"Sharing Archaeology addresses critical issues regarding the role of archaeologists and archaeology in heritage studies around the world today. It presents an important collection of case studies that illuminate the increasingly complex interactions of archaeologists and other stakeholders, from descendant communities and tourists to journalists and lawmakers. A diverse group of authors provide first-hand experience and valuable insights into the study, presentation, and preservation of the past. Of particular interest are a rich set of examples from China, available for the first time to English speakers. Every practicing archaeologist, student of archaeology, and other specialists and lay people interested in what we can learn from the past will find something of interest in this collection." – Phyllis Messenger, University of Minnesota, USA"This volume provides an outlet for ‘new’ perspectives on the growing field of public archaeology from areas currently underrepresented in the literature. Its broad mix of case studies and empirical chapters offer students and practicing professionals information to improve understanding of the ways that information is shared between stakeholders. The wide range of topics will do much to increase the ways that writers integrate regional perspectives in global issues." – Joe Watkins, University of Oklahoma, USA
