the margins of society. These include those who were institutionalised such as insane, the destitute and prisoners, along with groups such as convicts, women, and the urban and rural poor. This session's papers will look at how we can recreate their lives through archaeology and history, and can also address the question of how we engage local communities in their own histories where these groups or institutions were present.
