Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
The sense of excitement and personal involvement of the 18th and early 19th century archaeological writers contrasts markedly with the dry, impersonal, careful, collectively written, feature-centred pieces which reflect today's standardized codes and procedures. The transition is attributable to the development of archaeology as a science, together with legislation and funding methods which put the archaeological past into public hands. But the impersonal style has outlived its usefulness: we need to know more about how conclusions were reached, and a more narrative style would be both more honest and more readable. The 18th century ideal can be worked out in a modern way. | |||||
