Technology and Public Outreach
Part of: Society for Historical Archaeology 2019
This collection contains the abstracts of the papers presented in the session entitled "Technology and Public Outreach," at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology.
Encouraging education in archaeology, encouraging public participation in archaeology, and sharing information with the public are all ethical principles held by the SHA. As technology changes the means of communication, some archaeologists are implimenting these new technologies to engage with the public. Social media and interactive apps have made communicating and interacting with the public much easier, and have made archaeological information more accessible to the public. This session will explore how Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter can be used for public outreach. It will also discuss the use of quick response codes in musuems, as well as other uses of technology in public outreach.
