Thesis Title: ‘Seaing’ Archaeology, Constructing Knowledge: The meaning of Under Water Archaeology in the Media.
About
Sperry, although most of his examples are European,
is asking a global question which is not just about archaeology under water or, indeed, on land, but has almost boundless relevance for all academic, industrial, and governmental research. Why are we allowing research technology to usurp theory? Why do we let ourselves drift into the assumption that collected data — and even the methods by which those data were collected — can in themselves constitute ‘the answer’? (Ascherson 2009:1-2)
