Abstract
EDITORS' COMMENT We are delighted to be able to host this outstanding collection of papers on community engaged heritage projects in Pakistan, written by eight specialist from that country. As so eloquently expressed by our guest editor for this issue, Uzma Z. Rizvi, the Global North has for too long acted as gate keeper for what material from other parts of the world gets published in international journals. Consequently, it would seem much more appropriate for this collection, entirely written by archaeologists and heritage professionals from Pakistan for such professionals in Pakistan, to also be introduced by an archaeologist of South Asian descent. Therefore without further ado, we wish to cede the ground to Uzma Z. Rizvi, who is much better placed than we are to describe the depth and significance of the contributions to this exciting issue. Sarah De Nardi and Thomas Kador.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Community Archaeology & Heritage is a new journal intended for participants, volunteers, practitioners, and academics involved in the many projects and practices broadly defined as ‘community archaeology’. This is intended to include the excavation, management, stewardship or presentation of archaeological and heritage resources that include major elements of community participation, collaboration, or outreach. The journal recognises the growing interest in voluntary activism in archaeological research and interpretation, and seeks to create a platform for discussion about the efficacy and importance of such work as well as a showcase for the dissemination of community archaeology projects (which might offer models of best practice for others). By inviting papers relating to theory and practice from across the world, the journal seeks to demonstrate both the diversity of community archaeology and its commonalities in process and associated theory. We seek contributions from members of the voluntary sector as well as those involved in archaeological practice and academia.
