This study focuses on stakeholders and changing perspectives on a heritage site. The case study is an historic cemetery within a public state park that was the location of a Russian colony in northern California: Fort Ross State Historic Park. From 1990–1992, I excavated the cemetery at the Russian Colony Ross, which was in use from 1812–1841, and which included Russians, Native Alaskans, Native Americans, and combinations thereof. A total of 135 burials were excavated and reburied. Although the Russian Orthodox Church has clear requirements for funeral and burial, the specific location and extent of the cemetery were unknown. Examining the site from the perspective of different stakeholders and their agendas, this article explores the changing nature of a mortuary heritage site, as well as how different groups interpret and use the same site, how communities reacted to the excavation project, and how the project continues to have an impact on communities. Various stakeholders have used the cemetery in different ways to memorialize their own pasts and make claims in the present.

In the Fall of 2015 the Office of the Wyoming State Archaeologist (OWSA) conducted archaeological investigations at the Gipson site, a historic campsite located in the Laramie Mountains of Wyoming. This project was undertaken at the request of the property owners and successfully synthesized research, outreach, and education. During the field session twelve students and volunteers ranging in age from 10 to 60 conducted survey, metal detecting, and test excavations. Data collected from this work has the ability to give clarity to the nature of the 19th century occupation and will add to the understanding of railroad building activities in the West. However, the benefits of this project extend beyond the informational value the collected data provide. Through the integration of students from the University of Wyoming and local volunteers, including the property owners, the Gipson site investigations proved to be a successful public outreach and archaeological educational tool. This paper will provide background on the project and discuss the challenges and benefits of incorporating outreach and education into a standard research project.

Puerto Rico has long been understood by archaeologists as a key geographical location for understanding the succession of cultural occupations in the Caribbean (Alegria, 1965; Curet, 2006; Siegel, 2005.) Unfortunately, despite the importance of archaeology in this region, the island has been continuously effected by socio-economic instability, lack of archaeological funding opportunities, few specialized academic programs, and a heavy focus on cultural resource management (CRM) rather than academic research. Though more Puerto Rican-focused archaeologists have joined the academic discussion, publications in this area are still relatively low and heavily focused on CRM and salvage work. Poor funding and resources for non-consulting archaeological projects has relegated Puerto Rico to the “island with the lowest number of publications in the Spanish Caribbean.” (L.A. Current, 2006 pg. 656). This paper will highlight some of the limitations of working in Puerto Rican archaeology. We will use the experiences we gained from our research project at the La Mina archaeological site to shed light on some of the difficulties we encountered as well as (hopefully) encourage an increase in academic and financial support for this understudied region of the Caribbean.
