ABSTRACT The 2015 summer internship programme connected to a special exhibition on the Indus Valley Civilization was a watershed in the history of the Lahore Museum. Rediscovering Harappa: Through the Five Elements opened on the 21st of November 2015, showcasing original Harappan artefacts from the museum’s permanent holdings in conjunction with interpretive artworks that had been produced by the ‘artist-interns’ within the internship programme. This paper provides an overview of this internship – one that offered opportunities for curatorial research documentation and artistic production to college students, under the mentorship of museum experts. Conducted by the Inheriting Harappa Project, a major challenge taken up by this internship was to cultivate a sense of ownership of Harappan cultural legacy amongst the youth of Pakistan.

ABSTRACT In this article I reflect on work I am engaged in to support heritage preservation within and along with the indigenous Kalash community in Pakistan, as an active member of that community and the head of the Chitral Museum. As a curator and archaeologist, my main aim has been to secure and protect the identity of the Kalasha people and our links to the archaeological past. I also work with the community to improve the recognition of both tangible and intangible heritage, particularly in the context of challenges posed by factors such as socio-economic, environmental, and political issues impacting the livelihood, health, and education of the Kalasha people. The key changes needed are improvements in education done in conjunction with improvements to livelihood and infrastructure – it is through working on all of these needs in concert that we will also be able to do heritage work, as these are all interrelated. Ultimately, I seek to preserve the archaeology of Chitral as well as greatly improve public awareness and education regarding Kalash history and culture – I want every Kalash child to be proud of being Kalash.

ABSTRACT Legends - the folk stories of the local community - play a vital role in archaeological investigations. Many times these stories have led to important archaeological discoveries, and some have helped archaeologists to interpret the data. Local legends frequently act to safeguard sites, even though they may also destroy them. After addressing the concept of community archaeology to clarify the meaning of community engagement in archaeological projects, this article focuses on the role of legends in the protection of archaeological sites. A total of four sites all located in Hazara Division of Pakistan were selected for the present study. The legends associated with these sites narrate tragedies (that occurred during illegal digging at these sites. And, having strong belief in these legends, the local community do not dare to damage to these sites. Thus, this article argues that these sites remain in a better state of preservation as compared to other sites due to the influence of local legends.

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.

ABSTRACT This article addresses strategies for community engagement and social inclusion in museum practice through a case study of the State Bank of Pakistan Museum & Art Gallery from the museum director’s point of view. Through the initial interior and visual design and the ongoing programmes design, the museum staff have sought to foster interactivity and accessibility that support the engagement of a diverse community of museumgoers. In this case study, specific design strategies are described which are used at the museum, as well as a range of interactive activities, from tours for the hearing impaired to the incorporation of local craft making into museum programmes. Through these actions, the museum works to support the community’s engagement with heritage as well as heritage’s development through community. Museums must be accountable to and supportive of communities because it is people’s active participation in museum activities that keeps heritage alive.

ABSTRACT Co-production of community heritage research is in the ascendant. Co-production aims to break down barriers between ‘experts’ and the ‘public’ to co-create knowledge about the past. Few projects have sought to critically evaluate the complexities of co-producing research, particularly long-term ones, composed of multiple activities, which draw on differently situated groups. This paper presents a reflective analysis by the university-based participants of a long-standing community heritage project focusing on the ruins of a locally celebrated crofting community in Northeast Scotland. The use of archaeological and archival techniques, the creation of an exhibition, a kitchen garden, promenade drama, a heritage app, and publications, provide both opportunities and challenges for co-production. The meaning of co-production was shaped by the nature of research activities, resulting in significantly varied levels of participation; its embedding, therefore, requires managing expectations. Effective relationships for co-creating knowledge are an outgrowth of building trust, which take time, patience, and commitment.

ABSTRACT This paper explores the notion of absence as a key, but elusive, element in the contemporary recognition, perception and reception of Australian frontier conflict. It derives from a four-year-long community archaeology project to document the lives and legacies of a devastating frontier paramilitary policing force – the Queensland Native Mounted Police (NMP). The sources of absence in the heritage of the NMP are complex, deriving from silences in historical records, the partial nature of archaeological data, and the vicissitudes of memory work. We offer an introductory taxonomy for the kinds of absence that characterize the NMP and use this to consider the potency of absence in theorizing, reconstructing, defending and interpreting the heritage of Australian frontier conflict.

ABSTRACT The no-impact maritime archaeological conservation-focused citizen science programme gathering information via recreational and technical (GIRT) scientific divers formally started in January 2019 and was designed and developed to encourage interested people, businesses, and groups to have an active and positive maritime archaeology management role. Initially launched in New Zealand and Australia, GIRT has expanded to include members in 9 countries. To better understand who is interested to participate in GIRT, why, and what it is they seek to get out of their participation, a survey was sent out to the first 119 people who undertook training. 100 people responded to the survey providing information about the demographics of participants, their background in heritage and protection, diving, science and conservation, and volunteering. Survey results show that GIRT is acting as a gateway into maritime archaeology for individuals who have never dived wrecks and for people interested in natural heritage.

ABSTRACT Nestled in the foothills of Golden, Colorado, Magic Mountain is one of the most important archaeological sites in the Front Range of the Southern Rocky Mountains. The earliest contexts date back to 9000 BP, when the site served as camping grounds for groups passing through the region. Later remains, such as ceramics and stone structures, indicate that through time it became a semi-permanent residence that was inhabited until at least 1000 CE. From 2016 to 2018 the Denver Museum of Nature & Science and Paleocultural Research Group conducted research at the site through a large-scale, community-based effort. This paper details the community involvement and provides a template for others wishing to engage in similar endeavours.
