Abstract
The art of archaeology
0
Volume describing the results of the Society of Museum Archaeologists' Art of Archaeology Initiative, which took place during the period 2000--2001 as part of an emerging trend in museum outreach work. Nine projects from a variety of museum services in England and Scotland are described, several of the papers having been given at the Society's conference at Carlisle in 2001. Contributions include
The Art of Archaeology Initiative --; a summary report
Janet Owen

detailed introduction to scope and outcomes of an initiative looking at the potential use of art to explore artefacts in museums and archaeological archives; including the shared objectives, descriptions of participating projects, evaluations of how well the four key objectives were met from the perspectives of both the museums and the visitors/participants, and a summary and discussion. The four key objectives are given as: to encourage new uses for this under-utilised archaeological heritage; to explore the interpretative potential of this archaeological heritage, integrating both an archaeological and artistic perspective; to facilitate the active involvement of existing and new audiences in the interpretation process; to explore together the contemporary relevance and meaning of the archaeological heritage in museums.
