Presenting archaeology to young people

Steven Cracknell and Mike Corbishley (editors)

CBA Research Report No 64 (1986)

ISBN 0 906780 61 6


Abstract

Title page of report 64

Why should archaeology be presented to young people and how can it be? This book contains practical ideas, reports on work in progress, and analyses of the problems involved. It is aimed primarily at people working in archaeology, but it will also appeal to teachers who want to know what archaeologists can provide, and museum workers who often have to act as intermediaries between the two groups.

Most of the papers printed here were first given at a seminar organized by Warwickshire Museum in September 1985. A wide variety of approaches is represented, ranging from the 'traditional' site tour to the use of computers and videos, covering most of the methods currently being used to present archaeology to young people.
