Generally speaking, the public is viewed as an obstacle to be overcome by the experts and authorities, but Gürsu shows how local communities can be potential allies in the safeguarding of heritage assets. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFurthermore, \u003ci\u003ePublic Dialogues in Archaeology\u003c\/i\u003e challenges the notion that intellectual knowledge is a prerequisite for the appreciation of archaeological history, and presents an understanding of the past that works at a somatic, sensory and emotional level. The result is a study that gives voice to different social groups that have often been silent, silenced or misunderstood in official reports and authorised publications. In this novel approach, Gürsu concentrates on the 'public' within public archaeology.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Isilay Gürsu\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1350547301\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781350547308\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Academic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/11\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 264\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.19lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.63d","brand":"Isilay Gürsu","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48659696845055,"sku":"9781350547308","price":115.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/public-dialogues-in-archaeology-isilay-gzrsu-9781350547308","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
