ABSTRACT In this piece, I propose using a spiritual activism framework among like-minded communities to create a stronger opposition to the materialist mainstream worldview that promotes the commodification of the Earth and allows for unsustainable and damaging energy extraction. I suggest that spiritual activism is especially useful in this context because it illuminates the underlying philosophical differences that created clashes between Indigenous and European-Americans, and because it opens a way for members of groups with various Earth-based spiritual beliefs to move forward in concert.

ABSTRACT In the past few years, crowdsourcing has developed a reputation for its ability to ‘widen participation’ by engaging the public in archival practices or engage non-professionals as ‘citizen archivists’ to complete archival work. However, does public voting truly widen participation? If so, how? While public voting may appear to meet the aims of gathering many opinions for its ease of use and low barrier to participation, is it really a decent method to widen participation? And further, are the results of the public voting of use to potential users who engage with the results of a project? This paper reports on the use of public voting as a method to gather opinion for the Walk1916 mobile walking tour app, which was developed to enhance use of and access to digital content in archival collections.

ABSTRACT The Alto Cielo Archaeological Project is an interdisciplinary research project carried out between 2015 and 2019 in Ollagüe, an indigenous community located in the highlands of northern Chile. In this article, we explore the community members’ perceptions towards the recent past, assessing the temporality of industrial sites associated with sulphur mining in Ollagüe during the twentieth century. This article presents a preliminary collaborative approach based on consultation and research design, positing industrial ruins as a mechanism that could de-monopolize interpretations associated with the recent past of Ollagüe.

ABSTRACT Community or public archaeology acknowledges that there should be interaction between archaeologists and the general public. The nature of these relationships, however, are seldom considered in a direct manner. This article takes a phenomenological approach to the practice of archaeology with public interaction using an NSF-funded Informal Science Education (ISE) project as an example. Pre- and post-participation assessment showed that informal learning and a heterarchical relationship between scientist, research assistants, and the public leads to successful and efficient transmission of knowledge, skills, and scientific values, and inspires different levels of involvement. The experiences developed through the course of the project lead to the proposal of ‘Communal Archaeology’. ISE and a frame of mind open to learning from the public can bridge the gap between academia and communities. Sharing the tools of discovery gives communities the power to discover and share their own past, and consequently the will to protect it.

ABSTRACT We participated in the research of a post-emancipation African American site in Texas that involved a community outreach programme with local descendants. We worked with the descendant community in producing knowledge and defining project outcomes, both of which benefitted the research and raised the public visibility of black Texas history and archaeology. Based on our experiences, we discuss how cultural resource management (CRM) firms can play an important role in diversifying the profession, and in engendering a long-term commitment to public archaeology among their employees. There were challenges we encountered working within the context of CRM, including funding allocations and enlisting local descendants in the site excavation, yet we hope that this case study helps to promote community archaeology in future CRM projects.

ABSTRACT The practice of archaeology within the USA necessarily involves issues of sovereignty, multiple worldviews and colonialism. Archaeologists must acknowledge both the reality of colonialism's legacy as well as our role in either supporting or confronting that history, and consultation with indigenous communities is oftentimes the main (if not only) venue for interrogating this legacy. This article, written in a dialogic format, presents and explores the role of a government agency's consultation policy within this framework of colonialism and dual sovereignty. However, it also discusses the limitation of policies and identifies areas in which continued improvement is needed. This article provides insight into the issues that are in play within consultation, concerns that may not be expressed but nevertheless have an impact, and the broader issues that agency representatives must consider so that archaeologists may have a better understanding of the decisions made within consultation discussions.

ABSTRACT A recent Society for American Archaeology poll of Americans over the age of 18 revealed that while 93% of Americans believe that the ‘work archaeologists do is important,’ only half of Americans are willing to support an increase in federal funding for archaeological research. This article considers how archaeologists might work towards building archaeological constituencies to increase future voter support of archaeology. We argue that one method of reaching out to Americans is through intensive exposure to archaeology through an Archaeology STEM Camp aimed at high school students. We present the results and survey data from one such camp conducted in collaboration with local high school teachers, which reveal how a 2.5 day residential outreach programme can transform student perceptions of archaeology.
