Interdisciplinary and multi modal, the essays cover a huge range of works: fiction by M.R. James, Algernon Blackwood and Arthur Conan Doyle; films and franchises including \u003ci\u003eTomb Raider\u003c\/i\u003e and the \u003ci\u003eBlair Witch Project\u003c\/i\u003e; cultural phenomena such as Weird Tales, black metal, and Victorian occult sex magic; and 'real life' archaeological horrors from cursed objects to uncanny bodies, and magical treasure hunting. Lifting the lid on a popular new horror sub-genre, \u003ci\u003eUncanny Archaeology \u003c\/i\u003euncovers a field that is open, inclusive, and playful.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eGabriel Moshenska\u003c\/b\u003e is an Associate Professor in Public Archaeology at the UCL Institute of Archaeology, University College London, UK.
