Archaeologist's Book of Quotations
K. Kris Hirst
January 2010, 136 pages, $39.95 Paper

"I became an archaeologist because I wanted to drive around in a big Landrover, smoking, cursing, and finding treasure.”
- Carmel Shrire (1996)

"The problem in archaeology is when to stop laughing"
- Glyn Daniel (1961)

In her quest to make archaeology available to the public, Kris Hirst has put together a collection of over 250 pithy quotes from archaeologists and others about the science of archaeology or the mysteries of history and the past. The quotations are categorized into subject areas with full citations and context and include sections on fieldwork, the uses of archaeology, ethics, ownership of the past, lessons of archaeology, and many other topics. Hirst’s book is a great resource for students, academics and others browsing for suitable quotes for use in classroom presentations, student papers, and research articles. This book is also just plain fun…
