I argue that there is a prevailing version of heritage in this locality that constructs belonging in certain ways, excluding and marginalizing some on the basis of ‘social locations’ such as gender and race (Yuval-Davis 2006, 199). I identify this as a local manifestation of what is known as the ‘authorized heritage discourse’ (AHD) (Smith 2006), through which hegemonic concepts prevalent at state and national levels such as commemorations of white colonization, play out at the local level. I explore how this dominant discourse creates an ambiguity and dissonance in my attachment to place, further problematized by my status as a white Australian, making me a reluctant beneficiary of the colonial enterprise.","PeriodicalId":52158,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Community Archaeology and Heritage","volume":"7 1","pages":"54 - 72"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/20518196.2019.1678812","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49430663","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Museum asset transfer has increased since austerity policies were introduced in the UK following the global economic crisis. I offer a two-part introduction to museum asset transfer. Part 1 is a timeline of policies and political developments informing museum asset transfer, answering the question ‘how did we get to where we are now?’ In Part 2, with reference to interviews and ethnographically informed data taken from my PhD research into this topic, I identify common challenges experienced by local government employees and community members during the asset transfer process. The article concludes with a reflective discussion of the negotiation of my own positionality within the research, specifically the question of how to translate research findings on policy-related topics into publications and initiatives devised for non-academic audiences.","PeriodicalId":52158,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Community Archaeology and Heritage","volume":"7 1","pages":"77 - 92"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/20518196.2019.1688265","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44119409","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Appalachians are the homogenous, white ‘Other’ in a backward land of isolated hillbillies living in opposition to the American mainstream. Such characterizations have been revitalized since the 2016 election to explain Appalachia's ‘cycle of self-inflicted ills,’ to justify exploitation, and to obfuscate underlying structural factors. Archaeologists in Appalachia have unique input about its materiality, identity, and economies, inexplicably linked with industrialism in complicated relationships of identity, despair, hope, and pride and impacted by the legacy of coal extraction. Archaeologists must add our voice to global discussions of Appalachia's past and future. Critical regional studies of company coal-mining towns across Appalachian Kentucky demonstrate archaeology's potential to challenge persistent narratives with contemporary consequences through artefacts and oral histories, and suggests economic strategies adapted from historic ones to aid Appalachia's just transition post-coal.","PeriodicalId":52158,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Community Archaeology and Heritage","volume":"8 1","pages":"7 - 25"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/20518196.2019.1676985","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48195870","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

So much is happening right now, and we are excited to announce an issue full of insightful and thought-provoking reflections and papers. First, however, we need to share some news about both staff and journal management. First, Suzie and Carol are delighted to welcome Sarah De Nardi as a new Co-Editor of JCAH. Sarah’s commitment to the ethics of collaboration and decolonization has meshed well with JCAH since our beginning – indeed, her contribution to our inaugural issue arguably set the tone for the journal’s approach since then, and she has been a terrific Assistant Editor for several years as well. Welcome, Sarah! Our next news is sad, however –it is with heavy hearts that Carol and Sarah announce the impending departure of Founding Co-editor Suzie Thomas from the editorial helm, as of the end of 2019. We are very sad to see Suzie go – she has been the major force behind the journal from the initial proposal that led to its creation. We are incredibly proud of Suzie’s many accomplishments, even though they are understandably pulling her away from the heavy workload that journal leadership requires. Although she will step away from her Co-Editor role soon, she will join the Editorial Board and continue to have an important role in JCAH development. In a final piece of sad news, we are also reluctantly bidding farewell to our Assistant Editor, Kaeleigh Herstad. We are deeply indebted to Kaeleigh for her energy, enthusiasm and professionalism, as well as her excellent editorial skills, and we will miss her. Happily, however, she too will be joining our Editorial Board. We wish Suzie and Kaeleigh the best in their future endeavours! Finally, especially with these changes at the helm, we are extremely grateful that team members John Jameson, James Gibb, Marta Lorenzon, and Rick Bonnie will remain as Assistant Editors. We also have news about a technical aspect of journal management which may be in place by the time you read these words. We are soon transitioning to using our publisher’s automated ‘Editorial Manager’ (EM) system for journal submissions. This system, used by many international journals, will, we hope, help us to manage our increasingly robust submission rate, and enable us to move papers through the pipeline more efficiently than is possible with the current manual system. This transition will be challenging, in part because of the deeply collaborative nature of our editorauthor interactions, driven in turn by our mandate to include many varied voices in our pages. We are determined to marry our particular hands-on approach with an automated computer submission system, and our publisher is patiently helping us figure out how we can ‘have it both ways’! We can now move on to this final issue of 2019, which includes a selection of papers and reflections that explore the spectrum of humanity and compassion through the lens of archaeological and historical in","PeriodicalId":52158,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Community Archaeology and Heritage","volume":"6 1","pages":"233 - 234"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/20518196.2019.1670392","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49201433","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The unique challenges of working within postindustrial landscapes and in collaboration with the communities that live in and connect to them remain thinly explored and demand greater attention. Understanding the heritage-making process within postindustrial communities is crucial to developing broadly meaningful definitions of the heritage value of such places and must also extend beyond limited, linear narratives of industrial expansion and decline. This special series combines contributions from archaeologists, historians, and heritage scholars drawn from both academic and professional backgrounds for a broad look at current research taking place in postindustrial contexts, highlighting their variety and seeking to draw out common characteristics. The series was inspired by a two-part paper session of the same name presented at the 51st annual conference of the Society for Historical Archaeology in New Orleans in January 2018. The strong response to the call for presenters required two sessions to accommodate, and discussants Melissa Baird and April Beisaw concluded the sessions with a pair of stimulating syntheses. The success of the session inspired the authors to continue this discussion as a special series within the Journal of Community Archaeology and Heritage, with a selection of papers from the original session presented here in published form. As in the conference session that inspired the present series, each of our contributors responds to a pair of key questions: What kinds of distinct challenges do postindustrial landscapes and communities pose to academic and professional archaeologists and heritage scholars? How can engagement and collaboration with the community make archaeology relevant in postindustrial places? A few common themes are immediately apparent. Our contributors each work within a postindustrial traumascape (Tumarkin 2005), a landscape ‘marked by traumatic legacies of violence, suffering and loss’, that has formed as a result of processes of deindustrialization and / or environmental damage and natural disaster. In each paper, the authors identify a complex heritage that serves to both inform community identity and underpin contemporary struggles to engage with and manage the material and socio-cultural legacies of an industrial past that ‘continues to inhabit and refashion the present’ (Tumarkin 2005, 49–50). While the specific themes central to this heritage may differ between papers – they include race, labour conflict, urban renewal, creative destruction, natural disasters, or the cessation of resource extraction – all of them revolve around processes of deindustrialization a","PeriodicalId":52158,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Community Archaeology and Heritage","volume":"6 1","pages":"235 - 237"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/20518196.2019.1670394","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42416579","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We discuss the advantages and disadvantages of working with community volunteers. Due to our direct responsibility for supervising the volunteers and all the archaeological aspects of these projects, we are able to analyse their success and delivery, and the benefits and drawbacks of using the HLF for project funding. This includes how they regulate access to funding, and how they evaluate the process.

The carousels were a gift from George F. Johnson, the Chief Executive Officer of Endicott–Johnson Corporation (EJ) during the twentieth century. They represent a material remnant of a prosperous, idealised past in a deindustrialized landscape. The welfare capitalism of Johnson and EJ dominate the nostalgic, collective memory of Binghamton. Archaeologists and heritage professionals are highly distrustful of the emotion of nostalgia and its sentimental, idealized images of the past. However, nostalgia can lead to critical reflection on the contemporary struggles deindustrialized communities face within capitalism and neoliberal relations. In Binghamton, nostalgia for the security and benefits offered through the Square Deal of George F. Johnson and EJ carries implicit and explicit criticism of contemporary conditions. Archaeologists need to take critical aspects of nostalgia seriously and build on insights from these memories in heritage programming.","PeriodicalId":52158,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Community Archaeology and Heritage","volume":"6 1","pages":"272 - 282"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-08-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/20518196.2019.1653517","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41597355","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The impact of economic, social, and urban development efforts on both tangible and intangible heritage complicate our attempts to understand these places. Despite this, integrating heritage practice and promotion into the regeneration of a postindustrial landscape continues to grow in popularity. Within this context, genuine public-expert collaboration is the most effective means towards developing a sustainable compromise between protecting community heritage values and fostering economic development and regeneration. In this paper, we suggest three broad categories of challenges for studying and promoting heritage in postindustrial regions – physical, social, and political – and propose a digital data-focused geospatial approach to how community archaeologists and heritage specialists may overcome these challenges. We argue that coupling this data and technology with a robust research agenda and public programming can serve as a crucial two-way link, enabling long-term sustainable heritage-promotion and protection in post-industrial communities.","PeriodicalId":52158,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Community Archaeology and Heritage","volume":"6 1","pages":"238 - 256"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-08-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/20518196.2019.1653516","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44383802","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
