This chapter outlines some of the benefits of collaborative research. It draws on the experience gained and the lessons learned from close to a decade’s collaboration between the Fiske Center for Archaeological Research at the University of Massachusetts Boston and the Nipmuc Nation of Massachusetts. Close collaboration as part of the Hassanamesit Woods Project between Nipmuc archaeologist Dr. D. Rae Gould of the University of Massachusetts Amherst, a member of the Hassanamisco Nipmuc, and the author has resulted in numerous ontological shifts. One of the more noteworthy has been a reassessment of the history of the seventeenth-century “Praying Indian” communities of colonial Massachusetts and Connecticut that have always been viewed as having been “established” by English missionary John Eliot. Such a view, long held by historians and archaeologists alike, was challenged as an outgrowth of collaborative dialogue resulting in a reassessment of notions of community and deeper connections to traditional Nipmuc lands. As a result, research examined deeper connections between the seventeenth-century community of Hassanamesit and earlier Nipmuc use of the area. Through a series of analytical studies, it was determined that cultural and spatial continuity could be demonstrated between recent Nipmuc communities and a deeper past.
本章概述了合作研究的一些好处。它借鉴了马萨诸塞州波士顿大学菲斯克考古研究中心和马萨诸塞州尼普穆克国家近十年合作的经验和教训。作为Hassanamesit Woods项目的一部分，马萨诸塞大学阿默斯特分校(University of Massachusetts Amherst)的考古学家Dr. Rae Gould博士(Hassanamisco Nipmuc的成员)与作者之间的密切合作导致了许多本体论的转变。其中比较值得注意的是对17世纪马萨诸塞州和康涅狄格州殖民地“祈祷的印第安人”社区历史的重新评估，这些社区一直被认为是由英国传教士约翰·艾略特“建立”的。历史学家和考古学家长期持有的这种观点受到了挑战，这是合作对话的结果，导致对社区概念的重新评估以及与传统尼普穆克土地的更深层次联系。因此，研究人员调查了17世纪Hassanamesit社区与Nipmuc早期对该地区的使用之间的更深层次的联系。通过一系列的分析研究，确定了Nipmuc社区与过去之间的文化和空间连续性。

This chapter critically discusses the current heritage management processes deployed at the Sigiriya World Heritage site in Sri Lanka, a significant tourist attraction. We examine the current condition of the site and the lack of involvement of the associated communities in its management. Through a series of inquiries among healers, artisans, and irrigation managers, new insights are gained into indigenous heritage values and meanings that are separated from heritage values assigned to Sigiriya. These insights compel an argument for the necessity to incorporate the ideas and opinions of the traditional knowledge keepers of the ancient villages in the vast forest land around Sigiriya. We end with suggesting a template arising out of local analyses for changing the management protocols at Sigiriya.

Earth mounds are Late Holocene sites that have received little interpretation in Northern Australia’s archaeological record due to their visible similarity to natural features. This chapter will show how Indigenous traditional knowledge, coupled with new analytical techniques, has expanded the study of these sites in new directions. Indigenous communities’ engagement with their landscape and cultural epistemologies have provided concepts and evidence-based practices that take the interpretation of these sites beyond the biased lens of Western suppositions. The archaeology of listening is paramount in the interpretation of both the past and present meanings of these sites in Indigenous Australian communities.
