ABSTRACT
Archaeologists are still struggling, after all these years, to teach their craft to the public. We can explain archaeology, but can we make it interesting and relevant? Can we explain to people why placing a monetary value on an artefact is inappropriate, but why it is appropriate that these artefacts be placed in museums? An archaeologist once commented that archaeologists can bore even their own colleagues with the way in which they portray their findings. How can we tell people about what we find without glorifying it to the extent that they will want to go out and dig on their own? How can we teach the subject in an interesting manner and expose people to a science that is both fascinating and tedious at the same time?
