Abstract
ABSTRACT On 22 February 2011, a devastating earthquake struck Christchurch, New Zealand. The damage wrought by the earthquakes has led to an extensive archaeological project in the city, which has generated a wealth of new archaeological data. Both authors have long associations with the city and this has left them carrying out the archaeology of their own community, an experience that comes with a range of challenges and opportunities. These challenges and opportunities relate to the scale of the work, community engagement and how archaeology can contribute to breaking down the myths associated with Christchurch’s identity and its past.
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.
