Shared Spaces, Shared Stories: A Reflection on Archeology and Community from the Ecuadorian Rain Forest

Summary

This is an abstract from the "Working with the Community in Ecuador" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.

This presentation attempts to reflect on the dynamic relationship between archeology and communities, based on the 17 years of field experience of the Palmitopamba Archeological Project, in NW Pichincha Providence, Ecuador. The success and challenges of our experience demonstrate the need for a more reflective archeology that aspire to be participatory in its pedagogy, outreach and methodology. An archeology that feels comfortable implementing multivocality as a framework to produce work that "is inclusive and that tells multifaceted stories" (Joyce, 2002:1-11).
