Effective management is becoming increasingly important in all aspects of archaeology. Archaeologists must manage the artifacts they deal with, their funding, ancient sites, as well as the practice of archaeology itself. The outstanding papers in Managing Archaeology are from experts involved in these many areas of archaeology. Managing Archaeology concentrates on the ideas and principles of management and relates them to archaeology in the 1990s, covering such crucial areas as the management of contract and field archaeology, heritage management, marketing, law and information technology.
