Abstract

Public engagement is becoming increasingly common practice in archaeological projects, capitalizing on the interactions of field archaeologists with local communities as well as with the descendants of the people under study, in a variety of ways: from the use of social media to engaging the local public with onsite presentations and exhibitions. However, public engagement efforts are often less robust when archaeologists return to their home institutions, with most of the researchers’ time and energies spent fulfilling their academic duties. Interactions between archaeologists and their local communities — those closer to their home institutions — are often minimal, creating insular university departments. To secure a future as a vibrant, relevant field of research, archaeology must develop greater interest and skill in engaging with its neighbours both within and outside the academy. The study of past meals and foodways provides an exceptional avenue for public outreach, which in turn is further enhanced through fruitful collaboration among various university departments and museums. Here we present the results of the multidisciplinary outreach project ‘Eating Archaeology’, designed with the intention of building collaborations across disciplines and a new narrative with which to engage the public.
饮食考古学:在公共宣传中试验食物
公众参与在考古项目中越来越普遍,利用现场考古学家与当地社区以及被研究者后代的互动,方式多种多样:从使用社交媒体到让当地公众参与现场展示和展览。然而,当考古学家回到他们的家乡时,公众参与的努力往往不那么有力,因为研究人员的大部分时间和精力都花在了履行学术职责上。考古学家和当地社区——那些离他们的家乡机构更近的社区——之间的互动往往很少,形成了孤立的大学系。为了确保未来成为一个充满活力、相关的研究领域,考古学必须培养更大的兴趣和技能,与学院内外的邻居接触。对过去饮食和饮食方式的研究为公众宣传提供了一条特殊的途径,而通过大学各部门和博物馆之间富有成效的合作,公众宣传又得到了进一步加强。在这里,我们展示了多学科外展项目“饮食考古”的成果,该项目旨在建立跨学科的合作,并为公众提供一种新的参与叙事。
