Magnetic Models: Creating an Interpretive Model of Civil War Case Shot (2017)
3D modeling has been successfully incorporated into the realm of public outreach and interpretation. The ability to virtually access and manipulate artifacts and monuments allows people to interact with the object where they are incapable of doing so. Creating replicas also provides a hands-on experience by permitting onsite visitors to examine and hold certain objects, including the more delicate cross-mended materials. This project utilizes magnets in an attempt to connect the plastic replicas...

Make history: public archaeology as a way of life (2017)
Archaeologists, historians, and other scholars in the heritage sector share a responsibility to public interpretation, education, and the dissemination of our current understandings of the past often while challenging myths and dominant histories that clash with those interpretations. Use of dense academic jargon in archaeological publications represents a significant barrier to public engagement with our work, and narrow specializations prevent us from deploying our investigative tools to...
Making Archaeological Data Publicly Accessible through the Digital Index of North American Archaeology (2018)
Scientific research conducted during the process of environmental review has been publicly and openly criticized by governmental officials in recent months. Not only does this represent an official contestation of the value of this research in the public eye, it seeks to undermine the credibility and legitimacy of science as a discipline. The research in question is federally mandated, and in the case of Section 106/Title 54, exists to avoid unnecessary harm to historic properties. If we seek to...
Making History Personal: Community-Focused Archaeology in the Nevada City Cemetery, Nevada City, Montana (2015)
The small cemetery overlooking Nevada City, Montana, holds this history of the town in a unique and personal way. To the nearby descendants, the cemetery symbolizes the continuity of family, community and history. In August, 2014, Extreme History partnered with Project Archaeology to map and assess the cemetery as part of a Teacher Workshop. The project revealed the value of the personal community connection to sacred places. By working with descendant members of the community, we were able to...
Making the Inaccessible Accessible: Public Archaeology at a 19th-Century Bathhouse in Alexandria, Virginia (2016)
This paper examines Alexandria Archaeology’s foray into broadcasting archaeological excavations and findings through videos and social media. When excavations began at a well discovered by chance in the basement of a private residence, city archaeologists took a social media approach to reach and educatate the public about a site otherwise be inaccessible to them. Video updates of the excavation posted online allowed followers to witness the process of archaeological discovery and...
Making the Invisible Visible: Interpreting Archaeological Sites and Landscapes for the Public (2020)
This is an abstract from the session entitled "From Maryland’s Ancient [Seat] and Chief of Government: Papers in Honor of Henry M. Miller" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. One of the most significant contributions made by Henry Miller throughout his career has been the integration of archaeological resources into public interpretation. During his time at Historic St. Mary’s City, Dr. Miller has ensured that rigorous archaeological survey, excavation, and...
Mapping the African American Past: a Model of Collaboration for Public Archaeologies. (2013)
Mapping the African American Past (MAAP), hosted by Columbia Center for New Media Teaching and Learning, is comprised of web-based educational modules that stem from partnerships forged between educators, technologists, archaeologists, and students to construct accessible interrelated landscapes. Linking digitized contributions from local historical societies, libraries, and family genealogies, transforming palimpsest into lesson plans and downloadable audio walking tours, creates geographies...
Mapping the Path to Preservation: Integrating community and research at the Newtown and Chemung Battlefields (2016)
The inclusion of community is vital for the protection of historic sites. However, issues related to present day property rights, economic development, and historic struggles can present obstacles for integrating communities into a preservation project. The Revolutionary War’s Sullivan-Clinton campaign involves a complex history centered on the violent conflict between Haudenosaunee (Iroquois), Delaware, and Continental forces. Historic tensions between the Haudenosaunee and the American and...
mbira: a platform to build, serve, and manage mobile public heritage experiences (2015)
The spaces we inhabit and interact with on a daily basis are made up of layers of cultural activity that are, quite literally, built up over time. While museum exhibits, archaeological narratives, and public archaeology programs communicate this heritage, they do not generally allow for interactive, place-based, and individually driven exploration by the public. In recent years, mobile and augmented reality applications have offered both platforms and models for mobile heritage experiences that...

Moctezuma, King David, and a Gentile Meet on a Mountain: Religious Factionalism and Indigenous Perceptions of Archaeological Sites, Archaeology, and Archaeologists (2015)
The state of Oaxaca in southern Mexico has long been famous for its archaeological tourism, aimed mostly towards urban-based national and international publics. But while this is also the state with the largest indigenous population in Mexico, the contemporary descendents of those archaeological and historical cultures present an important yet mostly unrecognized public whose perceptions of their own past remain poorly studied. Concomitantly, the complex relationships between cultural heritage...
Monitoring and Predicting the Movement and Degradation of Cultural Resources Through Active Public Participation (2016)
Scattered near the coastline of Assateague Island, along the Maryland/Virginia border, hundreds of ships met their demise through harsh weather conditions and treacherous shoals. Similar environmental factors have allowed archaeologists to document these sites through the establishment of a Historic Wreck Tagging Program. The author, working for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, developed and implemented a system to track the degradation and movement of shipwreck timbers as a means to manage...
More Screen Time: Creating Equitable Programming Access via Zoom? (2021)
This is an abstract from the session entitled "Remote Archaeology: Taking Archaeology Online in the Wake of COVID-19" , at the 2021 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. The Florida Public Archaeology Network's Southeast and Southwest Regions are located in a global COVID-19 hotspot.

The "Most Cherished Dream": Analysis of Early 20th century Filipino Community Spaces and Identity in Annapolis, Maryland (2017)
In the late 19th century, American territorial expansion policies in the Pacific created a foothold into Asia through Philippines. Consequently, territorialization of Philippines stimulated waves of immigration into the U.S. that formed Filipino communities. This paper examines the intersection of space, politics, and identity through the formation of early 20th century Filipino community sites in Annapolis, Maryland. Through Archaeology in Annapolis (AiA), a cultural investigation of Filipino...
The Most Overlooked Component of Public Programming: Approaches to Educational Assessment (2019)
This is an abstract from the "Archaeology Education: Building a Research Base" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. As scientists, archaeologists collect data. Why don’t we often collect data on the effectiveness of archaeology education programming? Public archaeology is developing into an essential practice. However, our field lacks extensive comparative information about the outcomes of these programs, and we rarely assess what our participants learn...
