This chapter covers environmental pollution. It focuses on plastics but other topics are also addressed, such as nuclear waste. Here archaeology is presented more in terms of its methods and the opportunities these methods provide for public engagement, creating the possibility of both cleaning up existing pollution while also influencing people’s perceptions and behaviours in order to reduce future impacts. The chapter then presents plastic pollution as a wicked problem, before proceeding to the example of current fieldwork in Galápagos, where plastics are being addressed as material culture in order to better understand its sources. It also describes recent work undertaken on COVID waste and the benefits of undertaking citizen-science work. A section on nuclear waste and environmental ruin in the American Midwest follows. The chapter discusses the benefits of small wins, emphasizing also the advantages of archaeology forming part of multi- and transdisciplinary collaborations.
