“Hell, I don't break the soil periodically to 'reaffirm my status'. I do it because archeology is still the most fun you can have with your pants on.” - Kent V. Flannery. In her quest to make archaeology available to the public, Kris Hirst has put together a collection of over 400 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.
Kris Hirst was a working archaeologist in the American midwest, American southwest and, in Mexico, before retiring in 2005 to write freelance science articles in archaeology. She is the person behind the website archaeology.about.com and has presented professional papers on the use of the Internet as a tool for presenting archaeological information to the public. She has an MA in Anthropology from the University of Iowa and is a member of the Society for American Archaeology, the Archaeological Institute of America, the Register of Professional Archaeologists, and the National Association of Science Writers.
