ABSTRACT
Each with over thirty years experience with the media, Brian Fagan and Francis Pryor have broadcast their message of archaeology through many different media and in their own individual ways to audiences around the world. Having written extensively on many archaeological themes for academic and public audiences, public archaeology in the United States and the UK has grown and matured through their combined experience and would be much the poorer today if not for their continued passion and energy. When placed together in the following interview (carried out via email correspondence in the summer and early winter 2005), their views regarding current themes from ‘archaeology and the media’ offer insightful glimpses into the connections and distinctions between British and American perspectives.
