"'Key Concepts in Public Archaeology offers a useful compilation of themes and has the advantage of being freely available on the publisher's platform, giving access to a much-needed resource in a context where most contents are locked away behind a paywall or expensive purchase prices.' Public Archaeology 'Key Concepts in Public Archaeology offers an overview of the remarkable diversity of ways UK archaeologists have brought the field to a wide audience of nonprofessionals, many in active roles. Moshenska, the volume editor, offers a succinct but thoughtful definition for public archaeology as ""practice and scholarship where archaeology meets the world.""' American Anthropologist 'Littered throughout with concise and well-chosen case studies, Key Concepts in Public Archaeology could become essential reading for undergraduates and is a welcome reminder of where archaeology sits in UK society today.' British Archaeology 'Moshenska has brought together a bevy of talented individuals who have produced a solid introductory text that is accessible in terms of cost and content. The book is not intended to be a comprehensive guide to public archaeology, but it does an excellent job in capturing diverse interfaces between archaeology and the public.' Historical Archaeology"
