A short archaeological report published within the same year gives a linear account of these investigations. The film footage-which lay unedited and unseen at AIATSIS for decades following these investigations-tells a more nuanced story. Drawing upon Bruno Latour's Actor-Network Theory, this paper considers how film footage provides a unique opportunity to move beyond the available accounts in order to ethnographically describe the various actors that comprise and influence archaeological practice. In doing so, this article maintains drawing on film provides insights into the reality of archaeological investigations often obscured within written accounts. More than that, however, film also provides an opportunity to revisit the people, places and practices of archaeology to produce historical accounts of archaeological practice that are as colourful as the characters that produced it.

Once considered a passive repository of knowledge extraction, archives are today approached as a source of knowledge production ABSTRACT Moving image archives-like many other archives-are considered a passive repository of knowledge extraction, rather than an active site of knowledge production. Following the premise that archives are indeed a source of knowledge production, this article explores how moving image archives have the potential to produce new and alternative knowledges by bringing to light factors that may have influenced archaeological practice, factors captured within a moving image archive but obscured or marginalized within linear accounts of this practice. While such an archive may exist unevenly, the Australian Institute of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Studies (AIATSIS) has been historically positioned to develop a moving image archive that features a number of well-known archaeological investigations. Yet this archive and similar moving image archives remain overlooked and underutilized resources. In order to address this, emphasis is placed on producing detailed, searchable, and retrievable content description for moving image archives. In doing so, this article maintains that the knowledge and experience brought to the management of this archive following the author's transition "from archaeologist to archivist," is key to promoting the discoverability and accessibility of this archive with potential clients in the archaeological, academic, and broader community.

The theory - also known as Translation Sociology - provides the approach to structure and to explain the links between society and technology. That means to say it tries to explain how technology is made acceptable and usable by society groups or organizations. The explanation of concepts is supported by a case study where events along the process change project in the business of a given company is analyzed under the actor-network angle. Since it is a fictional case study, all situations have been appropriately created to best illustrate theory concepts.
