Museums and Archaeology brings together a wide, but carefully chosen,
selection of literature from around the world that connects museums
and archaeology. Part of the successful Leicester Readers in Museum
Studies series, it provides a combination of issue- and practice-based
perspectives. As such, it is a volume not only for students and
researchers from a range of disciplines interested in museum, gallery
and heritage studies, including public archaeology and cultural
resource management (CRM), but also the wide range of professionals
and volunteers in the museum and heritage sector who work with
archaeological collections. The volume’s balance of theory and
practice and its thematic and geographical breadth is explored and
explained in an extended introduction, which situates the readings in
the context of the extensive literature on museum archaeology,
highlighting the many tensions that exist between idealistic
‘principles’ and real-life ‘practice’ and the debates that
surround these. In addition to this, section introductions and the
seminal pieces themselves provide a comprehensive and contextualised
resource on the interplay of museums and archaeology.
