Collaborative Archaeologies in Transformation: Preliminary Results from a Social Network Analysis of Archaeological Practice

Summary

Collaborative or community-based archaeology can involve a range of activities from modifying dissemination practices to shifting to writing research designs with a coalition including non-archaeologists. These approaches were built as responses to specific concerns by crafting research methods to the modern context of archaeology. Out of these myriad approaches has developed a social network of scholars whose professional interactions are consequential for understanding contemporary archaeological practice. This presentation will outline preliminary results of a social network analysis of collaborative archaeology using a database of publications, conference presentations, and other products of these projects.
