Anthropologist Costa conducts an ethnographic study of heritage tourism in Ireland. She examines the discourses of heritage tourism and the relationship of heritage to archaeology. She also discusses the participants in Irish tourism, including the government and the tourists, while focusing on the "coach fellas," the tour bus drivers who also serve as tour guides.
