Book Review: La Arqueología Reconstructiva y el Factor Didáctico by Santacana and Masriera
Abstract
Both in Europe and in the US there is a multitude of archaeological sites which are shown to the general public either partially or completely rebuilt. This pattern, which is standard practice in many countries, is sternly contested and rejected in others, giving rise to a 200 year old international debate. The dispute around criteria for or against archaeological reconstruction is in fact the rationale for this new book by Dr Santacana and Dr Masriera.
