ABSTRACT
In Chapter 13, we ended with an example from Tucson, Arizona, where stakeholders of all kinds had a voice in the excavation of a cemetery. Chapter 14 expands this narrative into the wider arena of what is loosely called Public Archaeology, or, to use another common term, Public Outreach. In recent years, public outreach has become a major concern for the sciences generally, and especially for archaeology, where communicating with the wider audience has become a high priority. As destruction of the past has accelerated, so the issue of stewardship has moved to center stage, for we are all stakeholders in the past. Here, we explore Public Archaeology, as it becomes increasingly involved with stakeholders, communities, and indigenous peoples.
