Current Research and Challenges in Arctic and Subarctic Cultural Heritage Studies
Part of: Society for American Archaeology 89th Annual Meeting, New Orleans, LA (2024)
This collection contains the abstracts of the papers presented in the session entitled "Current Research and Challenges in Arctic and Subarctic Cultural Heritage Studies" at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.
In the Arctic and Subarctic, archaeological research and related field actors face similar challenges, responsibilities, and ethical concerns, despite a diversity of regional contexts and local specificities. Various established and early career professionals and students—archaeologists, historians, conservators, curators, site and museum administrators, and others—are invited to share their personal experiences and reflections regarding significant changes, current scopes and stakes, and new developments of archaeological research and heritage management in the circumpolar regions. The papers presented in this session are a sampling of the issues pertaining to the organization of past and ongoing research at various stages, such as elaborating research projects and fieldwork, public outreach, data and collections management, and museum studies. We also address recent advances in specific tools and methods that can be applied to cultural heritage studies.
