Describing and interpreting the past : European and American approaches to the written record of the excavation

Archaeology has an ethic dilemma at its root--quite simply, if excavation is destruction, what, if any, can be its justification? Such a line of thought, with its champions and chastisers, is that even if the excavation physically destroys the site, it compensates for this by re-creating, by means of symbolic models and narratives, the historical sequence whose witness and result was the site itself.--From publisher description.
