Yet little is known of the earliest broadcasts owing to both the fragmentary archival record and the longstanding hype surrounding later archaeology TV productions. This article examines two of the first such shows, likely the earliest in the English-speaking world for which records survive, focused on the British Iron Age site of Maiden Castle and on the reconstruction of prehistoric pottery. While noting the role of Mortimer Wheeler in their development, I also highlight several key women who produced the programmes, starred in them, and otherwise held critical posts in the establishment of professional archaeological practice in Britain, including Margot Eates, Ione Gedye, and Delia Parker — all based at London's Institute of Archaeology (IoA). These BBC TV broadcasts were specifically deployed to showcase the sites and methods of the burgeoning discipline of archaeology. More importantly, however, they were subtle players in the building of intellectual and institutional capital for both the IoA and the BBC. Augmented by other graphic media produced by the IoA itself, the earliest televised archaeology shows generated income, exposure, capacity, and clout for these two very different but pioneering organizations.","PeriodicalId":45023,"journal":{"name":"Public Archaeology","volume":"16 1","pages":"18 - 3"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2017-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/14655187.2017.1283932","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41667712","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}

Sara Perry’s paper describes early efforts of public engagement at the Institute of Archaeology in London during the 1930s, and in particular highlights the role of several women in these endeavours. The value of the paper is both its fascinating glimpse of how the presentation of archaeological methods was adapted for the new technological medium of television, but moreover the way in which it reinserts the contribution of women into this particular history, one that is often overpowered by the magnetic persona of Sir Mortimer Wheeler. This work falls into a wider contemporary discourse that emphasizes the role of women in the history of archaeology; work that is occurring in academic terms to restate particular legacies (e.g. Carr, 2012; Thornton, 2011) and also in creative forms such as the #RaisingHorizons project by Trowelblazers (2018), which includes a touring exhibition of photographs of fourteen women working in archaeology and associated sciences today, posing as their historical counterparts. In the second paper, Caroline Pudney provides an account of an archaeology outreach project at a Young Offenders Institution inWales. This is the first of two linked articles by the author — the second will be published in the subsequent issue (16.2) — which considers the benefits that encounters with archaeology and heritage can bring to a cohort of young men, both in terms of practical skills gained through working with archaeological material but also the sense of pride that learning about the historic environment can foster. Such experiences, it is hoped, could contribute to a reduction in reoffending rates, and the paper contributes to a broadening of the literature on the social utility of archaeology in general (e.g. Little & Shackel, 2014) and the issue of heritage crime in particular (Grove, 2013). A key element of Pudney’s paper is in emphasizing the importance of the specialist researcher in directing and managing projects, and evaluating their core value. There is an increasing tendency, both in public archaeology and other humanistic disciplines, to attempt to capture the value of projects using hard data and robust statistical evidence; a position that has been strongly advocated for by the editors of this journal. Pudney’s article reminds us that such approaches, particularly for projects in sensitive social environments (including hospitals and prisons) may not always be the most appropriate evaluative method, and that in some circumstances it is important to recognize the expertise of the academic conducting the project in question, and to trust in their ability to be reflexive, adaptive, and to mediate the intrinsic value of particular interventions. public archaeology, Vol. 16 No. 1, February 2017, 1–2","PeriodicalId":45023,"journal":{"name":"Public Archaeology","volume":"16 1","pages":"1 - 2"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2017-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/14655187.2017.1472405","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48911749","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}

Challenging these critiques, this article explores how archaeology can be socially beneficial in the rehabilitation of offenders.

The article challenges the concept of ‘archaeologist-as-social-worker’ and considers the successes and limitations of such an approach, including the challenges of measuring impact. Ultimately, it demonstrates that archaeology-based activities can provide positive life experiences for offenders, but only through a successful partnership between heritage and offender management specialists, as part of a wider programme of support and intervention.","PeriodicalId":45023,"journal":{"name":"Public Archaeology","volume":"16 1","pages":"19 - 41"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2017-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/14655187.2017.1411142","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44707673","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 study is based on a questionnaire survey of amateur metal detectorists and professional Finnish archaeologists, and their attitudes towards each other. We combine a statistical examination of the structure and attitudes of the amateur detectorist community with an analysis of the discourse used to define and describe the hobby. In Finland, during the last decade, amateurs have become established as a heritage community with their own opinions, internal discussions, and forms of cohesion, and have attempted to become organized into societies. Examining the practice of detecting through the formation of heritage identities has crucial implications for how the challenges posed by metal detectorists are understood. Archaeologists should not just disseminate information on legislation and the scholarly requirements of archaeological material, but instead endeavour to make cultural heritage more broadly meaningful for a wider audience.","PeriodicalId":45023,"journal":{"name":"Public Archaeology","volume":"15 1","pages":"163 - 185"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2016-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/14655187.2017.1352188","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"59939941","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}

{"title":"Metal Detecting in Focus Again — A Response to Immonen and Kinnunen, Winkley, Hardy, and Rogerson","authors":"Suzie Thomas","doi":"10.1080/14655187.2016.1429786","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/14655187.2016.1429786","url":null,"abstract":"The current collection in Public Archaeology is by no means the first time a journal or other academic publication has chosen to focus on the issue of metal detecting and its impact on archaeology (consider, for example, Campbell & Thomas, 2013; Thomas & Stone, 2009; or Pitblado & Shott, 2015 for a wider overview of non-professional engagements with material culture, not only metal detecting). However, the revisiting or, indeed, broadening of the range of debate is welcome. In this collection of papers, we see not only an assortment of (European and Eurasian) geographic locations presented — each with their relative and different challenges, but we also see a diverse range of research methods and approaches discussed and tested. Hence in this collection we learn of the results from questionnaire surveys of different interest groups, the ‘go-along’ ethnographic method applied to metal detectorists, analysis of online open data, and a historical study utilizing the literature and archival sources. Visa Immonen and Joonas Kinnunen contribute by shedding further light on the situation in Finland. The research they carried out, in 2014, was significant for being the first such survey carried out in the country. They suggest that their research, although primarily collecting data through questionnaire survey — which they acknowledge did not allow for accessing ‘such complex phenomena as emotions’ — has nonetheless built upon previous ethnographically framed research (my own doctoral research included). Their study of metal detectorists has indeed provided new dimensions to our understanding of the hobbyists themselves. It also brings this and similar research previously published in Finnish (Immonen & Kinnunen, 2014; Siltainsuu & Wessman, 2014) to a more international readership, and helps to share more widely the Finnish experience. The issue of how to expand our ethnographic understandings of metal-detectorist communities is taken even further and tackled head-on by Felicity Winkley, inspired by her recent doctoral research in England. The ‘go-along’ method is a fruitful approach gaining popularity among ethnologists and others in a range of settings (e.g. Suopajärvi, 2014), and it is extremely encouraging to see this method applied public archaeology, Vol. 15 No. 4, November 2016, 245–248","PeriodicalId":45023,"journal":{"name":"Public Archaeology","volume":"15 1","pages":"245 - 248"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2016-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/14655187.2016.1429786","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"59939855","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 presents open-source analysis of membership of online forums and social networks, as well as other empirical indicators, such as sales and ownership of metal detectors. It identifies and contradicts speculation and propaganda from archaeologists and detectorists, then offers empirical evidence in their place. It suggests the activity of at least 14,910 illicit detectorists in Belarus (around 1 in 638 residents), 54,066 illicit detectorists in Poland (around 1 in 702 residents), 26,377 illicit detectorists in Ukraine (around 1 in 1706 residents) and 75,158 illicit detectorists in Russia (around 1 in 1921 residents).

The background of the study will be discussed before the go-along methodology and coding structure are presented in detail. An in-depth analysis of the interview data will follow, presented by theme, in order to demonstrate that the detectorists’ attitudes to landscape exceed what might be conjured by traditional preconceptions of the hobbyists as treasure hunters, and instead comprise a complex set of attitudes, motivations, and attachments. Finally, the efficacy of the methodology will be evaluated along with its potential transference for future research.","PeriodicalId":45023,"journal":{"name":"Public Archaeology","volume":"15 1","pages":"186 - 213"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2016-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/14655187.2017.1359914","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"59939976","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}
