Archaeology is all about questions, and seeking the best answers for them; it has the potential to tell such wonderful tales. The issue of representing the past, primarily to an interested public, often takes a back seat to excavation or analysis. The media has mastered the art of narrative and is aware of this potential in archaeological representation. As a result, it is the media that defines archaeology in the public eye. Archaeologists need to be aware of the public's perception of their discipline and should actively work to represent themselves more effectively
