Exploration-Forward Archaeology Through Community-Driven Research

Part of: Society for Historical Archaeology 2024

This collection contains the abstracts of the papers presented in the session entitled "Exploration-Forward Archaeology Through Community-Driven Research," at the 2024 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology.

Through both internal and external activities, archaeology has been part of NOAA Ocean Exploration's mission to explore the unknown ocean since its beginnings. By working closely with partners across public, private, and academic sectors, we are filling gaps in our basic understanding of the marine and archaeological landscape from coastal waters to the deep sea. This exploration-forward session presents archaeological investigations, projects, and partnerships in the Gulf of Mexico, Pacific and Great Lakes regions to help consider the fundamental questions: How do we encounter and engage underwater cultural heritage when conducting exploration-focused operations? How do we archive, share, and protect these data? How can we better engage and support the archaeology community?
