Scrutinizing, in detail, the relationship between archaeology,
heritage and the public, this much-needed volume explores public
interest and participation in archaeology as a subject worthy of
academic attention in its own right.
Examining case studies from throughout the world; from North
America, Britain, Egypt and Brazil to East Africa, China and
beyond, Nick Merriman focuses on two key areas: communication and
interpretation, and stakeholders.
Constant reports of new discoveries, protests over the
destruction of sites and debates over the return of artefacts such
as the Elgin marbles or indigenous remains testify to an increasing
public interest in archaeology.
For students and scholars of this archaeology, and of its
relationship with the public, this will prove essential
reading.
