{"product_id":"presented-past-1","title":"Presented Past","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Presented Past\u003c\/em\u003e is concerned with the differences between the comparatively static, well-understood way in which the past is presented in schools, museums and at historic sites compared to the approaches currently being explored in contemporary archaeology. It challenges the all-too-frequent representation of the past as something finished, understood and objective, rather than something that is `constructed' and therefore open to co-existing interpretations and constant re-interpretation. \u003cbr\u003e Central to the book is the belief that the presentation of the past in school curricula and in museum and site interpretations will benefit from a greater use of non-documentary sources derived from archaeological study and oral histories. The book suggests that a view of the past incorporating a larger body of evidence and a wider variety of understanding will help to invigorate the way history is taught. \u003cem\u003eThe Presented Past\u003c\/em\u003e will be of interest to teachers, archaeologists, cultural resource managers, in fact anyone who is concerned with how the past is presented.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54262469886296,"sku":"9780415513425","price":61.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780415513425_69a06d16-b83a-4096-8058-acd056acc50d.jpg?v=1777619729","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/presented-past-1","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
