Abstract

During nearly five decades of working in public archaeology at Cahokia Mounds State Historic Site, I have witnessed and experienced the importance of public awareness of archaeology and American Indian cultures but also have seen the need to overcome stereotypes the public has about both. This has been accomplished at Cahokia Mounds through exhibits, public field schools, on- and off-site presentations, special events, lecture series, publications, social media, and events with Native American participation. I will review the philosophy and planning behind these various approaches and how they have evolved over the years.

卡霍基亚土丘国家历史遗址五十年的公众解读

在卡霍基亚丘州历史遗址从事公共考古工作的近五十年中，我目睹并经历了公众对考古学和美洲印第安文化意识的重要性，但也看到了克服公众对两者的刻板印象的必要性。这在卡霍基亚土丘通过展览、公共田野学校、现场和场外演讲、特别活动、系列讲座、出版物、社交媒体和印第安人参与的活动来实现。我将回顾这些不同方法背后的哲学和规划，以及它们多年来的演变。

期刊介绍： Archaeologies: Journal of the World Archaeological Congress offers a venue for debates and topical issues, through peer-reviewed articles, reports and reviews. It emphasizes contributions that seek to recenter (or decenter) archaeology, and that challenge local and global power geometries. Areas of interest include ethics and archaeology; public archaeology; legacies of colonialism and nationalism within the discipline; the interplay of local and global archaeological traditions; theory and archaeology; the discipline’s involvement in projects of memory, identity, and restitution; and rights and ethics relating to cultural property, issues of acquisition, custodianship, conservation, and display. Recognizing the importance of non-Western epistemologies and intellectual traditions, the journal publishes some material in nonstandard format, including dialogues; annotated photographic essays; transcripts of public events; and statements from elders, custodians, descent groups and individuals.
