“…When engaging in co-creative processes, archaeologists must be ready to share power and authority to create something that meets their own goals and those of their community partners. Archaeological co-creative projects in the physical world have successfully created resources that serve a partner community's needs and interests (see Bria and Cruzado 2015;Connolly 2015;Ferguson et al 2015;Kasper and Handsman 2015;Means 2015;Miller 2015;Moyer 2015;Popetz 2015;Reeves 2015; all articles are included in this issue). The ways co-creation plays out in digital engagement, however, are not immediately obvious.…”

Simon (2010:187) notes that the purpose of co-creative community projects is “to give voice and be responsive to the needs and interests of local community members; to provide a place for community engagement and dialogue; and to help participants develop skills that will support their own individual and community goals.” This paper explores the role that co-creation currently plays in digital public archaeology and discusses how co-creative methods can inform broader archaeological digital engagement efforts. It begins by placing co-creation in its proper context in order to demonstrate its unique characteristics, its value, and how it complicates approaches used in other types of archaeological engagement projects, such as Open Access initiatives. The discussion then turns to evaluating its impact and the broader need to measure success in digital public engagement projects. A discussion of research from the archaeology and the cultural heritage sectors provides examples of evaluation metrics and methods for assessing digital public archaeology projects. The paper concludes by suggesting that all digital engagement projects can benefit from incorporating some of the principles that are inherently part of co-creative methods but that not all archaeological digital engagement projects should strive to be completely co-creative.

“…We can point to examples of research informed by this sort of respectful engagement among scholars working directly with Indigenous communities (e.g., Cipolla, Quinn, and Levy ; Colwell‐Chanthaphonh and Ferguson ; Ferguson, Koyiyumptewa, and Hopkins ). But as George Nicholas () argues, the point is not to create forms and practices of “Indigenous archaeology” that stand apart from mainstream archaeological practice and are ignored by those who imagine themselves as working on contexts not directly connected with extant Indigenous communities.…”

Assembling “Effective Archaeologies” toward Equitable Futures

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.

“…But we can comment on how our approach relates to the literature on working with Native Americans. Thanks to writers such as Chip Colwell (Colwell-Chanthaponh 2010; Colwell-Chanthaponh and Ferguson 2008), T. J. Ferguson (2004; Ferguson et al 2015), Robert Preucel (2002), Sonya Atalay (2012), and others (Hegmon and Eiselt 2005; Liebmann and Rizvi 2008; Wylie 2014), archaeologists have a rich set of concepts for discussing the various forms such relationships can take. Here, we discuss how our work relates to, but is also distinct from, these other ideas.…”

For the past six years, the Pueblo of Pojoaque and University of Colorado Boulder have been working together to investigate ancestral sites on and adjacent to Pojoaque land. Through our partnership, we believe we have learned some important lessons about the potential of archaeology for tribal communities, how archaeologists and tribal members can work together as coinvestigators, how such partnerships improve archaeological practice, and how the incorporation of traditional knowledge leads to better archaeology in both its humanistic and scientific dimensions. In addition, we believe it is a more sustainable and ethical model to engage the cultures in which archaeologists work. In this article, we share the story of our partnership, consider how it relates to existing perspectives on archaeology and Native communities, present a few results from our work at the ancestral site of K'uuyemugeh, and offer some reflections on our efforts to put a partnership model into practice.
