ABSTRACT
In this conclusion to the volume, Erve Chambers suggests that many aspects of archaeology are becoming increasingly dependent on working with a variety of public and private interests. While applied archaeology emerged largely as an effort to advance the particular interests and resources ofthe archaeological profession, a more truly public phase ofthe endeavors of archaeology is beginning, and archaeologists might now need to pay more attention to the concerns and well-being of other stakeholders, including those associated with the localities in which they work.
