  3. I use the plural deliberately, for what is normally related are the lives and careers of a few great men (q.v. Daniel and Chippindale 1989). Apart from Jacquetta Hawkes, Kathleen Kenyon, and a few other well known figures, the majority of women from archaeology's 'Golden Age' are largely invisible in the literature, despite the fact that the great men themselves often depended on the work of wives or female assistants on their projects. (For one recent exception to this, though, see Allesbrook and Allesbrook. 1992. Born To Rebel. The Life Of Harriet Boyd Hawes. Oxford: Oxbow Books.). The biographies and histories of the numerous workers who laboured on these projects are similarly obscured.

  9. At least this will always be the case for the written record anyway. Computer graphics may be a means to explore further representational possibilities (see Alvey 1993; Forte and Siliotti 1997; Hodder 1997).
