Overview Archaeologists engage with the public in various ways and, with the popularity of social media, are learning to adapt to the fast-paced nature of content creation. Posting online provides opportunities for archaeologists to engage with the public at any time and is a tool that can be used to share our knowledge quickly and broadly. Archaeological social media content can use many different approaches, but short-form video content is particularly effective. Many of these methods have similar goals: to educate the public and entertain. This digital review introduces different aspects of social media like the attention economy, online echo chambers, and the public’s reaction to posts about archaeology.
