Abstract
The abstract describing the content of the publication or report
Abstract:
The article investigates the relationship between accounts of stratigraphic evidence and the publication of the associated artefacts and ecofacts, and suggests that it results from the combination of two separate intellectual traditions in the late-nineteenth century. It also identifies certain widely shared proportions between the separate components of excavation monographs published over a long period of time. Their existence has never been acknowledged. It is argued that the excavation report has become a well-established literary genre and that authors who are familiar with such texts unconsciously reproduce the same structures in their writing.
