Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
The article discusses the threefold increase in the broadcasting of archaeological documentaries between 1998 and 2002, which was associated with image rebranding by certain TV channels at a time of increased competition. An analysis of the locations, time periods, subjects and styles of presentation of 590 of the 650 archaeological programmes transmitted during these years indicates that the archaeology that was being presented was largely UK-based, but wide-ranging in periods and subject matter, and that the formats most used were ones that focused on the process of archaeological work. The study concludes that, seen as a whole, TV's portrayal of archaeology in these years was less sensationalised than has previously been acknowledged. |
