Executive Summary
US DOI Bureau of Reclamation (BOR) grant monies facilitated
public outreach about archaeological resources by seeding
technical support for a major, web-based, public archaeology
resource developed by the Society for American Archaeology
(SAA). Entitled Archaeology for the public, this new resource is
comprised of a vast set of informational web pages coordinated
and maintained by the Web Pages Working Group of the SAA
Public Education Committee. In using the cost effective reach of
the Internet, and by employing a navigational strategy designed to
meet the needs of non-professional audiences, Archaeology for
the public shares a vast amount of archaeological information
while communicating the commitment of the archaeology
discipline to its many publics.
The US DOI BOR contribution seeded partial technical support for
the hypertext development of this new resource within
cyberspace. This critical support was in turn leveraged with (a)
content (or web page information) contributed (to date) by more
than 177 individuals (namely archaeologists, archaeology
educators, and archaeologically-interested members of the public)
and (b) technical development and content coordination
performed by the PEC Web Pages Working Group—constituting
(to date) more than 8000 hours of volunteered service— and by
the SAA Manager of Public Education as part of SAA staff duties.
This new resource is now live at the SAA society web site
(SAAWeb) at URLs http://archaeology.saa.org and (mirrored at)
www.saa.org/public. This public archaeology education and
outreach resource presently contains 53.2 MB of information
organized under 33 topic headings and subheadings for a total of,
so far, 282 web pages of original and coordinated content,
including 78 pdfs.

Introduction
US Department of the Interior Bureau of Reclamation grant assistance to
Society for American Archaeology public education efforts (2001-2006)
provided partial technical support for the development of Archaeology for
the public. This new, web-based, SAA resource provides a significant
amount of information about archaeology to the general public while
communicating the commitment of the archaeology profession to its
publics. The following reports on the rationale for this project and the
methodologies pursued in the development of this vast set of
informational web pages.
Included here are details about the targeted audiences for this resource,
the design plan and its implementation, the evaluation and oversight
procedures created and active (in place), and the announcement strategy
to promote the resource at the time of its launch at SAAWeb (the Society
for American Archaeology society web pages). A short research summary
of what has been learned from this project is included as the development
and maintenance of this project is providing important insight into how
Public Archaeology as a sub-field of professional practice is being
informed and transformed by the hyperspace medium. This report
concludes with brief comments looking toward the future role of
Archaeology for the public as a medium for sharing archaeological
information with the public.
I. PURPOSE AND INTENT OF THE SAA PUBLIC WEB PAGES PROJECT
A.
Meeting SAA Outreach and Education Needs
The public has long had more than a passing interest in archaeological
sites, archaeologists, and archaeological methods for studying the past.
Moreover, archaeological research and preservation initiatives ultimately
depend on public support making engaging the public an important
concern for archaeology practioners. Actively engaging the public as part
of stewardship development and information sharing is both a principle of
ethical practice (Stewardship [Principle No. 1] and Public Education and
Outreach [Principle No. 4], SAA Principles of Archaeological Ethics 1996;
Lynott and Wylie 1995) and a new an exponentially growing subfield of
6
practice (Earthscan: James and James Publishers [2002], Florida Public
Archaeology Network 2007; SAA Excellence in Public Education Award
Committee [Jeppson] 2005a, SAA Public Education Committee 2005b;
McDavid 2002:2).
The SAA, through the work of its Public Education Committee (the PEC),
has launched Archaeology for the public to help bridge archaeology’s
disciplinary ideals and everyday practice with the public’s needs and
interests.
1. Creating An Economic and Friendly Interface With the Public
The Archaeology for the public web pages form part of the ‘public face’ of
SAA and the profession of archaeology as a whole acting as a major
interface between the discipline and archaeology’s many different publics.
They are a society-based education feature in that they, in practice, help
form how everybody/anybody in cyber-space ‘sees’ the discipline,
including SAA as a professional organization. Concurrently,
archaeological professionals (in the SAA membership and beyond) take
away from this society resource an understanding of how practioners
professionally interact with archaeology’s public(s) at large.
2. Promoting Stewardship of Archaeological Resources
In using the cost effective reach of the Internet, and by employing a
navigational strategy designed to meet the needs of non-professional
audiences, Archaeology for the public forms a major place of contact with
both the friend and, importantly, the foe of archaeology helping to
promote public stewardship (protection) of archaeological resources to all.
B.
Meeting the Needs of Identified Audiences With Vetted Information
1. Targeted ‘Outside’ Audiences
Archaeology does not have just one public. There are many, and varied,
publics for archaeological information. These web pages introduce
archaeology and provide content and resources to both neophytes and
those already holding a deeper understanding of archaeology. In other
words, they constitute a resource for the young and the mature; the lesser
educated, being educated, and very educated; the passive and active
audience (or captive and non-captive web user) -- meaning those directed
by a class exercise or other need to find archaeology information and
those seeking out the world of archaeology willingly; and, of the later,
those with a casual interest and those with a serious passion for
archaeology.
..

Identified Audiences
for Public Archaeology Information
· Native Americans with heritage concerns
· K-12 Teachers with education needs
· Retired couples looking up 'travel options
and volunteer opportunities
· College Students seeking graduate
program information
· Individuals (foreign and U.S.) seeking
heritage listings
· Scouts working towards the Boy Scout
Archaeology Badge
· Home Schooling families
· Tourists seeking heritage tourism
destinations…
· Individuals seeking second career options
· Major News and Entertainment Outfits
(print/TV/Magazine/film industry) seeking
reference material and contact numbers for
experts
· Looters/collectors
· Professional colleagues (Historians,
Geographers, Museum Professionals, etc.)
· Avocationalists
· Women and Men seeking second career
options
· archaeology volunteers
· Legislators (or more likely their staffs)
writing environmental bills
· Open Space Advocates, "Smart Growth”
supporters,
· Archaeology Conservancy Members
· Clients of CRM (building designers
contractors, land developers,
mining companies, etc.) who don't
understand the process they are obliged to
conform to
· Potential clients of CRM (people in the
permitting process seeking lists of qualified
professionals
· Site descendants
· Land owners curious and/or concerned
about the archaeological process
· Students researching jobs for Career Day
· Incarcerated Readers
· Heritage Tour Operators
· Individuals who have 'discovered' a site
and are turning to the professionals for
information about what to do
· Interpreters
· Computer Gaming Developers
Members of these publics that
search (i.e., ‘Google’), surf to, or
navigate (within) these web
pages find content that explains
‘what it is that archaeologists do’,
‘why archaeologists do what they
do’, and ‘how archaeologists do
what they do’. The page content
also shares with members of the
public ‘how they can best
participate in and enjoy the study
of the past while protecting our
cultural heritage resources’.
2. Targeted ‘Insider’ Audiences
Also targeted as audiences with
these web pages are professional
archaeologists worldwide
(including the 10,000+
practitioners in the Americas
alone), and archaeology
educators (formally-trained
educators, environmental
specialists, and heritage
interpreters). Both of these
groups deal with archaeology's
various publics on a regular basis
and seek advice and resources to
assist in their efforts.
In short, Archaeology for the
public is an intentional doubleentendre, in that it refers to two
different types of content included
in the public pages: One type of
content includes information
about archaeology for a diversity
of publics. The other is Public
Archaeology information for
archaeology practioners who wish
to communicate with these
diverse publics.
· Professional Archaeologists
· Archaeology Educators

II. THE DEVELOPMENT PROCESS
A. Preliminary Research and Creation of a Design Plan
1. Content Area Design
Content and navigation are the first, most important, issues to address for
any web site—and as this is an archaeological web site assisting the
profession’s practioners to meet ethical practices, design decisions
needed to be made by archaeologists, not by web site designers with little
or no knowledge of the discipline. In this particular instance, decisions
made for these web pages represent both our profession's and our
professional society's aims and practices to the public at large.
As would be expected with any good web site, content will continue be
added. For the purpose of these pages, content will necessarily grow in
an organic fashion, expanding as Public Archaeology as a field of practice
expands and evolves — as new ideas arise, as new ‘best examples’
emerge, as new controversies grip archaeology, and as new publics are
identified. Therefore these SAA public web pages never can and never
will be ‘completely finished’.
These web pages were launched at the SAA server, as part of SAAWeb
at www.saa.org/public and http://archaeology.saa.org, only after a
sufficient mass of content was available to begin adequately serving our
publics. This content includes long term (enduring) page content and
short term, rotating (e.g., news and events) content. This short-term
information was previously (since the early 1990s) collected and
distributed by SAA under the SAA PEC print and (then) e-newsletter,
A&PE [Archaeology and Public Education]. This SAA PEC resource has
now folded into this public web pages resource.
Phase I of this project – supported in part by US DOI BOR grant monies,
and completed and live on the Internet at SAAWeb in August of 2006 -involved development and implementation of the web pages navigation
design plan and the posting of a minimum amount of page content to
begin serving our publics. Phase II, now underway, involves posting
additional long term content, including an additional 300 pages of created
and gathered formal educational resources, and the updating of short
term content.
..
..
..
..
..
2. Navigation Plan Development
The design decisions forming the basis for these public web pages began
with the efforts of more than 30 SAA members who attended a Public
Education Committee Retreat in the spring of 2001 (April 16-18, in New
Orleans). The goal of the Retreat was to develop a new strategic plan for
meeting the Committee's mandate of "promoting awareness about and
concern for the study of past cultures and to engage people in the
preservation and protection of heritage resources” (SAA PEC [Lehrner]
2001). Drawing on topics of concern that the PEC regularly considers and
responds to, these Retreat attendees generated a large and inclusive set
of ideas that were likewise useful for a resource taking advantage of the
cyberspace medium. With this foundation in place, the SAA, with financial
assistance from the Bureau of Reclamation (specifically, the US DOI BOR
Cultural Resources Management Program) funded a working weekend
session for a newly formed PEC Internet Work Group (re’ Web Pages
Working Group), which first met in the fall of 2001. The four SAA PEC
members who attended this working weekend session were either
publicly-engaged archaeologists or archaeological educators. Guidance
was provided remotely by the SAA Manager of Public Education and
Outreach.
The main task of this intensive working session was to develop a design
plan for a set of informational web pages—not to create content, but
rather to create a link hierarchy which would be able to easily incorporate
new content over time. (A forthcoming, second part of the development
process would involve collating and organizing and posting any extant
materials viable as page content along with any new content gathered.)
In preparation for the working session, each Web Pages Working Group
member queried educators and other members of the public that they,
respectively, already engaged as part of their own practice in order to find
out what various publics thought they wanted and/or needed from a set of
public archaeological web pages. The design team also surveyed and
sampled many extant web sites to supplement both the archaeologydirected focus of the content and the gathered interview and survey data.
These previewed sites included, but were not limited to, those of the
National Initiative For a Networked Cultural Heritage (Best Practices in
Networking Cultural Heritage), Webby Award/Community Choice and
Internet Industry Best of the Web sites, and the public pages of parallel
professional societies such as the American Historical Association and
the American Association for the Advancement of Science. Also
examined were public archaeology sites with a strong record of use as a
public resource such as the archaeology page at Independence National
Historical Park and archaeology at about.com. In addition, general
community-based, resource web sites were consulted such as
10
the Business Industry Journal selection for "most successful communitycentered web site" (the fan site for the Washington Capitals sports team).
While appearing unorthodox at first glance, this latter proved a useful
model given SAA's aim of building a community of public stewards that
will work with archaeologists to safeguard the past.
The link hierarchy that emerged was developed during this working
session which was three long days of lively, frequently heated, discussion
(to say that the process was intense—even grueling—is not overstating it,
as anyone who has experienced this type of collaborative design
workshop will know). The results were presented (McDavid et al. 2002) to
the SAA PEC Chair, who apprised the SAA Board of the design plan at
the general board meeting in April of 2002. The information was made
widely available to the SAA Public Education Committee members for
review, comment, and suggestions.
3. Design Implementation
After approval by the PEC and the SAA Board, work to implement the
Design Plan ensued. Using US DOI BOR grant funds, a technical web
consultant was hired to construct a working prototype of the Design Plan,
with the aim of achieving a reasonable balance between attractiveness
and usability. Given the assumption that these pages will be accessed by
members of various non-archaeological publics (including students of all
ages) they were designed to be more user-friendly, colorful, and
graphically interesting than the corporate, managerial style that
distinguishes the rest of the archaeology society’s, member-directed, web
presence. Because these public pages will also be information-driven,
however, our directive to the web design consultant was to avoid
burdening the site with flashing animations, loud colors, confusing page
layouts, and distracting graphics. Instead, NPS-style web pages, aiming
for broadest (i.e., lowest common denominator) technological parameters,
were implemented. The idea throughout this development was that, while
the use of a technical consultant was an essential part of implementing
the proposed design, final decisions about how to utilize both
technological features and graphics needed to rest with the
archaeologists.
The Web Pages Working Group developed a very reciprocal and active
relationship with the web design consultant—the site was not simply
farmed out. By early 2003, a prototype of the link hierarchy was ready to
be shown to members of the PEC (which was done via the PEC listserv)
as well as to sample segments of various publics. All were asked to
review a selection of different template layouts for the page navigation
(Figure 1), and their input allowed a final prototype to be finalized that
could, in turn, be ‘fleshed out’ with content.

B. Content Development
1. Theory, Methodology, Method and Technique
After designing the navigation plan, the Web Pages Working Group
began to solicit and coordinate content to “put flesh on the navigation
skeleton”. Contributions were gathered from archaeologists as well as
members of various publics who use archaeology in various ways. From
this start, as the page content was collected, it began to reshape the link
hierarchy (page navigation) in a transparent and hermeneutic process
that continues today: At any given time, the pages’ contents represent
what our colleagues currently do with their publics and, equally, what our
publics are already doing with archaeology.
This project’s contents are dependent on, and based in, collaborations
across and between professional societies, across professions, and
between professionals and multiple publics. (One example: the thousands
of hours of service volunteered by two members of the Web Pages
Working Group comes courtesy of two professional societies, the SAA
(PEC) and the Society for Historical Archaeology (Public Education and
Interpretation Committee or PEIC). Combined, conjoined, and
cooperative content exchanges for page content are arranged with,
among many other sources, the Society for Historical Archaeology Public
Education and Interpretation Committee, the Foundation for the
Advancement of Mesoamerican Studies’ lesson plan development
(FAMSI), the Smithsonian Institution Anthropology Outreach Office,
archaeology at about.com, BRAVO (Battlefield Restoration and
Archaeological Volunteer Organization), the Georgia Council of
Professional Archaeologists, Center for Archaeology in the Baltimore
County Public Schools, the National Park Service Archeology Program,
SRI Foundation, and the AAA K-12 Anthropology and Education listserv.
12
This collaborative strategy maximizes strengths and limits costly
reproduction and reinvention. In practice, this collaboration has also
served to help clarify the state of Public Archaeology as archaeological
outreach aims and goals vary among US professional societies and US
outreach differs from that found in other regional practices—for instance,
the Near East, Europe and Southern Africa. For example, reflecting the
science orientation of the processual archaeology tradition, prehistory
outreach is often rich in resources about archaeology’s methods and
methodology. Historical archaeology and Near Eastern archaeology on
the other hand, dealing as they do with broader history issues and
multiple descendant communities, tend to have a social studies focus.
Meanwhile, the main established materials currently available stem from
federal agency mandates and help meet archaeology’s important
stewardship goal, while a rapidly evolving and exponentially growing subspecialty of academic scholarship based in post-processual theoretical
frameworks is contributing many new resources aimed at meeting the
public’s needs—for example, subjects already taught in K-12th grade
education or specific descendant communities.
In addition, these pages incorporate a significant amount of existing
public outreach now being produced by non-archaeologist avocationalists
and also by formally trained educators who have contributed significantly
and substantively to Public Archaeology.
Content is also contributed from the leadership of the SAA including, to
date, the SAA President (2005) and the Chair and members of the SAA
Ethics Committee, Council of Affiliated Societies, Excellence in Public
Education Award Committee, and the Committee on the Americas.
Content, guidance, and assistance has come as well from the SAA Staff,
including the Executive Director and the Public Education, Membership
and Marketing, Government Affairs, and Publications Managers.
Throughout the development of this project, the aim has been not to try to
meet the content needs of every potential audience for archaeology, but
rather to create a resource that will accommodate (grow and expand) as
the area of practice known as “Public Archaeology” grows and expands.
This forward-thinking strategy is also a necessity because content does
not yet exist to support outreach for many of archaeology’s identified
audiences.
Original design decisions for this project began with more than 30 SAA
PEC members who identified topics of concern that the PEC regularly
considers and responds to (Heritage tourists, site descendants, metal
detectorists, legislators, school educators, avocationalists, land owners,
journalists and bottle hunters, etc.) In some cases, there existed valuable
information on SAAWeb and elsewhere for some of these previously
..
..
..
..
..
identified audiences. Rather than redevelop and reinvent the wheel
(wasting precious resources) this project has imported these existing
resources making pre- and non-web-based materials web-based, and
linking to extant content in other locations so as to maximize (further
extend the reach of) the resources of others. This strategy serves to
expand the offerings of the SAA public web pages without increasing SAA
web server volume or Web Page Working Group management duties.
As a result, Archaeology for the public functions as a vital clearing-house,
or major portal, for individuals in search of information, including
archaeologists. In doing so, the SAA continues to support the Goals and
Objectives for Coordinating Archaeology and Education set in place in
1991 in partnership with the Society for Historical Archaeology and the
American Anthropological Association (Education and Archaeology Work
Group 1991).
2.
Content Topics
The page content posted at Archaeology for the public is organized
under 33 headings and subheadings. (See the Site Map in Appendix II.)
Information is provided about, among other topics, advocacy
organizations, local and regional avocational societies, field schools,
archaeology education coordinators [contacts] in each state, archaeology
in books, movies and television, and video games, recent news and
events, laws and ethics, metal detecting, and much more. Selected
(public-friendly) Archaeology Web Sites of Interest are indexed
geographically and by historical topic. There are also more than 20
brochures, fliers, and fact sheets posted in pdf format for easy
downloading.
Selective links lead to many existing archaeology web resources hosted
elsewhere in cyberspace such as archeology blogs, pod casts, and
streaming video. Each such link is reviewed for public-friendliness and is
annotated: Archaeology for the public is not merely a ‘list of links’.
One example of off-site linking is State Archaeology Month/Week
program information which constitutes the longest running and most
widely organized outreach undertaking with 30+ states highlighting their
archaeological resources. After more than a decade based at NPS, the
clearing-house for State Archaeology Week/Month information has now
moved to the SAA Archaeology for the public web pages. Off-site linking
and original content (contributed by SAA PEC and SHA PEIC members)
provides direct links to State-by-State Archaeology Month/Week web
14
pages and provides professional archaeologists and archaeology educators
with background information and suggestions for undertaking Archaeology
Week/Month endeavors such as Archaeology Month Activities and Tips on
Poster production -- How is a poster created? Funded?, Designed? and
Distributed? (http://www.saa.org/public/resources/StateArchMonth.html). A
major element of this program, also the most costly, is the beautiful and
informative Archaeology Month poster, thousands of which are sent to
schools, libraries, museums, and government offices in each participating
state. These past state posters, which are year-specific and hence ‘expire’,
are being given a second life illustrating page content at Archaeology for
the public. This includes archaeology travel destinations in a heritage
tourism section (see Figure 2).
Figure 2: Archaeology Month Poster reprised to illustrate a portion of the web
pages detailing Archaeological Web Sites of Interest and Heritage Tourism
Destinations (<http://www.saa.org/public/links/PAWebSitesSoUS.html>).
Elsewhere at these web pages, cross-linking with other extant content
helps the professional archaeology community promote videos, web
pages, and walking tours developed as part of cultural resource
mitigation. In doing this, these web pages help ensure that creative
mitigation products do not end up sitting in repositories like the grey
literature they are meant to replace.
..
..
..
..
..
A major area of page content is directed at K-12th grade educators
(http://www.saa.org/public/resources/foredu.html). This includes a major
unit (being posted now as part of Phase II content) that is designed by the
SAA Manager of Public Education and Outreach and Staff at the
Smithsonian Institution Anthropology Outreach Office. This new resource
uses archaeology content and critical thinking skills to help
captivate, galvanize and reinforce student interest in reading, writing,
research, analysis, public speaking and advanced technology skills.
All posted education content at Archaeology for the public involves input
from K-12th grade educators (on the content that is designed for them
and their students). Just as archaeologists do not wish to see educators
digging sites, educators are not interested in lesson plans written by noneducators and typically archaeologists do take on this task with little
background in educational epistemology. To redress this imbalance,
educators contribute lesson plans and help index the pages for search
engines (i.e., Google) using non-archaeological frames of reference. This
is desirable as non-archaeologists will not necessarily use the same
search terms archaeologists would when looking for information they
need. (For a sample of Feedback comments from educators, see
Appendix IV.)
US DOI BOR grant funds have been applied for scanning existing lesson
plan resources for use at the education-focused section of these web
pages. This action involves utilizing character recognition software to
reproduce lesson plans (with their original formatting) in the educatorfriendly, downloadable format (as ftp, or formal transfer protocol files).
A vast amount of information for assisting insider professional audiences
in their outreach efforts is posted under the “For Archaeologists” section
at Archaeology for the public. Among many other helpful resources are
Guidelines for Organizing a Public Session, tips for writing for the public,
examples of CRM reports in narrative form for public consumption, media
press release templates, links to on-line Interpretation courses, evaluation
rubrics, and information on an available traveling SAA exhibit
(http://www.saa.org/public/forArchaeologists/outreach_to_public.html;
http://www.saa.org/public/forArchaeologists/outreach_to_media.html; and
http://www.saa.org/public/forArchaeologists/Elected.html). There is also
an evolving and exponentially growing area dedicated to resources
related to scholarly research on, and professional development in Public
Archaeology – e.g., a historiography, annotated bibliographies, course
syllabis (<http://www.saa.org/public/forArchaeologists/
outreach_to_public.html#3>).

Oversight: Ensuring Ethical, Peer-Reviewed, Public-Friendly
and Field-Tested Web Pages
All page content posted at Archaeology for the public is gathered and
coordinated by the SAA PEC Web Pages Working Group, all of whose
members conduct scholarly research and are engaged in practice within
the subfield of Public Archaeology and who are arguably leading scholars
in this area the archaeology discipline. (See the preparatory biographical
information for Working Group members and the SAA Manager of Public
Education and Outreach at http://www.saa.org/public/about/webbios.html.
Content contributions to date (as of May 2007) have come from 177
publicly-active archaeologists and archaeologically interested members of
the public (http://www.saa.org/public/about/contributors.html). (See
Appendix 1 for a list of content contributors). Importantly, the hypertext
nature of cyberspace dictates the development of these web pages
(indeed all web page): The contributed content to Archaeology for the
public is not SAA content and is therefore not viable for traditional SAA
print publication editorial review protocols. As part of the hypertext
environment, this contributed content is pre-existing, ‘completed product’
that SAA merely accesses by linking to the material (mainly) at its original
place of origin (i.e., extant content published/posted elsewhere).
Editorial oversight exists in the hypertext environment but it is keyed to,
determined by, and restricted to, page theme choices (the topics
presented) and the selection process for determining the supporting page
content, only. The texts (themselves) that are accessed to support the
SAA Archaeology for the public web pages themes are already edited
per the guidelines of their creating entities. This already-existing content
is either imported and posted in its original state as a fully referenced
portable document format (pdf) file or, more commonly, is content linked
to, as it already exists, at its live location.
As with any other SAA publication academic freedom standards apply: In
the selection of the ‘linked to’ content there is inclusiveness of differences
of opinion. Likewise, ethical standards remain always as the baseline
criteria for acceptance.
Important note: In cyberspace there is no way, legal or otherwise, to
preclude unwanted entities from linking to an existing web page.
However, for the purpose of archaeology education and outreach, this
web pages project welcomes, indeed hopes for, archaeology’s foes to link
to Archaeology for the public — so that they receive clear, unequivocal,
authoritative, explanations about cultural resource loss due to looting, so
that they gain an awareness of state and national preservation laws, and
so that they can learn archaeologically recommended ways of
participating responsibly in the study of the past.
..
..
..
..
..
Copyright standards as well as intellectual property rights and protocols
are established for cyberspace and the Archaeology for the public web
pages project complies both with these legally recognized structures and
with more informal, common courtesies of the cyber-community. At no
time is SAA legally responsible for content that is merely linked to from
Archaeology for the public. At no time is SAA ethically or legally
responsible for entities who choose to link to Archaeology for the public.
Indeed, this latter can not be monitored nor marshaled and, as explained
above, preclusion is not desirable given the educational outreach mission
of this project.
SAA is ethically responsible for the themes presented on these web
pages (which represent informed PEC decisions) and SAA is ethically
responsible for the selection of the links to already existing content -- but
SAA is neither ethically nor legally responsible for the linked to content
itself. Link decisions are evaluated by the PEC Web Pages Working
Group whose members are both highly and uniquely qualified to evaluate
‘best examples’ of linked to content. (See preparatory biographical
information for the Web Pages Working Group and the SAA Manager of
Public Education and Outreach at http://www.saa.org/public/about/
webbios.html).
Before going live, all contributed, prospective, web page content is
reviewed thoughtfully by several people. Members of the PEC Web
Pages Working Group and the SAA Manager of Education and Outreach
coordinate and review all page content, and, on a case-by-case basis,
may send some proposed content to additional reviewers. For example,
people who do historical archaeology outreach might be asked to look at
content about historical archaeology outreach, and so on. For more
sensitive proposed content—the specifics of which are unpredictable, but
it is assumed that sensitive issues are likely to arise— the PEC chair and,
if appropriate, the PEC Board Liaison and then the Ethics Committee will
be asked to review content per the oversight procedures created and
active (in place) for this project. The assumption is that sensitive issues
could arise within any content area—whether the content is creative,
factual, or both.
Rigorous peer review to date includes what has turned out to be one of
the most important sections of these public web pages, Frequently Asked
Questions. This content, informed by literally thousands of letters, phone
calls, and emails (to the SAA Manager of Public Education and
Outreach), is interesting for what it has revealed about archaeology and
archaeologists: Notably, review feedback by colleagues about this portion
of these web pages has indicated that the archaeologist’s and
archaeological educator’s perception of what the public wants to know
about archaeology overlaps with, but does not fully correlate with, the
18
requests for information that the society receives; this is one of several
areas in which data is being gathered for analysis as a research
component of this project.
An important part of the content gathering and review stage involves
getting input from formally trained educators on the content elements
designed for teachers and their students. One of our primary assumptions
is that educational agendas are different from archaeological ones—not
mutually exclusive by any means, but not the same. Therefore content
developed for and with educators must meet educational needs
(curricula, pedagogical concepts, age-appropriateness, language, etc.),
not just archaeological ones (discouraging looting, encouraging
stewardship, etc.). One high priority is making educator-directed
information accessible —and, more importantly, printable, with original
formatting — as Adobe PDF files.
All aspects of these web pages designed by the Web Pages Working
Group —navigation/link hierarchy, template design, main and secondary
index page text, etc. — has been (and continues to be) peer-reviewed
and also field-tested to assess for public-friendliness. (See related
material in Appendix IV). Submitted (coordinated) content is likewise
assessed for public-friendliness (by the Web Page Working Group
members) before being posted. (See notes on evaluation issues for these
pages in Appendix IV.)
Visitors to these web pages are encouraged to comment and submit
queries and or content. We welcome ideas and ask everyone and anyone
to forward their suggestions and contributions for making this a more
successful public resource.
Lastly, the hyperspace context allows for proactive, engaged, assessment
and evaluation as part of responsible scholarship. This opportunity has
two merging dimensions. First, for a long while, outreach to the public has
been relegated to a secondary concern to “real” archaeology occurring as
an afterthought or add-on to primary archaeological research but this is
now changing. Recently, a convergence of theory, legislation, and an
increase in the level of archaeological site destruction, has begun to
relocate public archaeology from the margins of practice to the center. As
a result Public Archaeology is now seen to be an applied undertaking
which is relevant as research and, at the same time, it is increasingly
recognized that research on outreach is itself needed. As this has been
happening, assessment and evaluation have become more
commonplace, but are still launched from within bureaucratic and
economic frameworks, many of which are alien to, and insufficient for the
needs of, needed scholarly research (for developing outreach).
..
..
..
..
..
Meanwhile, in cutting-edge cyberspace development, Dilbert-like
corporate models of assessment are being replaced with agile
development methodologies that value continuous collaboration and
welcome change. This web pages project, taking place as it does in
cyberspace, implements agile methodologies in place of older models of
long-term projected outcomes. Short-term development sequences and
rapidly shifting content requirements are seen as part of an evolving and
intensifying collaboration with our multiple publics, and with each other. In
this evaluative strategy, the state of the adaptive development process
itself forms the primary measure of progress. This strategy incorporates
forefronts inductive and deductive research as part of the assessment
program via an engaged hermeneutic-driven process.
D. Launching the Web Pages: Announcement Strategy
1. Page Optimization
An educational strategy to promote this resource was developed by the
Web Pages Working Group and the SAA Manager of Public Education
and Outreach and was initiated during the Go Live in August of 2007. As
part of this strategy, US DOI BOR grant funds were applied toward
outsourced consulting expertise in Search Engine Optimization. This
involved the application of skills and methods for optimizing search
engine placement of the Archaeology for the Public web pages. In
specific, implemented key words/terms and or common search word
phrases that will enhance the position and rank of the SAA PEC web
page content in organic search results were applied so that archaeology’s
publics can more easily find SAA PEC information. As part of this
optimization phase, the Web Page Working Group was trained in how to
optimize created oages so as to pre-position future assets posted at
Archaeology for the Public.
2. Press Release to Media Targets
Beyond page optimization, upon go live at SAAWeb, a press release was
developed, with the assistance of the SAA Executive and Publications
Manager, for sending (as hard copy) to media targets (http://www.saa.org/
PUBREL/Archaeology%20for%20the%20Public.pdf). A follow up press
release for these targets is in preparation. This announcement, based on
the 2007 SAA Presidential Recognition Award presented to the Web
Page Working Group, aims to again highlight the Archaeology for the
Public project.
20
3. A Grass Roots Education Email Campaign
A grass roots education campaign was been devised to ‘get the word out’
to archaeologists about this new Public Archaeology resource so that
they could, in turn, spread the word about the resource through their
individual personal and professional networks. Multiple thousands of
individuals and dozens of electronic listservs received a 6 line, emailed
posting with a request asking colleagues that they, in turn, forward to their
personal and professional networks. (See sample in Appendix V.) Many
SAA Committees and Networks helped in this effort to spread the word.
4. Scholarly Outreach to Peers
The announcing plan included poster session presentations at scholarly
conferences (Jeppson et. al., 2006; McDavid et. al., 2007). This was done
for the SAA membership at the 2006 conference and to archaeologists in
sister-societies in the Society for Historical Archaeology (at their 2007
conference) and the American Anthropological Association (at their 2006
conference. This latter was at the suggestions of the AAA Archaeology
Division. A notice of the new resource was requested to be added to the
SAA conference program boiler plate (this latter has not yet materialized
[for 2006 or 2007] but was beyond the Web Page Working Group control).
The web pages have been present (on disk with a laptop) in the SAA
conference bookroom at both the 2006 and 2007 conference, and
promotional materials about the project (bookmarks and signage) have
been present at the comp-ed SAA table in the bookrooms at the Society
for Historical Archaeology (2007) and the American Anthropological
Association (2006) conferences.
Publications explaining the intention and workings of these web pages
have and continue to be undertaken. The web page design plan was
initially published in the SAA Archaeological Record with a solicitation for
member review and evaluation (Jeppson et. al., 2003). After the go live,
at the suggestion of the Archaeology Division President at AAA, the Web
Pages Working Group submitted a piece for the Knowledge Exchange
column in the AAA Anthropology News in an issue dedicated to the theme
of Anthropology goes Digital. This shared the new resource with
colleagues in the mother discipline. Notice of the public web pages go live
at SAAweb was published in the SHA Newsletter in the Public Education
and Interpretation Column in the Fall of 2006, and in the AAA
Anthropology News Archaeology Division column (April 2007).
A publication strategy has been outlined by the Web Pages Working
Group for introducing individual areas of the web pages to the SAA
members. This will be attempted though short, topic specific,
contributions to the SAA Archaeological Record. An article is in
preparation that will present the web pages project in a proposed,
..
..
..
..
..
Community Archaeology in North America-themed issue of the World
Archaeological Congress journal, Archaeologies. Archaeology for the
Public is now included as part of the SAA Press catalog boiler plate. This
catalog is mailed as hard copy to the SAA membership. One
announcement of the resource has been featured to date in the SAA
Archaeological Record and notices will continue in that publication.
Requests for a notice to be included in American Antiquity and Latin
Antiquity were denied.
Since going live, regular monthly updates about web page content
additions have been emailed to the SAA Public Archaeology GroupListserv and to the PEC-Business Listserv. This monthly mailing is being
expanded, in response to direct suggestions and or requests, to include
the list of State Network Coordinators, the Chairs of the various SAA
committees, and the listserv of the State Archaeologists/Historic
Preservation Officers.
5. Off-Site Outreach to Archaeology’s Publics
One on-going objective in this announcement strategy is that these public
web pages will be actively marketed to non-archaeologist groups—
particularly educators. This is being accomplished in a number of ways,
including emails and announcements to education gateway sites, email
announcements to educator listservs, registration with various search
engines and hierarchical directories, and the thoughtful use of hidden
metatags in the html code for our pages. An advertising piece and an
article about the web pages are planned for use in Social Studies, the
journal of the National Council for the Social Studies.
Off-Site Outreach has included bringing this resource (on disk on a
laptop) to venues with archaeologically interested publics convene. To
date, this has included the SAA PEC exhibit space at the National Council
for the Social Studies conference in 2006 (Washington D.C.) and the SAA
booth at the Public Sessions at the 2006 and 2007 Society for Historical
Archaeology conference.
Archaeology for the Public lends itself easily for use as part of an Archaeology Month program,
a school visit, an Archaeology Fair, or Public Session:

IV. What’s Next?: The Future of ‘Archaeology for the public’
A. Management Issues
1. Ensuring A Sustainability Resource
Archaeology for the public is only in its infancy and where
evolving technologies and improved electronic social networks will
take it remains unknown. To ensure its viability, suitability, and its
leadership role for the Society and the profession, upcoming
scholars representative of future Public Archaeology professionals
are being recruited now to work on portions of this project. This is
being done with an eye to position these individuals to take over
management of this resource (just as any committee of the SAA
recruits leaders from within so as to insure known leadership
capabilities, benefited by institutional memory).
Public Archaeology is now a formal subfield of scholarly research
with classes on the subject, graduate programs specializing on the
topic, Ph.D. and MA thesis focusing on the topic, several book
series dedicated to the subject, and an international, peerreviewed journal. The upcoming generation of scholars, the first to
be both formally trained in Public Archaeology and which are from
the cultural cohort raised in the digital age, will take this resource
where it can and needs to go. Only this future generation of
scholars can do the project the justice needed, and the individuals
tapped to date are eager to be mentored by the Web Page
Working Group (an older generation of Public Archaeologists) just
as they, in turn, are eager to be advised.
This program of sustainability was laid out and initiated by Patrice
L. Jeppson, upon her assumption of duties as Lead Coordinator of
this project at the Go Live in August of 2006, replacing (previous)
Lead Coordinator (Development Phase Leader) Carol McDavid
(2002-August 2006).
At this time, the Web Pages Working Group and the SAA
Manager of Public Education and Outreach who assists and helps
guide this project are currently investigating grants that might help
support the web pages maintenance.
..
..
..
..
..
2. Going Forward: Content Updating
As already mentioned, Archaeology for the public will necessarily grow in
an organic fashion, expanding as Public Archaeology as a field of practice
expands and evolves — as new ideas arise, as new ‘best examples’
emerge, as new controversies grip archaeology, and as new publics are
identified. Therefore these SAA public web pages never can and never
will be ‘completely finished’. Content updates and management
developments are expected to evolve and emerge long term. Most
notable on the more immediate horizon is implementation of, among other
items, a ‘Search’ feature. With the already completed page optimization,
the 280+ pages of content (including 78 pdfs) are searchable in
cyberspace using any of the search engines. However no search feature
is yet operative within these SAA public pages (for example, if entering
through SAAWeb). In the [volunteered] development of this resource
priorities needed to be made and search engine needs were prioritized
above within-site searching. The other main, immediate management
task involves aesthetic improvements of the look of these web pages.
This can only be done once content is available (Phase I). This has
begun as part of Phase II development of the pages.
Ideally, these public pages will need to be accessible to differently-abled
people, and this aspect of the site's design is also being addressed by the
technical consultant. Likewise, some content will be optionally made
available in Spanish and, perhaps, French, keeping in mind our many
colleagues who work in Canada.
B. Learning from ‘Archaeology for the public’
In developing this project, insight has been gained into public
archaeology as an area of outreach practice. There is also a
clearer picture about what archaeology’s publics do with
archaeology, and what they need and want from professionals.
Much is being learned about the current state of Public
Archaeology through this project. For example:
▪
Outreach aims and goals are found to vary among regional
archaeology traditions. U.S. outreach practice often reflects the
processual archaeology tradition. Archaeological methods and
methodology form the focus of a significant portion of outreach which
is promoted in terms of a science orientation.
24
▪
As part of federal agency mandates, many materials and programs
have been geared toward meeting archaeology’s stewardship needs
(namely, preservation of sites). At the same time, much recent Public
Archaeology attempts to address the public’s needs – for example,
archaeology for the needs of K-12th grade education and or for
specific descendant communities.
▪
Historical archaeology (which deals with the recent past, broader
American History issues, and descendant communities) produces
(proportionately) the majority of U.S. archaeology outreach resources.
▪
Many public outreach efforts are created as one-off’s (non-enduring)
efforts. A significant amount of public outreach is undertaken by
avocationalists or non-archaeologists who contribute substantively but
do not excavate their own sites and thus don’t have data readily
accessible to transform into a public resource.
▪
Public Archaeology now forms a sub-specialty of theoretical academic
practice with Ph.D. dissertations and MA theses, several book series,
an international peer reviewed journal, professional conference
themes and symposia, special journal issues, and college/university
courses and programs.
▪
There is an increase in hybrid professionals and an increase in
collaborative practice as Public Archaeology matures.
The application possibilities of new technologies are being actively
explored and embraced.
▪
More and more often, public outreach is required or offered as a
creative mitigation option in legislated environmental compliance.
▪
Assessment and evaluation are becoming more commonplace. At the
same time, agile methodologies flourish in this realm of applied
practice: Shifting requirements are welcomed as part of an evolving
and intensifying collaboration, whereby the adaptive development
process itself forms the primary measure of progress.
The Web Pages Working Group are researchers involved
professionally in the study and application of Public Archaeology.
They are being reflexive in their actions involved in the
development of these pages and have conscientiously reported on
their observations and findings as part of ethical scholarship. This
online resource is being reported on as an on-going research
project, in that it is helping to understand how archaeological
practice is being informed and transformed by hyperspace.
..
..
..
..

C.
Recommendations
Careful and thoughtful planning about the design and implementation has
positioned Archaeology for the public with the flexibility necessary for the
evolution of technologies expected in the medium of cyberspace, the
evolution of expectations in theory and practice within the emerging subdiscipline of archaeology, and the evolution of desires and needs of
archaeology’s many publics. With Archaeology for the public, SAA, with
partial assistance from the US DOI BOR, has created a platform where
members of archaeology’s publics and members of the profession can
come together as a community. This community bridge-building, which
serves the society’s ethical principles, the profession’s practice, and the
public’s wants, should guide (inductively) the evolution of this resource.
As new web-based technologies for achieving this become commonplace
in our culture, these pages (though not their purpose) should be expected
to transform. Such developments should be welcomed and supported if
this educational outreach resource is to remain viable and sustainable.

Appendix: IV
Teacher Suggestions For Web Pages
(Selected Comments)
I would say is to keep it kid friendly and clutter free.
You remember the old saying KISS? Keep it
stupidly simple or something like that, at least the kid portion.
Use lots of pictures. It needs to be very visual the younger the audience.
Also you want to make it so that even ELD students (English learners) will benefit.
Keep the reading level low so that kids get the content and aren't' working
so hard to decode that they don't "get it."
The reading level should be at least one grade level below the target age,
two would be even better. You don't want to frustrate them.
This is a major problem with most science and
social studies text books that have been put on the market. Although the
newest ones are better, they still are a bit above the reading level of the
students reading them. We end up reading it to them and pray they are
listening which is usually not the case since social sciences almost always
come in the afternoon.
Larger print the younger you go is also something to
consider. Kids freak when the page is overwhelmed with text, especially an
RSP kid.
For teacher section, include DOABLE lesson plans which means short simple
things that can be done in 30-45 blocks of time.
If they are geared to states such a California,
you might want to site the standard which is ties to, a BIG must here since
we can't teach anything that is not tied to a state standard.
Many texts have a page strictly for "California Standards"
Also,
if you have lessons plans that suggest a project, SHOW a picture of one a
student actually made.
Use tested lesson plans tested on average students not GATE kids.
Also teacher's LOVE books especially picture books which deal with the
subjects being taught. So provide a reading list. Any time we can connect
something to language arts and say that we are using "thematic" teaching it
looks good.
And thanks for asking.

add links to other sites for the students who need or want to go that
little extra push.
often there are students who would like more
info but aren't sure where to go to get it.
how about something that explored what archeologists in the future might find
out about the culture of the students today if they excavated their
garbage/backyards/ schools etc...
reviews by and for teachers on material and books sound like a good idea
maybe some testimonials of teachers who were successful at integrating
archaeology into their curriculum.

Appendix: V
Peer Review Request
November 7, 2005
Dear XXX,
This is a targeted appeal to archaeologists known to have particular expertise about and interest in Public
Archaeology, or who have oversight responsibilities for publicly-directed SAA efforts. This request comes from
the Internet Working Group, a task group of the SAA's Public Education Committee. In specific, we are
solitciting comments and input from archaeological peers on Phase I of ‘Archaeology for the Public’ which is a
set of publicly-directed web pages to be hosted on the main SAA web site.
Would you be willing to look at these pages – as many as you have time for – and comment on them? Your
comments can address style, images, content, ease of use, or anything else. We are still in the process of copyediting to correct typos and the like, but if you do find things we've missed, that sort of feedback would be useful
as well.
Evaluation Details
▪ This evaluation involves the first 150+ linked web pages of public-friendly, archaeology information.
▪ These pages are designed to provide a useful source of information for both diverse publics and
archaeologists who wish to communicate with them.
▪ These new web pages can be expanded and updated. Indeed, there are approximately 300 additional
pages waiting to be uploaded after Phase I editing and writing are completed and, after that, the site will
continue to evolve and
change.
The Archaeology for the Public web pages reflect the combined knowledge and practice of the
archaeological profession as represented by SAA members. As such, archaeologists (not administrators, web
design consultants, or other non-archaeology professionals) should be the final arbiters of what appears on these
pages. The PEC Committee members who have been assembling and editing these pages are archaeologists with
long experience in public outreach and education, and, as with any professional archaeology publication, a peerreview process is vital and necessary. Evalaution from non-archaeologists is also being sought. We hope you will
agree to assist us in this effort.
Please let us know by return email if you are willing to participate: [email protected].
The temporary URL for Archaeology for the Public is http://saa.heartstone.com/home/home.html.
This URL will change when the site goes live and is incorporated into the main SAA web site.
With thanks,

Feedback Needs To
Enable Qualitative and
Quantitative Analysis:
Some Notes
Kinds of desired feedback on the web page includes, at base (but is not limited
to):
.
.
an understanding of which content is used by the public (specifically, what is used
by which publics and why). (This will help us give our publics what they need.)
favorites vs. undesirable/not particularly useful (and thus clogging/competing
information. (This could feed into better organization of our offerings.)
Feedback can be qualitative and/or quantitative and can be achieved in a
number of ways including:
Qualitative feedback
.
solicited suggestions from a button (e.g., Send Us Your Suggestions!)
We may need to also solicit directly why the public wanted particular data: Why
did you visit our site today? Were we able to help you? What more can we do to
help you today?
.
comments gleaned from on-line chat sessions
.
responses of surveys/mini-quiz’s (e.g. Test Your Archaeology
Knowledge!, or

Quantitative feedback
.
a web-server file analyzer program (digests and summarizes server logs)
This option provides:
Etic categories of thought:
This software will allow us to examine our ‘audiences’ anthropologically. How they surf
(categories they use) will reflect how ‘they see the world’ (and hence, their needs). We
can then use their terms (categories/world view) to organize our content for them.
We can learn about how people are searching to find us because the software lists
the referring search engines and search strings. We could use this information to
tell us where we need to be indexed (linked from).
Note: program features are not perfect. We can’t track to specific individuals
because tally’s include hits from proxy (remote) and multiple users at one address
will not be identifiable (such as at a school address). Plus, not all IP addresses are
static (unique) leading to possible inflated hit tallies, etc. Likewise, a hit count
does not tell you how long the individual spent with the content nor what they
came away with from it. But the tally’s can show where someone links from and
what they link to giving an idea of successful typologies/categories of information
and priorities of the public. A search engine crawling for indexing (a good thing)
can also look like a hit inflating the tally.
