Bringing together leading academics and practitioners from across
the globe, this unique collection explores the emerging field of
heritage crime studies. Moving beyond the traditional focus on
illicit antiquities, the volume identifies the diversity of crimes
that affect heritage and outlines various approaches to prevention.
Critical Heritage Studies is a new and fast-growing
interdisciplinary field of study seeking to explore power relations
involved in the production and meaning-making of cultural heritage.

point of view to the scaled nature of heritage, and provides a
theoretical discussion on scale as a social construct and a method
in Critical Heritage Studies. The international contributors
provide examples and debates from a range of diverse countries,
discuss how heritage and scale interact in current processes of
heritage meaning-making, and explore heritage-scale relationship as
a domain of politics.

A groundbreaking examination of one of the most controversial
topics within modern archaeology. The invention of metal detecting
technology during the Second World War allowed the development of a
hobby that has traditionally been vilified by archaeologists as an
uncontrollable threat to the proper study of the past. This book
charts the relationship between archaeologists and metal detectors
over the past fifty odd years within an international context. It
questions whether the great majority of metal detectors need be
seen as a threat or, as some argue, enthusiastic members of the
public with a valid and legitimate interest in our shared heritage,
charting the expansion of metal detecting as a phenomenon and
examining its role within traditional archaeology. A particular
strength of the book is its detailed case studies, from South
Africa, the USA, Poland and Germany, where metal detectors have
worked with, and contributed significantly towards, archaeological
understanding and research. With contributions from key individuals
in both the metal detecting and archaeological communities, this
publication highlights the need for increased understanding and
cooperation and asks a number of questions crucial to the
development of a long term relationship between archaeologists and
metal detectors. PETER G. STONE is Head of the School of Arts and
Cultures and formerly Director of the International Centre for
Cultural and Heritage Studies at the University of Newcastle. He
has been interested in the public's role and interest in
archaeology for over twenty-five years and has published widely on
this topic, especially with respect to formal and informal
education. SUZIE THOMAS is lecturer in museum studies at the
University of Helsinki.
Archaeological heritage legislation aims to ensure the best
possible protection for the archaeological heritage, yet it remains
the case that legislation can remain ineffective through other
practical considerations. Some consideration may be legal or
procedural, such as difficulties in enforcing legislation or in
preventing crimes or damage or archaeological monuments. However
other problems may be less obvious and harder to address, and
require solutions which go much further than the simple application
of the law. The aim of this volume is to address several issues
surrounding the management of archaeological heritage comparing and
contrasting which laws 'work' and which ones do not, and ignoring
other issues which might effectively present the transplantation of
an 'ideal system' to another country or political climate. Or the
cultural attitudes which might prevent a law working in the legal
system for which it was designed. The contributions are from
various international jurisdictions and address a variety of
subjects - from the protection of archaeological monuments to
dealing with and controlling chance finds made by members of the
public.
An examination of the engagement of the general public with
archaeology worldwide. Across the world public archaeology, the way
in which it is understood as well as the way it is practised or
delivered, has many facets. In some countries it is not only
unknown, but is actively discouraged; in many other places it has
been embraced fully and is considered normal practice, whether this
appears in the form of so-called "community archaeology", active
school and college programmes, (re)thinking the strategies of
museums, or as simply encouraging on-site visits and demonstrations
during archaeological fieldwork. However, in a difficult economic
climate public archaeology is often adversely affected; funding
cuts can mean changes in priorities for heritage organisations and
local and national governments, and even to the loss of entire
projects. This volume examines the various facets of public
archaeology practice globally, and the factors which are currently
affecting it, together with the question of how different publics
and communities engage with their archaeological heritage. With
case studies from across the globe, ranging from Canada to
Turkmenistan and from Ireland to Argentina, it presents a
contemporarysnapshot of public participation in archaeology,
covering both successful initiatives and the threats posed to such
opportunities by local, regional and global changes. Particular
strands addressed are international models; archaeology and
education; archaeology and tourism; and site management and
conservation. Joanne Lea is an educator with the Trillium Lakelands
District School Board in Ontario, Canada. Suzie Thomas is
University Lecturer inMuseology at the University of Helsinki.
