The Oxford Handbook of Public Heritage Theory and Practice
The field of cultural heritage is no longer solely dependent on the expertise of art and architectural historians, archaeologists, conservators, curators, and site and museum administrators. It has dramatically expanded across disciplinary boundaries and social contexts, with even the basic definition of what constitutes cultural heritage being widened far beyond the traditional categories of architecture, artifacts, archives, and art. Heritage n…
The Suffocated Cultural Heritage of Sub-Saharan Africa’s Protected Areas
Management of sub-Saharan protected areas is at its peak, with most countries having signed up to international conventions aimed at protecting the natural environment and collectively managing political threats that are likely to emanate from other states’ interest to harness cross-border environmental resources. These conservation efforts however are at a broader perspective that does not cater for the nuances at varying scales of environmental…
The Special Responsibility of Public Spaces to Dismantle White Supremacist Historical Narratives
Public historical spaces hold a powerful role in the teaching of a regional and national heritage curriculum. Those public sites, markers, museums, and monuments provide the narrative from which citizens conceptualize the past and they comprise a curriculum of American history. However, the calculated and intentional omission of the histories and identities of marginalized and oppressed people creates an unequal, ahistorical void that is filled b…
Agricultural Heritage and Conservation Beyond the Anthropocene
This chapter explores the contemporary significance of agricultural heritage, a concept in which the largely cultural and societal concerns for heritage preservation are shuffled into those related to nature conservation and the development of agriculture. Both heritage preservation and nature conservation cast mutually constitutive and relatively fixed ideas of past nature and culture into present and future. Agriculture, too, arrives heavily bu…
The Social Sciences
The conservation of cultural heritage has not kept up with social and environmental changes such as climate change, widening economic inequality, cultural diversity, and mass migration. This chapter evaluates three disciplines that illuminate a central conservation problem—the nature and protection of place—at different scales and with different success. Environmental psychology explains emotional attachment to places: it shows that people care a…
What Could Be More Reasonable?” Collaboration in Colonial Contexts
Collaboration is considered a panacea in North American archaeology today—a cure-all that is claimed to have radically transformed the discipline by bringing about equality and decolonization. Such assertions are problematic on many fronts, especially because collaborative archaeology has undergone little critical assessment. Based on our analysis of how the practice is defined, how social power is construed and measured, and how the goal of deco…
Ontologies of the Future and Interfaces for All: Archaeological Databases for the Twenty-First Century
Entrusting the Commons
The start of the twenty-first century is marked by new levels of globalization, environmental degradation, and social conflict that are endangering the cultural landscapes and agrarian heritage of rural areas. In the wake of these threats, heritage professionals are imagining new, holistic models for shared cultural and natural heritage protection that support active community engagement around issues of cultural identity, material and ecological…
Heritage in Conflict and Consensus: New Approaches to the Social, Political, and Religious Impact of Public Heritage in the 21st Century
The inaugural event for the newly established University of Massachusetts (UMass) Amherst Center for Heritage & Society, entitled "Heritage in Conflict and Consensus: New Approaches to the Social, Political, and Religious Impact of Public Heritage in the 21st Century," was held in November 2009 at three locations in the northeastern United States. Workshop attendees participated in several organized sessions, day trips, informal discussions, and …
Building Tools for Identifying Local Variability and Cultural Patterns: A Digital Ceramic Attribute Analysis
Recent studies of Northeast Algonquin cultures emphasize variation on the local level and position individuals as agents operating within—but not inescapably constrained by—a worldview. This welcome theoretical focus in Northeast studies presents a particular dilemma to the treatment of archaeological datasets. How can archaeologists structure and quantify data in ways that remain sensitive to local change and agency while simultaneously allowing…
