Visual Storytelling for a Modern Age

Summary

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2021: General Sessions" session, at the 86th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.

Visual Storytelling for a Modern Age: In a visually obsessed world, many archaeologists have squandered the potential for effectively sharing the story of their research. This presentation focuses on the importance of integrating a content creator and utilizing modern image creation techniques to more effectively communicate the story of archaeology, while freeing the archaeologist to focus on their work. By utilizing cutting edge technologies, such as drone imaging, and social media, such as Instagram, there are immense opportunities to create content in an engaging fashion, and share it with a limitless online audience. This engagement helps build understanding, excitement and awareness with the public, solidify community support, and assists with prospective funding opportunities.
