«Today’s archaeology requires new skills, new sensitivities for
communicating effectively with the wider audience […] We are woefully
unprepared for the challenges of an entirely new kind of archaeology. … The
academic culture is becoming increasingly irrelevant to much of what
contemporary archaeologists do. Yet we persists in training predominantly
academic archaeologists… Professional archaeologists have indeed become performers
on a public stage who work as sophisticated storytellers».
