DESCRIPTION:Stepping beyond the debate over whether post-Soviet equals to 
 post-colonial\, one can observe strong traces of influence of Soviet perio
 d tendencies in the practice of archaeology in Central Asia. From institut
 ional hierarchies to methods of archaeological investigation and heritage 
 management\, the developments in a macro level over the last decade or so 
 can be interpreted\, depending on the overarching political discourse in r
 espective independent state in the region\, as perpetuation of\, or a reac
 tion to a Soviet period practice of research and education. Interestingly\
 , the cases of reaction that manifest themselves in structural changes and
  substantial alterations of approach very often result in predictable chal
 lenges that are very familiar from the context of ‘decolonisation’ els
 ewhere. Through discussions of funding\, publications and ethics\, this pa
 per will attempt to relate trends in the region to the concept of Decoloni
 sing Archaeology and suggest possible ways forward.  \n\nPlease join us on
