The concept of the excluded past rests on two basic arguments: that the prehistoric past is almost universally excluded from school curricula and that the version of the past presented to many indigenous and minority groups is not their own but rather that of dominant social groups. Contributors from a variety of different perspectives and countries show how the exclusion of aspects of the past impoverishes and distorts social and educational experience. They show how bridges can and must be built between archaeology, education and indigenous and minority groups. |

| Publisher Description: The Excluded Past examines the uneasy relationship between archaeology and education, arguing that archaeologists have a vital role to play in education alongside other interpreters of the past. Cross-cultural and inter-disciplinary contributors show how the exclusion of aspects of the past tends to impoverish and distort social and educational experience. |
