Media as Archaeology or Archaeology as Media?

Greg Bailey

Research output: Contribution to conferenceConference Abstract

Abstract

The idea of ‘archaeology’ - understood as material/discursive practice, or the sites, artefacts and data that constitute the matter of archaeology - as somehow existing beyond or separate from ‘media’ - understood as platforms of communication, hybrid technologies or carriers of meaning - is probably unrealistic.
Whether regarded as stuff, reflecting instrument or transformative praxis, as message carrier and cultural artefact, archaeology is already transmitter and transmission.
