The Expression of Archaeology
摘要
How can we express archaeology? Perfect expression is an elusive concept, and indeed, people with different perspectives tend to raise divergent, if not contradictory, opinions. When archaeology intersects with social practice, it inevitably encounters a myriad of stakeholder interests and a corresponding spectrum of critiques on its development. The evolution of contemporary archaeology has distanced it from an era when elite discourse dominated absolutely. The expressions of archaeology are not singular. They are like our course discussions, where consensus is gradually forged through constant negotiation amidst diverse expressions.
