One particular focus has been the archaeology of European settler societies, as distinguished from the archaeology of Indigenous inhabitants - although there is an overlap in the field of "contact archaeology" which covers the interaction between settlers and Indigenous societies. In Europe, the term Historical Archaeology is increasingly used to refer to Post-medieval Archaeology (circa AD 1450-present). In the United Kingdom Post-Medieval Archaeology traditionally refers to a period that ends c. 1750, but increasingly includes the 18th and 19th centuries. Some archaeologists, especially in the UK, have also begun to engage with archaeologies of the very recent past (20th and 21st century) and the "contemporary past" - leading to the emergence of the field of Contemporary Archaeology . Some refer to the study of the last 200 years as Industrial Archaeology . Notable historical archaeology sites in the United States
