Collaborative Archaeology in the Classroom

Summary

This is an abstract from the "Collaborative and Community Archaeology" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.

Collaborative archaeology is part of a movement that draws on the skills, knowledge, and requests of all stakeholders. Archaeologists are finally recognizing that this represents responsible practice, with benefits for all, and more and more are allocating time, money, and resources toward collaborative projects. Yet, the importance of collaborative efforts in archaeology must be stressed at students’ earliest introduction to the field if we are to have a paradigm shift in archaeology toward the universal adoption of collaborative archaeological practices. Here, I will use several case studies to illustrate how collaborative archaeology may be introduced into the undergraduate classroom and beyond.
