Abstract

The term ‘public archaeology’ can mean many things. It can be as simple as a photocopied brochure left outside a fenced-off archaeological excavation or as complex as an elaborate series of educational programmes. For the purposes of this paper, the term ‘public archaeology’ is used to describe those projects and programmes designed to enhance popular knowledge of and appreciation for archaeology.
