Resource: History of Archaeology

Description

The discipline of Archaeology has developed slowly over hundreds of years. Formalised during the fashion for Antiquities in Europe in the Enlightenment, Archaeology became a Science under the Victorians. The History of Archaeology’s development provides useful insights into the nature of the modern discipline (what it is and what it is not), as well as an introduction into the Ethics associated with the discipline.
