- Title
A RECIPE FOR IMPROVING POLICY-DRIVEN ARCHAEOLOGY: ADD PUBLIC OUTREACH AND STIR.
- Authors
Harris, Benjamin
- Abstract
Public outreach is an increasingly critical part of the archaeological world: it not only enhances our interpretations, but also makes archaeology relevant, accessible, and socially meaningful to the public we serve. However, for many policy-driven archaeologists, constraints on trying to mount such projects are daunting. This paper investigates implementation practices of public archaeology and how these can be improved in the context of regulatory compliance. Ethnographic interviews were conducted to illustrate the broad spectrum of perspectives that comprise the profession of policy-driven archaeology. Thus, the fact that they converge upon a shared set of recommendations is all the more significant.
