How Do We Know What We Know? Tales of Rural Outreach

Summary

This is an abstract from the "Outreach and Education: Examples of Approaches and Strategies from the Pacific Northwest" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.

In 1999, the Alfred W. Bowers Laboratory of Anthropology kicked off a new public outreach program. Since then, staff members have attended at least 15 annual county fairs, taught students how to dig in a field, cleaned vomit (and other things) off our shoes, led parking lot surveys, thrown atlatls, and run weeklong workshops. From traditional to the fully digital, our staff and dedicated students have tried just about every method of talking to the public.
