Abstract

ABSTRACT Discovering Enfield Falls differs from many academic-managed heritage programmes that are top-down projects initiated by archaeologists. In it, planning originated with stakeholders determined to create a public history of a hamlet in New York (USA) which the state had demolished (in the early twentieth century) to create a park. This nineteenth-century hamlet had been both a commercial centre for farmers and a regional scenic tourist destination. Contemporary stakeholders did not need archaeologists to help them discover their history or to realize the heritage value of Enfield Falls. They needed archaeologists to collaborate with them to reveal the cultural landscape and history buried in the park to larger communities, both local and in the surrounding northeast region of the United States and Southeast Canada. This case study describes collaborations undertaken from 1998 to the present (fieldwork, museum exhibits, and more) by archaeologists, community members, and Cornell University archaeology service-learning students.

发现恩菲尔德瀑布:一个社区发起的考古遗产项目在伊萨卡，纽约

摘要发现恩菲尔德瀑布不同于许多由考古学家发起的自上而下的学术管理遗产项目。在其中，规划源于利益相关者，他们决心创造纽约（美国）一个小村庄的公共历史，该州在20世纪初拆除了这个小村庄，以创建一个公园。这个19世纪的小村庄曾是农民的商业中心和地区风景旅游目的地。当代利益相关者不需要考古学家来帮助他们发现自己的历史或实现恩菲尔德瀑布的遗产价值。他们需要考古学家与他们合作，向当地以及美国东北部和加拿大东南部周边的更大社区揭示公园中埋藏的文化景观和历史。本案例研究描述了考古学家、社区成员和康奈尔大学考古服务学习学生从1998年到现在进行的合作（实地调查、博物馆展览等）。

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.
