ABSTRACT
Publication is an archaeological responsibility. There is no point in doing archaeology unless the work is properly published in the form of a final excavation report. This type of report normally collates all the information and material from the excavation and the subsequent research and, together with a detailed discussion of the findings, gives an analysis of the results and a conclusion. If this is not done, it can be argued that the work is incomplete. Few archaeologists would disagree publication is an essential part of archaeology.
