Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
This article discusses some of the factors that can lead to archaeological ideas and discoveries being covered on television news and in the press. Whilst archaeology is a tremendously popular subject, as evidenced by the large audiences for television series such as Time Team and Meet the Ancestors, a great deal of archaeology goes on that is never reported. For a discovery to become a news story, it needs to have a context that people can relate to -- stories about brewing beer in the Neolithic and the possible Mesolithic use of birch bark tar and pine resin as chewing gum have recently achieved wide coverage, for example. However, discoveries that capture the public imagination are the most powerful; an example is the recent discovery of an upturned oak tree within a timber circle on the north Norfolk coast.
