"This book provides a radical rethinking of the relationships between teaching, researching, digging and practicing as an archaeologist in the 21st century. The issues addressed here are global and are applicable wherever archaeology is taught, practiced and researched. In short, this book is applicable to everyone from academia to Cultural Resource Management (CRM), from heritage professional to undergraduate student. At its heart, this book addresses the undervaluation of teaching, demonstrating that this affects the fundamentals of contemporary archaeological practice, and is particularly connected to the lack of diversity in disciplinary demographics. It proposes a solution which is grounded in a theoretical rethinking of our teaching, training and practice. Drawing upon the insights from Archaeology's current material turn, and particularly Deleuze and Guattari's concept of Assemblages, this volume turns the discipline of archaeology into the subject of investigation, considering the relationships between teaching, practice and research. It offers a new perspective which prompts a rethinking of our expectations and values with regards teaching, training and doing archaeology, and ultimately argues that we are all constantly becoming archaeologists"--
