Abstract

In Archaeologists in Print: Publishing for the People, Amara Thornton explores the relationship between archaeologists, publishing houses and the British public's understandings of antiquity in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Nicholas Barron recommends the book – available to download from UCL Press here – as a highly readable and detailed exploration of the institutional networks of archaeological knowledge production that will appeal to readers interested in the links between empire, tourism, science and publishing at the turn of the twentieth century.
