Museums and Archaeology brings together a wide, but carefully
chosen, selection of literature from around the world that connects
museums and archaeology. Part of the successful Leicester Readers
in Museum Studies series, it provides a combination of issue- and
practice-based perspectives. As such, it is a volume not only for
students and researchers from a range of disciplines interested in
museum, gallery and heritage studies, including public archaeology
and cultural resource management (CRM), but also the wide range of
professionals and volunteers in the museum and heritage sector who
work with archaeological collections. The volume's balance of
theory and practice and its thematic and geographical breadth is
explored and explained in an extended introduction, which situates
the readings in the context of the extensive literature on museum
archaeology, highlighting the many tensions that exist between
idealistic 'principles' and real-life 'practice' and the debates
that surround these. In addition to this, section introductions and
the seminal pieces themselves provide a comprehensive and
contextualised resource on the interplay of museums and
archaeology.
