Beyond metaphor: archaeology as a social and artistic practice

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

This article summarises recent work on the engagement between art and archaeology, but seeks to embed this in a longer history of archaeology as a metaphor for other cultural and social practices, and at the same time to compare the ways in which archaeologists and other practitioners operate within the field of cultural production.
