Summary

This is an abstract from the "Archaeology Education: Building a Research Base" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.

This paper assesses the present and historical role of outreach and collaboration with collectors in Montana. Understanding the historical context of interactions between professional archaeologists, amateurs, tribes, and the public is an essential foundation for the creation of effective education programs that achieve meaningful archaeological learning. This presentation will pay particular attention to the distinction between archaeological practice and outreach education as it pertains to pubic versus private lands in Montana.
