Introducing this section, B Cunliffe (pp 192-4) warns that archaeologists must justify their discipline and present their work to a broader public in clear and interesting terms; there can be no model-building without fieldwork, no fieldwork without funds. Eric Peters (195-202) contributes a brief history of archaeological publishing, concentrating on books of the last thirty years. Jessica Mann's piece (203-7) is about crime fiction by or about dons. Archaeology and television is covered by Paul Jordan (207-13) discussing different forms of presentation. Derek Roe (214-20) looks at some amateurs' contributions to the study of British Palaeolithic material, while Warwick Bray (221-9) charts the progress of the general public's view of archaeology through cartoons and jokes since the 1840s, noting a serious 'comprehension gap' in recent decades.
