When we are attempting to recreate the worlds of our ancestors from their remains, how close can we get? How far can we go? (Lauermann, page 20)
When we are recreating a manufacturing process, does knowledge of modern craft give us a better insight or does it hamper us with preconceptions? (Archaeology and Craftsmanship, page 3)
Can we faithfully recreate a manufacturing process? (Karbowniczek- Weker- Suliga, page 45, Espelund, page 50)
Even where written instruction have survived there is much information which was not put down as it was ‘common knowledge’? (Comis- Re, page 33)
And when presenting the results of our effort to the public, do minimalist reconstruction give as distorted a picture of the past as some flights of fancy? (Thomas, page 8)
These are important questions which archaeologists have to ask themselves again and again. We have to keep them in minds to remind us of our responsibility towards our readers, visitors and the public in general.
