Transforming Heritage Practice in the 21st Century by John H Jameson

Transforming Heritage Practice in the 21st Century by John H Jameson

Recent years have witnessed a rapid increase in the fields of cultural heritage studies and community archaeology worldwide with expanding discussions about the mechanisms and consequences of community participation.

“The next dimension is to develop heightened clarity on the goals of community/public archaeology, the metrics by which successful impacts will be measured, and the techniques that can be used to measure themThe next dimension will take us beyond archaeology as it was to archaeology as it must become. For that, the essential contribution from Jameson and Musteaţă’s book is that it delivers a capstone to past publications and in so doing, begins to make the next dimension conceivable.” (Peter G. Gould, American Antiquity, Vol. 85 (3), 2020)

“The papers in the volume highlight that public involvement has a two-way benefit and that increased stakeholder involvement, and power-sharing mechanisms that encourage greater participation by lay people, benefit archaeology and heritage practice in multiple ways.” (Antiquity, Vol. 94, 2020)
