On its website, the Day of Archaeology project challenges readers to “find out what archaeologists really do.” This statement carries the assumption that considerable misinformation exists regarding the activities of practicing archaeologists. The Day of Archaeology project, run by a number of contract, university, and museum archaeologists, features detailed accounts of field research, lab work, and scholarship. The posts are engaging, convivial, and consistently convey archaeologists’ passion for their work and the importance of archaeological research. The blog is not organized along any obvious structure, though it contains a very useful search bar and drop down list of article categories. Its intended audience is clearly the general public, and it seems to enjoy fairly substantial readership, as evidenced by the numerous comments and dozens of Facebook likes each article receives. An excellent example of public scholarship, the blog not only imparts accurate archaeological information to the general public, but it also features a variety of contributing authors. As a result, readers are left with a diverse picture of what archaeology is and what archaeologists do.
