Author(s): Linda France Stine
Year: 2014
Summary
A landscape approach has revealed citizens’’ ‘questions that count’ through a number of community-engaged projects in Piedmont North Carolina. This presentation illustrates how foregrounding landscape focuses public discussions, multidisciplinary research, and ultimately enhances community and professional understanding. An example research project sought geophysical and historical archaeological evidence pertaining to the 1785 planned community of Martinville, staked upon the remains of the Battle of Guilford Courthouse. The results defied expectations.
