For people, places and the past: Transnational perspectives on the impact on volunteers of archaeological participation within the places where they live.

Original language description

Involving communities in archaeology exploring the places where they live is increasingly regarded as a moral priority because people have a right to connect with their local heritage. In some countries this has included public participation in interventions such as excavation but in others, participation by people other than archaeologists is rare or proscribed under heritage protection legislation.This session aims to bring together archaeologists experienced in public participative interventions with those interested in their potential, to explore how better understanding of the benefits of hands-on participation in archaeological interventions, for people, places and the past, can help ensure these benefits are more widely available in the future. Papers explore the outcomes of recent projects in the Netherlands, Czech Republic, Poland, UK, Kyrgyzstan and Nigeria giving local residents hands-on involvement in archaeological excavation or restoration, and from which the impact has been formally captured and assessed. The session is inspired by the EU-funded Horizon2020 ‘CARE project’ (CARE-MSoC: Community Archaeology in Rural Environments – Meeting Societal Challenges) involving hundreds of members of the public in new archaeological excavations within 12 local communities and evaluating the outcomes for archaeology, people and places.Four session papers present the outcomes and impact of CARE projects in the Netherlands, Czech Republic, Poland, UK on local people, heritage policymakers and our understanding of the past. The fifth synthesising paper offers wider global perspectives from Kyrgyzstan and Nigeria where public participative archaeological interventions using similar approaches to CARE have involved local people in rural communities.We hope this session will stimulate discussion, firstly, of the ways in which participative archaeology can support the aspirations of a range of UN Sustainable Development Goals and secondly, what we as archaeologists need to do to make this possible.
