Public Archaeology as a Gateway towards a Revisionist History (2019)
This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Government archeologists work in geographic areas that are associated with their agency’s mission and projects. By law, the government agency’s archeologist is required to consider all cultural entities that may be adversely affected by the project. This permits a more objective approach to the use of archeology as a tool that provides information that can...
Public Archaeology in Remote Places (2018)
Public outreach and engagement has long been perceived as a cornerstone of historical archaeology. Many of the earliest public archaeological projects in the discipline concerned sites that had a significant preexisting audience, such as an urban environment. This paper looks at what it means to do public archaeology in remote settings, and it will explore how archaeologists engage the public when their sites are places of intentional displacement. How do public archaeology strategies and...
Public Archeology in Poland on the Example of the Leading Archaeological Reserves (2019)
This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.

Public Policies and Rock Art in México (2018)
This paper aims to present an overview of the public policies applied to rock art in Mexico in the last years. This cultural resource is perhaps little known in its entirety, yet presents an invaluable variety for its study. Its registration, conservation, and study have allowed in recent years to know more about the vast heritage which the country has it. One of the goals is also to comment on the public steps that have been implemented in this area in different regions.

We soon found that the process of building meaningful and long-lasting partnerships...
Putting the Soul into Archaeology—Integrating Interpretation into Practice (2019)
This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. This paper calls for a creative, interpretive archaeology that does not take reports for agencies or other archaeologists as its end goal but instead speaks to a far wider range of audiences through the development and presentation narratives that will engage and inspire people. I argue that this can be achieved by implementing "Emotion Design" –an...
The Quaker Farm that Wasn't: Archaeology at the Smith Farmstead (2018)
During archaeological field work at a North Carolina central Piedmont farmstead (~1870-1940) researchers collected information on numerous landscape features, a standing structure, and remnants of other log buildings. The site contained unusually well-preserved leather goods, metal artifacts, and metal trash piles; however very few ceramic or glass artifacts were discovered in spite of the volume of earth moved and sifted. Oral history, documents, and archaeological evidence will be explored to...

REAP in El Tajin: Looking towards Social Participation in a World Heritage Site (2018)
The Pre-Hispanic city of El Tajin (Mexico) was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1992. Late on in the same decade UNESCO encouraged State Parties to foster "informed awareness on the part of the population… whose active participation [in conservation]…is essential". Using the Rapid Ethnographic Assessment Procedures method (REAP) on fieldwork in Mexico, this paper aims to contrast global and local policies to improve participation of local communities generally and in particular of...
Reassembling The Social Organization: Uniting Museums, Archives, and Indigenous Knowledge around Franz Boas’s 1897 Monograph (2018)
Franz Boas's 1897 report, The Social Organization and the Secret Societies of the Kwakiutl Indians, was a landmark in anthropology for its integrative approach to museum collections, photographs, and sound recordings as well as text. However, both Boas and his Indigenous collaborator George Hunt remained dissatisfied with the published text, laboring for decades to correct and supplement it. They left behind a vast archive of materials related to the book’s creation and afterlife that are...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2023: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Archaeological looting in the Maya area has been an enduring concern for over 60 years. While many individual archaeological projects have worked diligently to record looting within their respective project areas, the recent application of lidar in archaeology facilitates the large-scale study of illicit digging in the forested Maya region for the first...
