Such finds, usually discovered by hobbyist metal detectorists, have great potential to tell us about the character, state, and preservation of the mortuary environments from which they derive. Yet, unlike the situation regarding the discovery of human remains, the reporting of unstratified grave goods is not compulsory. This presents a strange paradox in view of contemporary theory in mortuary archaeology and practice in indigenous heritage overseas, where funerary objects are usually regarded as a fundamental aspect of the archaeological deceased, if not an inalienable part of it. At present, grave goods — whether found on the body or dislodged from it — are normally the property of the landowner and as such can be lawfully privately owned or traded on the antiquities market. This paper outlines the current ethical and legal status of unstratified grave goods sourced from England and Wales, and explores current trends in their discovery and subsequent sale on the antiquities market. Throughout the paper, consideration is given to the question as to whether mortuary-derived antiquities should be given some form of enhanced legal or ethical status; however, the discussion reveals a range of complexities that present significant challenges.","PeriodicalId":45023,"journal":{"name":"Public Archaeology","volume":"17 1","pages":"156 - 175"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2018-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/14655187.2019.1635408","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44500649","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Gould","doi":"10.1080/14655187.2019.1672035","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/14655187.2019.1672035","url":null,"abstract":"In the nearly five decades since McGimsey (1972) published Public Archaeology and gave a name to an emerging field of practice, archaeologists wrestling with practical, ethical, and legal imperatives have extended tremendously the domain of public archaeology. McGimsey’s vision was limited and essentially self-serving for the profession: educate the public so they will support us and, perhaps, provide volunteer labour. Two decades later, Schadla-Hall empowered archaeologists to search for the ‘public’ in virtually every element of their practice when he declared that public archaeology is ‘concerned with any area of archaeological activity that interacted or had the potential to interact with the public’ (Schadla-Hall, 1999: 147). By the late 2010s, public archaeology and its concerns have become the subject of university degrees and public mandates are embedded in laws, treaties, and the codes of ethics of professional bodies. Increasingly, public archaeology is begging for some organizing principles to position it in the broader (and itself broadening) discipline of archaeology. Not surprisingly, a cluster of books has emerged that, taken together, constitute first efforts to convert the arguably inchoate practice of public archaeology into a recognizable discipline. That is, to impose some boundaries on the discipline, to initiate development of theories of practice and accepted methodology, and to position public archaeology and its close cousin community archaeology within historical, ethical, and legal issues of concern to archaeologists generally. Merriman’s (2004) volume, also named Public Archaeology, was perhaps the first of these. In recent years, we have seen a growing number of efforts to theorize, codify, and define the boundaries, however broad, of public archaeology. Moshenska (2017; Moshenska & Dhanjal, 2012) has been a driver of this effort, albeit with a largely European focus. Okamura and Matsuda (2012) have extended the range of the discourse to other parts of the globe. Specialists have focused on practice in specific international contexts (e.g. Schmidt & Pikirayi, 2016) or areas of public contact such as educational practice (Bender&Messenger, 2019; Erdman, 2019). Specialized journals such as Public Archaeology, the Journal of Community Archaeology & Heritage, country-specific online public archaeology journals, and a host of specialist heritage publications have further extended the literature. Into this emerging genre, Isi̧lay Gürsu has introduced an intriguing highbred volume, part theoretical and historical overview, part case studies in three Mediterranean contexts (Turkey, Crete, and Italy). As do several of the recent books, this volume touches on the history of the public in archaeology, public archaeological education and engagement, looting and treasure seeking, human rights, the commoditization of heritage and its converse — the economic value of archaeological resources, and the practice of cultural heritage ma","PeriodicalId":45023,"journal":{"name":"Public Archaeology","volume":"17 1","pages":"214 - 216"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2018-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/14655187.2019.1672035","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42960370","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper considers the English and Italian systems, and in particular the consequences that legislation has on fostering or forbidding public participation, especially in relation to archaeological field research.

Analysing our performance in this regard will take time, but many of the ideas coming through can add extra weight to our efforts to meet the needs of our students under the present constraints. The obvious approach is to move to online teaching, but this is increasingly being met by student resistance – usually in the form of complaints that they are not getting their money’s worth. Some of the articles in this issue look at the application of technology, in particular contexts, but the initial clutch of articles is primarily concerned with learning in groups. Some of the articles deal with the facilitating technology but others predate the current concerns and reflect the wider approach to teaching and learning. This is a very international selection of papers, which hold the prospect of translating ideas from other parts of the world. The first article by Christopher Lange, Jamie Costley and Mik Fanguy is based on work in South Korea and looks at cognitive load. One of the key results was that better participation in group work led to better exam performance, at least in postgraduate students in STEM subjects. Implications also suggest the need for synchronous collaborative writing as a way of sharing ideas and knowledge to produce higher levels of individual understanding and quality writing. Following this is an article from Sara Arena and Julian Davies from the United States that, similarly, found a correlation between co-operative learning and student achievement. This study is based on first year Mechanical Engineering, but the results suggest that the benefits are not concept specific. The third paper, from Limerick in Ireland, looks at student perceptions of problembased learning. The context here is Masters-level study in Business. The suggestion is that the adoption of PBL goes beyond issues of teaching and learning to the development of professional attributes that could aid future advancement. An article from Iran by Fatemeh Keshmiri and colleagues, looks at inter-professional education, an area often identified with PBL but here using a case-study approach. The context is in professional education in the field of health: often a leader in collaborative learning and also an area where inter-professional collaboration is necessary in the workplace. Moving more towards the technology of collaboration is a paper from London-based Zeller Pimlott and Tricia Tikasingh, looking at the use of wikis. Results suggested that a wiki-based collaborative knowledge repository was valued by students above knowledge gained elsewhere online. A group of two articles examines issues around doctoral supervision. First, a paper from Magdalena Jara, from Coventry explores peer learning and case studies as elements in the professional development of supervisors, in the context of an evaluation of a programme for supervisors.

She is president of the Foundation of Friends of the Institute of Archaeology at the University of Warsaw, and has also served as expert evaluator of exhibitions at the Copernicus Science Centre in Warsaw. She leads multidisciplinary archaeological research of the ancient town of Akrai in Sicily (e.g. Chowaniec, 2015a; 2017a; 2018), which began as a series of non-destructive investigations but later developed into a complex research project involving excavations, landscape and environmental studies, digital information systems, and archaeometric research on various types of material culture. This research is focused on the role of Hellenistic towns within the Roman province of Sicily, landscape studies, and the reconstruction of daily life and human impact on the environment. Popularization of archaeology has a long lineage in Poland; however, it has been rather a one-way communication (from the discipline to the general public). However, increasing interest in the development of public archaeology (as an environment of mutual communication and public engagement) can be seen in the increasing number of published books, papers, and conferences dealing with this topic, as well as projects and events engaging local communities (for example, Chowaniec & Więckowski, 2012; Gancarski, 2012; Kajda & Kobiałka, 2018; Pawleta, 2010; 2018; Pisĺewska, 2015; Szlendak, et al., 2012; Zapłata, 2011). Roksana Chowaniec has participated in all of these endeavours. She has worked with archaeological heritage protection, education strategies, and engaged in the popularization of archaeological heritage, publishing several books and many papers within these domains (Chowaniec, 2010; 2011; 2012; 2013; 2015b; 2016; 2017b; Chowaniec & Wie ̨ckowski, 2012). She has participated in organizing open days, archaeological festivals, and other popularization events for the general public. However, she feels that public engagement is still underestimated by professional archaeologists and therefore also focuses her teaching activities on the role of archaeologists in public archaeology and on community engagement in archaeological heritage. Between 2015 and 2017, she was the Polish coordinator of the European project ‘Innovating Training Aims and Procedures for Public Archaeology’ (INNOVARCH) in the framework of the Erasmus public archaeology, Vol. 17 No. 4, November 2018, 207–213","PeriodicalId":45023,"journal":{"name":"Public Archaeology","volume":"17 1","pages":"207 - 213"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2018-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/14655187.2019.1635847","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48775816","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Being an exceptional site of enquiry where two institutions of the Indian state — the High Court of Allahabad and the Archaeological Survey of India — come together, the Ayodhya case allows us to complicate the uses and abuses of archaeology. An examination of the orders and documents related to the excavations and the judgment made by the Allahabad High Court shows the production of archaeological knowledge at Ayodhya as highly mediated. The paper argues that this process is determined by the notions shared by both the institutions about archaeology-as-science and about scientific/archaeological expertise, regulated at each stage through judicial interventions and informed by the role that the Archaeological Survey of India and the archaeology profession has played in the production of a nationalist past in India. The employment of archaeology as legal evidence in the Ayodhya case is contingent upon the masking of these mediating roles.","PeriodicalId":45023,"journal":{"name":"Public Archaeology","volume":"17 1","pages":"109 - 89"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2018-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/14655187.2019.1586059","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"59940074","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The people of this village share their landscape with archaeological remains of south India’s past, including Iron Age–Early Historic burials and medieval temples. As an archaeologist, having witnessed and been both an indirect and direct participant in the changing reactions, actions, and perceptions of the community towards these monuments, I use this paper to explore the implications we can draw from the interaction between archaeological landscapes and various actors, spanning a period of twelve years. In India, as in many other countries, archaeological landscapes, monuments, and objects face the possibility of alteration, conservation, preservation, or destruction. The factors involved in this, I argue, are specific to localized conscious and unconscious decision-making by people living around such archaeological sites. Delving deeper into these issues will help us understand these often seemingly inexplicable choices that imperil the continued presence of archaeological monuments in the contemporary landscape. The behind-the-scenes events that occur in the ‘field’ of archaeology often remain untold, and yet they hold a lot of information.
