Beginning from the premise that, done well, archaeology can be a tool that transcends boundaries, helps to create social justice and is an excellent way of teaching cultural sensitivity, Erdman's volume brings together case studies that combine to form a handbook for encouraging responsible engagement in archaeology and stewardship of heritage. * Antiquity This book provides nuanced and reflective perspectives on archaeology education in practice; on the whole it is both theoretically-informed and grounded in real-world experience. It offers a range of viewpoints, and much that is thought-provoking... This book provides a good foundation course. * Archaologische Informationen

It is not only a welcome addition to the ever-growing discipline of public archaeology and education, but also a testament to the passion and creativity of these authors and educators of all walks of life. It is written in a way that makes it accessible to people of all ages... It would be an excellent addition to any educator's toolkit and graspable to the general public."" - Heritage & Society ""This book provides nuanced and reflective perspectives on archaeology education in practice; on the whole it is both theoretically-informed and grounded in real-world experience.
