This is a paper/report submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. In 2018 Florida Public Archaeology Network (FPAN) Coordinating Center staff in Pensacola, Florida implemented a pilot program called “Archaeology Story Time.” This public program was designed specifically for an age group that is routinely overlooked in public archaeology education and outreach: young children in grades K-2. Based on assessments of caregivers’ perspectives of the...

Archaeology in the Community (AITC) is an urban-based archaeology organization founded with the intent of providing science opportunities to marginalized youth who would have never been exposed to archaeology through their education system. This paper highlights how intersectional theory is used by AITC to expose and increase students’ knowledge of archaeology as a science. Intersectionality theory emphasizes the structural intersection of social categories and studies the concept of...

This is a paper/report submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. The idea of archaeology and advertising does not typically go in hand in hand, but advertisements influence our purchases today as much as they did back in the 19th century. Using the archaeological record as a starting point we will explore medicine bottles from the Gunnar’s Run South site located in the Fishtown neighborhood of Philadelphia, PA. This site was once mainly row homes...

San Francisco, and the Bay Area more broadly, is currently an epicenter of gentrification due largely to the tech economy.  Higher education is implicated in these processes too, though, as universities expand due to increased enrollment pressures.  This paper explores how these intersecting issues have played out during the first semester of teaching "Introduction to Archaeology" for the UC Berkeley/UC Extension San Francisco Fall Program for Freshmen as part of the American Cultures Engaged...

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. For the past ten years, archaeological research in rural Bates County, Missouri has uncovered the hidden histories of the unique Civil War landscape located on the Missouri/Kansas border.

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Historical Archaeology on the Island of Ireland: New Perspectives" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Conflict characterises much of the history of early modern and modern Ireland, with sites associated with violence common on the landscape. The unresolved political legacies of these events, and by extension the potency of associated sites, translates into their differential treatment. Some locales are...

As Laurajane Smith contents, heritage is not a series of sites, but of practices. Practioners of contemporary archaeology are lodged firmly in that practice, participating through the data we uncover, the stakeholders we engage, and even the media attention we draw to particular historic events but not others.  The archaeology of Amache, the site of a World War II-era Japanese American internment camp, is a long-term, community-based project focused on a past that has often been muted in...

The National Park Service (NPS) Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer (LGBTQ) Heritage Initiative was established to address the under-representation of LGBTQ sites listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) and as National Historic Landmarks (NHL), as well as to encourage interpretation of LGBTQ history at sites managed by the NPS. An archaeological context was included to facilitate the consideration of properties’ archaeological significance. In practice, the...

As part of the NPS centennial celebration, Knife River Indian Villages NHS and the Midwest Archeological Center hosted a citizen-science event focused on engaging local area Middle School students. The ArcheoBlitz was designed as a multi-day event to highlight research activities focused on the history and resources preserved at the park. The event was loosely modeled on Bio-Blitz events that have successfully been used by the NPS and National Geographic Society to gather natural resources...

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. The National Park Service (NPS) has two main incentive-based tourism programs: The Passport and Junior Rangers.  Both of these offer guests souvenirs of their experiences in parks, and have successfully harnessed the psychology of collecting to foster enthusiasm and support for NPS resources, places, and stories.  The...

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Archeology, Citizen Science, and the National Park Service" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. The practice of citizen science in National Parks offers the public opportunities to engage with the past in cooperation with professional archeologists. The NPS aims to make science more accessible and relevant by enlisting the public to assisting scientists with their work. Citizen science, however, is also a...

This article outlines the many milestones and significant events contributing to the development and establishment of the National Historic Preservation Act. Those who drafted the National Historic Preservation Act saw the National Register as a planning tool: its main purpose being a listing of properties at the federal, state, and local level that are worthy of preservation. For archeological resources, this is the most important aspect of the National Register. In order to make wise decisions...

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Archeology, Citizen Science, and the National Park Service" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Organizing a large citizen science event can confront researchers with many operational challenges. In order to achieve desired objectives it is beneficial to utilze an integrated command structure as a basis for the event. This paper will demostrate the use of the incident command system for the ArcheoBlitz held at...

Labor studies in the twenty first century are at a crucial turning point. As labor has steadily lost influence in the United States, labor organizations have been increasingly memorializing crucial moments in labor history. These moments are often clashes between labor and capital in which any victory, and sometimes losses, were hard fought. The new National Historic Landmark study of labor archaeology provides guidelines to help us identify significant sites and provide a new way to contribute...

Emory Church in Northwest Washington, D.C. hosts a Pan-African Methodist congregation, but historically Emory Church was aligned with Southern Methodism, and had a segregated White congregation until the beginning of the 1960s. Soon after the integration of the church, the last White pastor departed as did the remaining White members of the congregation, leaving the church to a small community of worshipers in 1968. Archeological mitigation undertaken in 2016 as part of the redevelopment of the...
