- Summary:
- The 15 papers are from the 2006 conference Archaeology in the Community hosted by the archaeology department at University College London. A few common threads weave through everyone's definitions of community archaeology, among them cooperation between professional and non-professional archaeologists, and the belief that archaeology does not have to take place in private between consenting companies. Among the topics are conceptual and political issues, early approaches to the metal detecting community by archaeologists and others, The Stanwell Mothers Project reaching archaeologists and communities, using archaeology as alternative education, and a case study of the Shoreditch Park Community Excavation. The proceedings are not indexed. Distributed in North America by The David Brown Book Co. Annotation ©2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
