Archaeology and the Media

edited by Timothy Clack and Marcus Brittain

Archaeology has long been in the media spotlight - as far back as 1955 the British TV personality of the year was Sir Mortimer Wheeler - and archaeologists are thus more accustomed to dealing with the media than other academics. This collection of essays looks at how the media have proved useful in drawing public attention to archaeological work, and how the media has shaped public perceptions of archaeology. The underlying theme of the essays is to ask what the implications of this media exposure are for archaeology as a discipline in the long term. 323p b/w illus (Left Coast Press 2007)
