“…While community-engaged research has provided one arena for considering archaeology's relevance, some archaeologists have weighed in more broadly on questions of our "use" and "impacts" over recent years, and increasingly so with future-oriented responses (Dewan and Rothenberg 2016;Hegmon 2017;McGovern 2018;Mizoguchi 2015;Sassaman 2012;Wurst and Mrozowski 2014).

An urgency compels us to engage how archaeology relates to contemporary situations and future dilemmas as citizens anxiously contemplate their futures. We see “crowd‐sourced” efforts to define pressing questions. A welter of theoretical approaches promises new insight into our relationally configured worlds. We couple awareness of the situated character of knowledge with a commitment to its empirical grounding. In light of this contemporary frame, I explore principles of an “effective archaeology” that imagines its “impacts” beyond narrow “uses.” By attending to how we make facts, archives, and narratives; by placing Western knowledge in productive dialogue with knowledge grounded in other epistemologies; and by embracing a disciplinary responsibility to expand and enlarge imaginings of futures through evidentially robust and critically engaged practice, effective archaeologies hold promise to build toward more equitable futures.
