Description and Table of Contents
Description
Addressing archaeological curators, including museum staffs, the author of this book considers those museums which undertake the preservation, better recording and interpretation of the stored material culture of the past (up to about 1700; after this date the material belongs to the social historians), and of its associated archive. Several themes run through the book: the nature, care and the interpretation of the material culture archive; the principles by which the archive is presented, and the legitimate relationship between the museum archaeologist and their public.
