Abstract: | Two key reasons are most often cited for the low impact of grey literature sources in archaeology, difficulties with access
and lack of peer review. Seymour (this volume) has examined the constitution of grey literature and discussed themes surrounding
accessibility. Although peer review is an important topic that deserves careful consideration, for the present discussion
it is sufficient to state that the vast bulk of archaeology’s grey literature, the reports resulting from Cultural Resource
Management (CRM) projects, receives several levels of careful, often expert review before acceptance as the basis for development
project approvals. Without minimizing the importance of access to the grey literature or disparaging important efforts to
improve it, then, this paper focuses on a separate issue, the discourse surrounding grey literature in archaeology and the
hegemony it supports. I offer a manifesto, rather than a scientifically dispassionate account, because the current situation
requires change, not study. |
