Site Stewardship Matters: Comparing and Contrasting Site Stewardship Programs to Advance Our Practice

Part of: Society for American Archaeology 88th Annual Meeting, Portland, OR (2023)

This collection contains the abstracts of the papers presented in the session entitled "Site Stewardship Matters: Comparing and Contrasting Site Stewardship Programs to Advance Our Practice" at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.

In 2014, the initial site stewardship survey was conducted to gather information from the known site stewardship programs, located at that time primarily in the West. Since then, more site stewardship programs have emerged and more are starting to organize. The second site stewardship survey was launched in the spring of 2022 to update and expand the original study. This session presents papers from the various organizations demonstrating their own affordances and constraints. The session will summarize findings from the 2022 survey and premier a video that links the program together.
