The Authors
While the main texts here were written by archaeologist and archaeoblogger Paul Barford, some of the texts below are additionally commented upon by guest blogger Tamara Prava-Kroftova, the estranged half-sister of the more famous Lara Croft. Both grew up fascinated by archaeology, but while Lara went on to engage in artefact hunting as a Tomb-Raider, Tamara married and wrote her doctorate on the 'The Methodology of Archaeological Research: The Didactic Aspects' and now lectures at the West Ukrainian University of Volodymyr-Volynsky. Tamara sometimes may sound harsh, but in fact is only saying what every self-respecting British archaeologist should be saying, and should have been saying all along, about the idea of responsible collection-driven exploitation of the archaeological record. Unfortunately I could not find a British archaeologist willing to take part in this project and had to look to the centre of Europe to find one to uphold professional standards and values.
