Incorporating "Otherness" to Archaeological Research.

Summary

This is an abstract from the "Primary Sources and the Design of Research Projects" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.

Much has been written about widening our research scopes to incorporate peripheral topics that include ethnicity, class, gender, age, and status. Although these past decades there has been significant progress, we should ask ourselves how can we impact and motivate students to address these issues. This presentation will demonstrate the benefits of teaching how to use primary sources to develop research projects in undergraduate archaeology classes. Drawing from my experience, I will use examples of the types of documents that can shed light on the "forgotten" protagonist of our recent past and the ways in which existing archaeological collections can be incorporated.
