Lilly Hodges - Community archaeology -- The attitudes and approaches of commercial archaeologists
The paper I am proposing is based upon my completed Community Archaeology MA dissertation, 'A critical analysis of how the attitudes and approaches towards community
archaeology by those employed in commercial archaeology may impact upon its implementation in the sector.'
I propose to discuss the following points:
- The identification of four key aspects of the attitudes and approaches of commercial archaeologists as social, political, economic and professionalism -- and how these relate to one another;
- The affects/impacts of these upon the implementation of community archaeology;
- The findings of a pilot questionnaire to determine current attitudes and approaches towards community archaeology in the commercial sector;
- How these attitudes and approaches are set to be defining factors in determining the future of community archaeology in the commercial sector;
As a new area of research understanding how the attitudes and approaches towards community archaeology impact upon its implementation can assist us as professionals with understanding if we are on the right track when practising/implementing community archaeology projects This study has focused upon the commercial sector, however the research can be adapted and applied to other areas of archaeology.
