Description:	The inspiration for this volume is a pair of personal and professional quests. We the co-editors, Flatman and Rockman, both became archaeologists through traditional academic routes with intentions of continuing academic career paths. Through a combination of coincidence, serendipity, chance, and other forces at play, we both have come to practice archaeology in variety of professional spheres – governmental and cultural resource management as well as academic. Each of these roles has placed demands on us to explain what archaeology is, why it is necessary, and what level of funding is appropriate for it. Over several years of employment, it became apparent to both of us that the questions asked by each role are different and come out of different understandings and expectations for archaeology, and that these understandings and expectations are often at odds with our own understandings of what archaeology is and can do.
