Archaeology and Mainstream Media: Slippery Slope or Revolution Worth Stoking? (2020)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Karen Bellinger.

This is a paper/report submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Few would deny that in recent decades, methodological and theoretical revolutions have transformed the practice of historical archaeology. Through technological innovations and new intellectual avenues for interpreting the past, the ways and means by which historical archaeologists approach research and analysis have advanced tremendously in scope and sophistication. When it comes...

The Archaeology Education A Team: Public Archaeology and Public Media (2022)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Barbara A Clark.

This is a poster submission presented at the 2022 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. The pandemic created unique challenges for public archaeologists, but it also presented unique opportunities. Using digital media allows public archaeologists to broaden their audience in ways not possible with in person events. One way to maximize this potential is by partnering with public media outlets. They already have a large dedicated audience interested in educational content and...

#Archeology: Loose Lips Save Slave Ships? (2017)

DOCUMENT Citation Only boyd sipe.

The discovery of the hulk of an 18th-century sailing ship during archeological excavations at the Hotel Indigo site in the City of Alexandria, Virginia attracted the attention of local, national and international corporate media and trended on social media sites. Reflecting on this project’s 15 minutes of fame and media attention associated with other recent high-profile archeological projects in the Washington D.C. metro area, various issues including unequal access to media, knowledge, and...

Digital Archaeology: Telling the Stories of the Past Using Technology of the Future (2017)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Justine Benanty. Samuel M Cuellar.

New digital technologies have been slow to be adopted by the archaeological field. While archaeologists are encouraged to undertake public education and outreach, we haven't yet fully embraced the immersive visual & interactive online tools available to us. Traditional means of publishing no longer suffices as a strategy for long-term preservation of our field. While young professional archaeologists are attempting to bridge this gap by providing first hand visual data from the field, it isn't...

Educating The Public About Archeological Excavations (2019)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Suzanne Spencer-Wood.

This is an abstract from the "The Public and Our Communities: How to Present Engaging Archaeology" session, at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Public education is important to promote understanding of archaeology. Excavations I have directed since 1972 have both educated students and welcomed visits and participation of local adults and children who became interested in the hands-on experiential learning involved in excavations. Media publications, including...

From Alcatraz to Standing Rock: Archaeology and Contemporary Native American Protests (1969-Today) (2018)

DOCUMENT Citation Only April M. Beisaw.

Since the occupation of Alcatraz by the Indians of All Tribes (1969-1971), Native American and First Nation protests have been well-documented through a variety of media. Unfortunately, many Americans and Canadians lack the background necessary to understand the messages being conveyed. For example, after the National Park Service began including the Alcatraz occupation in their site interpretation, I witnessed visitors discussing how inappropriate it was to celebrate a prison riot. More...

Maya Apocalypse 2012 in the Media -- The Cataclysm that Never Was. (2015)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Andrea Messer.

December 21, 2012 was supposed to be the Maya apocalypse, the end of the world as we know it. In reality, it was only the end of one Maya calendar cycle of 5122 years -- the end of the 13th Baktun. Even at that, the Maya saw the ending of calendars as a renewal, not an end. But somehow, somewhere this event was interpreted as a coming cataclysm of immense proportion. In the popular press and online, the Maya apocalypse was imminent. How was the coming of this supposed event covered by the press...

Media Portrayals of Viking Rune Stones in North America (2015)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Lauren Milideo.

In North America, rune stones of purported Viking origin have been the subjects of excitement, scrutiny, and dispute. The stones have been called hoaxes, and archaeologists and other workers remain unconvinced about the stones’ Viking origin and validity; nevertheless, claims have appeared over time that rune stones, which have turned up in such diverse locations as underwater and on hillsides, contain the inscriptions of Scandinavian explorers in North America, including inland areas, long...

The Museumification of Video Game Artifact Collecting: The Development of Experiences in Archaeological Video Games from Trophy Taking to Decolonizing and Educating (2023)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Christopher Wai.

This is an abstract from the "Digitizing Archaeological Practice: Education and Outreach in the Archaeogaming Subdiscipline" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Collecting objects forms a core game mechanic. Traditionally, critiques have focused on the trivialization of cultural objects. However, I argue that such collections have grown in their educational and informative ability for players. Furthermore, such games are reflexive, informing the...

Research with an Agenda: Creationist Media on Archaeological Discoveries (2015)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Krystal Hammond.

Young Earth creationists view the natural world in a manner far different from the average anthropologist. Very little secular media support a Young Earth creationist perspective. Therefore, pursuant to conveying the world in a manner that is in keeping with their worldview, Young Earth creationists have produced magazines and other forms of media that specifically address science and theological topics relating to the age of the earth as well as archaeological finds relevant to the veracity of...

Thieves, Looters, and Adventurers: Assessing Representations of Archaeologists in Uncharted and Tomb Raider. (2017)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Katherine D. Thomas.

Naughty Dog’s Uncharted series and Square Enix’s Tomb Raider series are two of the most popular gaming titles on the market. With combined sales of 73 million units, in addition to movies, books, and graphic novels, these two franchises have widespread reach and influence. Both titles feature "archaeologists" as their protagonists, and they each have a different approach to material culture. This paper will compare and contrast these two franchises in search of positive representation and how we...

Walking in the Footsteps of Scottish Prisoners of War - Methods and Approaches in Recreating and Documenting a Forced March (2023)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Megan L Olshefski.

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Paper / Report Submission (General Sessions)", at the 2023 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Following the Battle of Dunbar on the 3rd of September 1650, about 4,000 Scottish prisoners of war were forced to march south to England. Their destination - the nearest building sizeable enough to imprison a vast number of individuals: Durham Cathedral. Over the span of a week, the Scots marched over one hundred miles, with...

Who Speaks for the Archaeological Record?: A Media Analysis of Canadian Archaeology (2016)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Matthew A. Beaudoin.

Archaeology is often conducted under the pretense of being to protect archaeological resources for the good of the general public; however, it is not always clear how archaeological excavations and research serve the public interest. There are many examples of how the Canadian public is interested in the archaeological discipline, but the voice of the academic archaeologist is often absent within public discussions of archaeology and history. By conducting a media analysis of how archaeology is...

Working with indigenous (descendant) communities and the study of Roman Britain (2013)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Richard Hingley.

This paper explores the meaning of the Roman past to people in Britain. The imperial context of Roman studies has been interrogated for almost two decades and alternative, more-critically-based, accounts of the impact of Roman upon Britain have been produced. The popular media, however, often portrays the Roman intervention in Britain as having granted material progress to barbarian Britons through the gift of Roman civilization. These arguments tend to divide specialists from the broader...
