Abstract
Years of ethnographic work with current and former workers at two Middle Eastern archaeological sites combined with archival research. Describes the knowledge that locally-hired laborers possess about artifacts, excavation methods, and interpretation, showing that archaeological workers are experts-and are paid by archaeologists to pretend to be less knowledgeable.--Provided by publisher.
