Out of the Lab and into the Public

Summary

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2023: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.

As a field, it should be our responsibility to continually strive to develop engaging, approachable, and novel means to get “out of the lab” and into the general public (and help others do the same). While the Antonio J. Waring Jr. Archaeological Laboratory is primarily an archaeological repository and research facility, this philosophy has helped drive two of our main operational goals—education-outreach programming and exhibit development. This poster will explore the growth of this initiative over the past years, discussing the many types of products generated as part of our operation that includes outreach activities, public events, exhibit development, and virtual and augmented reality products, among others. Public responses to these initiatives, strategies employed to extend Waring’s reach to these communities, and the future of these initiatives will be discussed as well.
