Abstract
Archaeology and urbanism: railway stations and zoological gardens in the 19t...
David Reybrouck, van
225 - 241
The author looks at the phenomenon of urbanization, and argues for an `archaeology of the city'. Building on Habermas' work on the public sphere, the article contends that the cityscape, just like the domestic sphere, is a domain for carving out social identities. It also contends that material agency can best be understood as a form of meaningful emergence through bricolage. The arguments are explored through an empirical case study on zoos and railway stations in nineteenth-century Europe. Both institutions developed around the same time, often in each other's vicinity. Drawing on research into zoo studies, transport history, cultural history and urbanism, it is argued that zoos and stations were instrumental in transforming the nineteenth-century cityscape into a bourgeois space that provided gateways to the outside world.
Money over matter: heritage management in Wales
Andrew Ferrero
243 - 256
By analysing the management of castles in North Wales, the author argues that the current system of heritage management policy has many inherent failings. He cites underfunding, a perceived lack of commitment to education and preservation and the division of responsibility along modern national boundaries as evidence that the current policy needs to be re-thought, and argues that more effort should be made to present a more inclusive heritage by accepting that heritage sites in Wales exist within a multicultural Britain and a world of shared human experience. Denbigh Castle in North Wales is presented as an emerging model for future heritage management. Responsibility for the site passed from Cadw to the local council in 1998, and the author argues that it is an example of how a heritage site can be integrated with the local community that has lived in its shadow for hundreds of years.
Crossing the Rubicon: fact or fiction in Roman re-enactment
Grahame A Appleby
257 - 265
The paper discusses the role and use of Roman re-enactment as a means of engaging with, visualizing and interpreting Roman material culture, and how this is translated into presentation material for public display. The paper raises several issues on the use of re-enactors to interpret a specific period from the past, and reflects on why people actively participate in re-enactment, with an emphasis on accuracy and authenticity.
Curious archaeology: the process of assembling a fringe prehistory
Troy Lovata
266 - 275
The paper comprises an interview with Preston Peet, editor of the recent popular-audience archaeology book Underground -- the disinformation guide to ancient civilizations, astonishing archaeology and hidden history (The Disinformation Company, New York, 2005). The volume positions itself unashamedly at the fringes of archaeology. The interview serves as primary data for archaeologists to understand how they communicate with the public, how archaeology on the fringes operates and how editors act as conduits between professional and public spheres.
