Community Education and Public Engagement

Part of: Society for Historical Archaeology 2014

Archaeologists cannot or should not practice their discipline in isolation as local communities and the general public can play important roles in archaeological projects. From on-site interpretation to the use of social media, there is a vast array of possibilities to share knowledge and data. In this session, presenters offer innovative ways to connect with the public and discuss original projects which educate both communities and future generations of archaeologists.
