Abstract
Preventive archaeology has been established as one of the most important fields within archaeology, representing about 90% of activities and data production. This new professional field has fostered the overall growth of archaeology, whose opening to the markets has brought several problems and new opportunities, as discussed throughout this entry. Selected trajectories of preventive archaeology are reviewed over three decades to identify the main contributions of this field, as well as key topics of discussion and criticism. The analysis is conducted considering its development in different geographical contexts, specifically between the northern hemisphere (Europe and Anglo-Saxon North America) and Latin America.
