Experimental Pedagogies: Teaching through Experimental Archaeology Part II

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 "Experimental Pedagogies: Teaching through Experimental Archaeology Part II" at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.

Experimental archaeology has become a burgeoning field that has answered significant questions about human experience driven by the same curiosity, ingenuity, and creativity that allowed our ancestors to thrive. It has also captured the public imagination and provides thousands with a tangible link to a multitude of imagined pasts. This session aims to explore how archaeologists create those tangible links through experiential learning in the classroom, our communities, and our research sites. Papers will focus on the role of experimental archaeology in teaching students, stakeholders, and the general public about the activities of the archaeological past.
