Archaeology as Festival

'This is one of the most delightful and innovative conference proceedings I have read. The book has a wonderful variety of creative contributions where each paper pops like a wild flower in the green field of a rock festival. There are continuities and common threads (place making, networks, phenomenology), but each paper unravels a world of its own.' Kostis Kourelis, Franklin & Marshall College, Professor of Architectural History'This is a really exciting and timely book that goes beyond the limits of traditional archaeology to respond to an all-but-unprecedented global situation. As contemporary archaeology continues to expand and become recognised both within and outside academic departments as a crucial sub-field, this volume provides an important space for showing the potential of archaeology in the present day and for the future.'
