News of the Weird (Archaeology)
Part of: Society for American Archaeology 80th Annual Meeting, San Francisco, CA (2015)
This exciting symposium examines the interplay between archaeological fact and fantasy. Archaeological discoveries contribute to the public's consciousness of the ancient world. Unfortunately, fantastic elements also merge with verifiable data in disconcerting ways. Fanciful elements of the ancient world will be addressed along with how the media perceives archaeological data. This symposium is sponsored by the Media Relations Committee.
