Description
What is Public Archaeology? All and nothing. This book follows a broad definition of the term: as the study of the multiple relations between archaeology and society, as well as their consequences. Politics, economy, culture… everything sums in a social context in which archaeology plays fundamental role. In twenty five essays, the authors of this volume will analyse the concept of public archaeology and its different contexts of appliance, the relations forged when engaging with communities, and the use of new technologies for the management and divulgation of archaeological heritage. This is a book that does not pretend to be a handbook, but covers the current panorama of public archaeology in Spain. What we understand today as public archaeology has been ongoing for a long time. This book also tries to highlight the role of Spanish archaeologists in the development of this discipline. SPANISH DESCRIPTION: ¿Qué es la arqueología pública? Todo y nada.
