Museum Meet and Greet
Part of: Society for American Archaeology 81st Annual Meeting, Orlando, FL (2016)
Many museums’ and repositories’ archaeological collections are filled to the brim with artifacts. These collections offer countless research projects that are all too often under-utilized. This poster session offers archaeologists an opportunity to get to know what types of collections museums and repositories have to offer and how they can go about accessing these collections for research. Come learn about aspects of collections that are under researched and be inspired to start a research project. Become informed about the current projects underway at various institutions that involve community outreach and collaborative projects with Native groups, and how you can assist with these efforts. This session will also allow for inquires about what archaeologists can do to improve the documentation of collections from the initial repository process all the way through to long term curation and future research.
