Amy ty lilin-draza'ay: Building Archaeological Practice on Principles of Community
1Department of Anthropology, Institutes of Energy and the Environment, and Rock Ethics Institute, The Pennsylvania State University, University Park, PA 16802 USA.
Abstract:
The significant economic and health impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic have forced archaeologists to consider the concept of resilience in the present day, as it relates to their profession, students, research projects, cultural heritage, and the livelihoods and well-being of the communities with a stake in the sites they study. The global crisis presents an opportunity to cement archaeological practice in a foundation of community building. We can learn from the ancestors, razana, how investing in community-social networks at different scales-makes us more resilient to crises. In so doing, we can improve the quality and equity of the science we produce and ensure relevant outcomes for living communities and future generations.
