Description: This volume
begins a discourse on the implications of performing archaeology in a world
dominated by modern trends of mass production, mass replication and
representation of cultural forms, and mass consumption of images of the past.
The contributors
explore the extent to which contemporary consumption of mass-produced replicas,
simulations, images and experiences of the past cause a crisis of
representation of the past. Eschewing romantic beliefs, it discusses what
archaeology can do.
