Summary Archaeological theory has shown that images of the past have carried a particularly strong resonance within modern social groups. This volume explores the impact that the phenomenon of archaeology has had on the representation of the past in the modern world. It signals a fundamental revision of archaeology - not what it is, but what it can do
