Stewarding Past Places into the Future – Cultural Landscapes, Byways, and Heritage Studies in Archaeological Practice

Summary

Between 2010 and 2013 archaeologists at the University of Iowa, Office of the State Archaeologist collaborated with local communities, traditionally associated peoples, and other stakeholders in planning processes involving archaeological sites, cultural resource districts, and archaeological preserves in Iowa and Illinois. Each project built on and extended partnerships with and between Native American communities and fostered new multidisciplinary relationships between archaeologists, architects and museum specialists, all of whom contributed greatly to each projects success, exposing commonalities, tensions and complexities involved in managing cultural and heritage places and landscapes. Multidisciplinary partnerships are critical aspects of these projects, but are not without challenges and tensions. In this poster we present outcomes, challenges, successes, tensions and lessons learned along the way that will hopefully benefit others working in these diverse arenas of archaeological practice.
