1. OVERVIEW
The course examines archaeology in its wider social and political context.
The role of archaeology in the development of concepts of 'Heritage' will be considered on a
worldwide basis and issues raised at a theoretical and practical level discussed. These will
include differing values attached to objects, monuments and areas of land, archaeology and
politics, tourism and the means by which archaeologists can attempt to communicate
archaeology.
1
BASIC TEXTS
There are several recent publications which successfully summarise the issues behind Public
Archaeology. However, the very nature of the subject, which is constantly changing and which
encompasses all interactions with the public, means that these cannot be considered as anything
more than out-of-date introductions. For this reason also the reading lists provided for each
lecture can only be considered as introductory. You are encouraged to look for more current
material in newspapers, on television and on the internet.

METHODS OF ASSESSMENT
This course is assessed by means of:
(a) a two-hour written examination in May (50%); students are expected to answer 2 out
of 8 questions;
(b) two pieces of course-work: an essay of 1425-1575 words, which contributes 35% to
the final grade for the course; and a 950-1050 word review of public archaeology issues at an
archaeological/historical site or a museum that you have visited, which contributes 15%.
TEACHING METHODS
The course is taught through weekly lectures. Tutorials will also take place throughout the
course. In addition, one field-trip will be arranged to give students greater familiarity with key
issues covered in the course.
This combination of specialist lectures, tutorials and field trip will provide students with a
rounded grasp of the way archaeology can be used in the public realm.
WORKLOAD
There will be 20 hours of lectures and 4 hours of tutorial group sessions for this course. The
field trip will take an estimated 9 hours. Students will be expected to undertake around 70 hours
of reading for the course, plus 40 hours preparing for and producing the assessed work, and an
additional 45 hours on revision for the examination. This adds up to a total workload of some
188 hours for the course.
2. AIMS, OBJECTIVES AND ASSESSMENT
AIMS
This course provides an introduction to the way in which archaeology relates to the wider world
and has a relevance to everyday life. In this introductory course we draw attention to the wide
array of interrelated issues in the public domain, their relevance to archaeologists, and the
2
importance of understanding the significance of archaeology in what may appear to be unrelated
situations.
The use and abuse of archaeology and archaeological information occurs in the media on a daily
basis and is frequently involved in political issues – often in connection with both ethnic and
nationalist debates. Increasing concern with the maintenance of international and national
heritage has resulted in a steady increase in the body of international law as well as a multitude
of national laws, which aim to regulate various aspects of the archaeological heritage.
Archaeology and its products also have great economic importance – for example the third
largest illegal trade in the world, after drugs and arms, is illegal antiquities – and the impact of
heritage tourism has been both harmful and beneficial (depending on ones viewpoint) to a
number of national economies. The emphasis in the course is very much on encouraging
students to engage with, experience and critique the encounters that they have. Students are
encouraged to visit sites and museums, look at the broadsheet press and television – you may
well see numerous examples of Public Archaeology which may serve as examples for your
written assignments.
OBJECTIVES OF THE COURSE
On successful completion of the course a student should:
• possess an effective insight into how archaeology exists in the wider world.
• understand the broader implications of archaeology.
• recognize how the discipline can be used and abused.
• be familiar with the manner in which archaeology is represented in the media.
LEARNING OUTCOMES
Through taking this course students will develop their critical skills and their ability to recognize
alternative ways of viewing and presenting the past. This will expand their powers of
observation and critical reflection. Students will also be exposed to a wide range of management
issues that face heritage sites. This will be an important source of applicable knowledge for their
future work. Above all this course will ensure that students are armed with a sense of the
importance of considering public issues relating to archaeology. The discussion groups will also
help students develop their oral skills.
ASSESSMENTS
The coursework component of your assessment consists of the completion of one review and one
essay.
REVIEW
To promote the goal of getting students to experience sites and museums for themselves, a new
feature of the course in 2006 was an assessment contributing 15% of the final grade for the
course. This assessment involves producing a 950-1050 word review of public archaeology
issues at an archaeological/historical site or a museum that you have visited. The location
chosen may not include the Museum of London, the London Roman Amphitheatre, the Sir John
Soane Museum, the British Museum or the Petrie Museum. Your completed review should be
submitted by midnight on Friday 6th March.
3
The review should examine Public Archaeology issues at the chosen location. Hence, students
may wish to focus on the political aspects of interpretation, the impact of tourism, the biases
inherent in the way in which information is presented, contestation in the landscape, or a range
of other issues. It is intended that the Public Archaeology course will expose students to these
issues and that the review will be undertaken in light of student’s increasing recognition of
Public Archaeology issues. Most students will make these site/museum visits during the
Reading Week or alternatively on weekends. Remember that the focus should be on public
rather than purely academic issues.
ESSAY
The other assessment is an essay which should be 1425-1575 words in length. The essay title
should be selected from the list provided. Your completed essay should submitted by midnight
on Thursday 2nd April.
Please refer to the undergraduate handbook on essay writing, regarding the appropriate format
for your essay. Be sure to structure your essay properly, setting out the scope and intention of
your study in the introduction and providing a coherent conclusion at the end.
In what ways has archaeology been made use of by politics and what have been the
consequences of this use?
How has the role of the museum changed and how are these changes represented in their
activities?
Discuss, using at least three examples, how archaeology has been used within museums.
What are the strengths and weaknesses of using archaeological material.
Why is the return of cultural property, including human remains, such a problematic
issue?
How is archaeology currently communicated to non-archaeologists and what means offer
the best prospects for the future? Be sure to think of the audiences who are being targeted
by these initiatives.
How can archaeology be used as an educational resource and does it offer viable
educational returns?
Discuss the importance of cultural tourism for the protection and management of
archaeological sites.
How do non-archaeologists encounter archaeology and does this shape their use of the
past?
If students are unclear about the nature of an assignment, they should discuss this with the
Course Co-ordinator.
The Course Co-ordinator is willing to discuss an outline of the student's approach to the
assignment, provided this is planned suitably in advance of the submission date.

Word counts
The following should not be included in the word-count: title page, contents pages, lists of
figure and tables, abstract, preface, acknowledgements, bibliography, lists of references, captions
and contents of tables and figures, appendices.
Penalties will only be imposed if you exceed the upper figure in the range. There is no penalty
for using fewer words than the lower figure in the range: the lower figure is simply for your
guidance to indicate the sort of length that is expected.
EXAMINATION
This course has a two hour unseen examination, which will be held during May; the specific date
and time will be announced when the schedule of examinations is set by the College. In the
examination, students will have to answer 2 questions. Previous examination papers, with the
same format and examples of the style of questions which will be asked, are available for
consultation in the Institute Library, and are available on the UCL Web-site. A revision session
to discuss the examination will be held in the first week of the third term.
3. SYLLABUS AND SCHEDULE
Lectures will be held 11:00-13:00 on Monday, in Seminar Room 347, 16 Taviton Street (SSEES
building).
Students will be divided into four tutorial groups.
One field trip will be scheduled to the Museum of London on Saturday 28th February. Further
details will be announced closer to the date. Attendance registers will be kept of those present
on the trip.
TUTORIAL GROUPS
Students will be divided into four tutorial groups which will meet in Room 410. Group lists are
attached below. Students may also consult the second-year notice board (basement staircase
landing) for details of groups and meeting times. Tutorials will be taken by Sarah Dhanjal.
To keep tutorial groups small enough for effective exchange, it is essential that students attend
the group to which they have been assigned. If they need to attend a different group for a
particular session, they should confirm this arrangement with the Course Co-ordinator.
The tutorial groups will be directed to examine a number of general themes concerned in Public
Archaeology. Four themes will be examined. You should also use these group sessions to raise
questions relating to your understanding of the topic or issues that have come up during lectures.
Students will be divided into 4 groups and will meet in alternate weeks

1. ANDREW REID: OBLIGATORY ‘PUBLIC ARCHAEOLOGY’- WHY?
Since its antiquarian origins and subsequent development via Processual archaeology,
archaeologists have become more aware that the kinds of interpretations of the past which are
favoured at any particular time are fashioned by the concerns of the day. There is today a
growing awareness of the importance of the social context of archaeological interpretation. The
concerns of today are fashioned by the public. All aspiring archaeologists need to become aware
of the interface between their chosen discipline and the wider community.

2. ANDREW REID: POLITICS AND ARCHAEOLOGY
It is not at all rare that archaeological remains have been overtly used to promote nationalistic
and racist endeavour. Archaeological interpretations are matters of more or less subjective
opinion rather than matters of scientific fact and objectivity. As such they are open to political
manipulation. It is therefore particularly important for archaeologists to understand the nature of
archaeological evidence, of theories of ethnicity, as well as the brands of archaeological theory
which find themselves in political conflict with each other. A particularly good example of the
importance of politics and culture is the issue of reburial, emphasizing how physical possession
of human remains reinforce power hierarchies and at the same time contravene very different
cultural approaches towards the dead. The second lecture looks at the case of central Europe
demonstrating that overt political use of archaeology was the norm and that the well-established
manipulations of archaeology in Nazi Germany followed this trend rather than forging an
entirely new course.

3. ANDREW REID: INDIGENOUS AND LOCAL ARCHAEOLOGIES
ANDREW REID: UNESCO, HERITAGE AND TOURISM
The development of archaeology in the UK, and particularly in England, provides considerable
insight into the involvement of the public. In the early 20th century it was seen as the preserve of
the few – a largely upper middle class activity and of only limited interest. Since then there has
been increasing governmental and professional involvement and as the subject has reached more
people perceptions of the significance of archaeology have changed. Have these changes made
archaeology less accessible? This case study is aimed at looking at many of the issues raised in
other lectures in a more local context. At the opposite extreme the lecture will also consider the
emergence of indigenous archaeologies and the recognition that there are very different ways of
reconstructing the past.

Increasing concern to ensure that sites and monuments are preserved in an international context
has meant that there has been increasing emphasis on World Heritage Site status. Our initial
examination will look at the UNESCO World Heritage listing process, and its origins and
compare and contrast the expectations and realities in developing and developed countries and its
effectiveness. We will subsequently outline the issues that underscore this organization.
The growth of a world-wide tourist industry has had profound effects on the significance of the
past – for example tourism is the UK’s fourth largest sectoral employer – which has given the
heritage increasing economic importance. The effects of this are widespread and not always
beneficial. At the same time there has been increasing recognition of the significance of
archaeological heritage in international terms – culminating in the designation of World Heritage
sites. The protection and promotion of archaeological sites and material is now big business.

4. THEANO MOUSSOURI: PEOPLE AND MUSEUMS
ANDREW REID: DISPLAYING OBJECTS
There have been considerable attempts to involve the public in archaeological activity in recent
years, ranging from wider participation in fieldwork, liaison with metal detector users, better
presentation in museums and on sites, and greater involvement in the school and adult education
sector. This has been accompanied by a growth in critical analysis of how museums go about
ensuring presentation, access and involvement. The role of museums have drastically changed,
they are no longer seen as temples for the worshipping of knowledge but rather they now have to
acknowledge and embrace their role as sponsors of public education and entertainment. To help
achieve such goals museums now have to consider how best to present to and engage with the
public. This session will provide an overview of current issues and review the possible shape of
future developments. In the second session there will be a practical class where we will consider
the strengths and limitations of archaeological artefacts as display items.

5. TIM WILLIAMS: CONSERVATION AND PRESENTATION OF SITES
The management of archaeological sites might be said to be trying to reconcile three potentially
conflicting aims: research, conservation and public access. Whereas in the past the
archaeologists’ interests in research have often taken precedence, there is now a greater concern
for long-term preservation and for the interpretation of sites to the public. The lecture will use
international examples of site conservation and presentation, reviewed in the light of

A key aspect of Public Archaeology is developing a greater awareness of the audiences that there
are for our outputs. One of the ways in which the public may be exposed to archaeology is
through education, either on the school grounds or as part of school visits. Archaeologists need
to be aware of how archaeology is able to contribute to learning. This lecture will briefly
address ways in which archaeology has been used to support the English National Curriculum.
It will focus on the use of archaeology in schools, but will also make reference to informal
education, to make more general points about how archaeology can be used as an educational
tool.

ANDY BEVAN: CROWD-FUNDING AND CROWD-SOURCING FOR
ARCHAEOLOGY
The huge growth in public interest in archaeology in recent years has been accelerated by far
wider coverage of the subject in recent years in print, radio and television journalism. Some of
this coverage is sober and informative. Some especially the news coverage, is still stuck in the
ancient stereotypes to do with the supposed value of “buried treasure”, obsessed almost to
exclusion with glamorous finds or with the image of the archaeologist as an adventurous
explorer in distant continents. An important aspect for archaeologists to embrace is to
communicate results using the diverse media forms that now exist. This lecture will consider the
importance of such initiatives as well as examining the potential for future efforts.
Increasingly archaeologists are recognizing the need for proactive engagement with the public
using the full range of media facilities that are available today. Several interesting initiatives
have been developed using social networking and dedicated smartphone apps. These lectures
challenge us to continue to explore new ways to engage the public, arguing that it is the only
means by which we can effectively communicate with a broader audience. In addition,
networking media offer new opportunities to fund and resource research activities themselves.

7. ROY STEPHENSON: BEYOND THE MUSEUM – COMMUNITY OUTREACH AND
THE MUSEUM OF LONDON
MERIEL JEATER: CREATING NEW GALLERIES
These two lectures will be presented by members of staff of the Museum of London as part of
our consideration of the activities of that institution. These lectures will give you an insight into
the workings of a museum and will build on your experiences from the field trip In particular,
we will explore how galleries are designed and implemented and how specific intentions have to
be catered for. This was very clearly the case with the War, Fire, Plague gallery. The gallery
was very carefully designed and planned out. Compare it with the London Before London
(prehistory) gallery from 2001 and the Roman section dating from 1996. A particular focus will
be on recent initiatives which drew young people into the modification of existing Roman
galleries as part of a broader range of activities in part relating to the London Olympics. You
can see more about this on:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IpeSdODK_Yk
The Museum of London has in recent years been able to demonstrate a widespread ability to
attract members of the public. This is in terms of innovative exhibits, manipulation of the media,
special activity days, but also in terms of outreach to members of the community who might not
otherwise be interested in the activities of the museum.
Besides the reading for the museum’s lecture you should also consult their website:
WWW.MUSEUMOFLONDON.ORG.UK/
Which has all kinds of useful information on displays, learning and also a back catalogue of
press releases.
It is strongly recommended that students visit the Museum of London prior to these
presentations.

8. KATHY TUBB: ANTIQUITIES IN A FREE MARKET
Ownership of the past is not a straightforward matter. Questions of ownership, the morality of
the commodification of antiquities and the psychological significance of archaeological material
have engendered impassioned debate by collectors, bureaucrats and the general public. The
looting of archaeological sites to supply the trade poses an increasing threat to the archaeological
record. International efforts to try to curtail trafficking in illicit antiquities have not been
particularly successful. The session will examine some of the main reasons for this failure, in
part through an examination of the relevant International Conventions.

KEVIN MACDONALD: CONFLICT IN MALI AND THE TRADE IN TERRACOTTAS
Consideration will be given to the case of the trade in Malian terracottas which at one time
threatened to be catastrophic but which had been brought under control, principally through
empowering local populations. Mali has one of the longest histories of systematic looting of
cultural goods in Sub-Saharan Africa. Because of this, it also has the longest history of initiatives
to combat what some have called ‘cultural genocide’. We will consider the history and relative
effectiveness of the fight against looting objects such as ‘Djenne terracottas.’ In 2012/13 Mali
has suffered considerable political unrest which has resulted in the destruction of cultural
heritage by military/political authorities and insurgents. This further poses the question of how
to attempt to protect heritage resources when “officials” determine such resources to be
unethical.

17
MOLA: PUBLIC OUTREACH AND ORAL HISTORY AS PART OF THE WALBROOK
DISCOVERY PROGRAMME
A dynamic area which is proving to be very important in the last few years is commercial
archaeology providing outreach services. This satisfies a need amongst developers and/or local
and regional authorities to provide targeted programmes in relation to particular issues and also
widens the scope of commercial archaeology companies making them less susceptible to the
vagaries of the economy and the amount of construction projects being conducted. There are of
course dangers in commercializing education and there is the further potential for political
interference.
This session will look at two ongoing initiatives that are attempting such outreach projects. They
will provide you with examples of good practice and the challenges that have to be dealt with.
There are no readings available for this session but additional readings may be suggested.
10. PUBLIC ARCHAEOLOGY PANEL: GABE MOSHENSKA AND MIKE
HEYWORTH (DIRECTOR OF THE COUNCIL FOR BRITISH ARCHAEOLOGY)
As a different way of concluding the course this year we have decided to experiment with a
discussion panel to provide a conclusion to the course and an indication of the future directions
Public Archaeology will explore. You will be able to participate in this discussion and we will
seek to draw questions from you in advance. The session will also provide an overview and
summary of public archaeology the will be a useful stepping stone in your preparations for your
exam.
4. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
