The course examines archaeology in its wider social and political context, within its visualisation, modelling and public outreach. The role of archaeology in the development of concepts of Heritage will be considered on a worldwide basis and issues raised at a theoretical and practical level discussed. These will include differing values attached to objects, monuments and areas of land, archaeology and the law, archaeology and the media, tourism and the place of archaeology in the planning process.
