About this book
Reviews
“Sometimes we do not realise how much we need a book, until we read it. This was certainly the case for this reviewer when reading Margarita Díaz-Andreu’s History of Archaeological Tourism. Before reading it, I had not imagined such a book was possible, let alone necessary. By the time I was half-way through, I wondered how we had managed without it till now.” (Trabajos de Prehistoria, Vol. 77 (2), 2020)
“It is a wide-ranging investigation into archaeology, travel, tourism, and leisure. It is well-researched and useful for a number of audiences. … A History of Archaeological Tourism is interesting to read, for scholars in tourism studies and the history of archaeology.” (Kathleen Sheppard, Histories of Archaeology Research Network, September 3, 2020)
