Taking as its start-point a radical intervention in the field of archaeology and heritage-one that laid down a direct challenge to the unspoken discourse of property relations inherent in our management of cultural resources-this article considers how much has changed since that intervention. In particular, the article considers developments in the manner of legal regulation of archaeological heritage, the adoption of ideas from economics, and relations with communities that have taken place in archaeology. It identifies differences between the rhetoric of commentators and practitioners and their actual practice that we need to address if we seek truly to turn our field into one that serves the wider community rather than merely telling others how to be. ________________________________________________________________ Résumé: En partant d'une intervention radicale dans le domaine de l'archéologie et du patrimoine, une intervention qui contredit directement le discours tacite des rapports patrimoniaux inhérents à la façon dont nous gérons les ressources culturelles, le présent article mesure les changements survenus depuis. Il tient précisément compte des développements observés dans le champ des règlements juridiques en matière de patrimoine archéologique, de l'adoption de concepts économiques et des rapports avec les communautés dans le contexte de l'archéologie. L'article identifie des différences entre la rhétorique des commentateurs et des praticiens et leur pratique réelle en soulevant la nécessité de les adresser si nous cherchons vraiment à mettre notre discipline au service de la communauté globale au lieu de dicter de simples façons d'être.

Education as Liberation: Using Archaeology to Serve Modern Working Class Needs

The working classes have been overlooked as a population that could benefit from social-justice-oriented critical public archaeology approaches. The Anthracite Heritage Program sought to address this gap by targeting educational attainment among students in the historically working class, chronically underserved northeastern Pennsylvania region. Public archaeology initiatives to promote interest and knowledge about undergraduate education revealed that the archaeologists’ greatest contribution was our own (class-based) knowledge of the intricacies of university admissions, funding, and life in the United States. In this way, the project ended up serving underserved communities in the ways that they needed help the most: securing the knowledge to attain class mobility.

Various descendant and community groups have long been involved in aspects of the discovery, investigation, preservation, and interpretation of archaeological remains and associated heritage. No longer content with merely being bystanders and even consultants, many have insisted on fully collaborating, co-creating, and controlling the archaeological and heritage management process. Despite the potential shared interests among archaeologists, local residents, and descendant communities, differences in ontologies, epistemologies, and deep-seated ethical values often pose challenges for an authentic collaborative archaeology that serves the needs and interests of multiple groups. In this article, I examine public participation in archaeology and heritage management, identify some of the gaps between prescription and practice, and suggest that we must adopt transformative values if we are to fulfill the promise of authentic collaboration.
