2010 Impact of Koster Site Media Relations on Press Coverage of Other Archaeological Projects,The. The SAA Archaeological Record, 10(5): 27-29, Society for American Archaeology
This article discusses the use of print media in the 1970s to interest millions of subscribers in the archaeology of the Koster site in Illinois. While studying the trends of other archaeological reports at this time, the author discovered that the popularity of the Koster site did not lead to an increase in press coverage of other archaeological discoveries. The author states that interest in the Koster site may have been due to a preexisting interest in the American past and the public opinion that they had a claim to the remains of that past.

2017 Index of Texas Archaeology: Open Access Gray Literature from the Lone Star State,The. The SAA Archaeological Record, 17(3): 4-8, Society for American Archaeology
This article is about the creation of an open access database of Cultural Resource Management (CRM) reports in Texas. The author describes the public need for this database, as many of the CRM projects are publicly funded but allow minimal public access to information. The authors hope that this literature will reach a broad audience, and that this will set a precedent for open access to archaeological reports for the public and professionals on a regional and national level.

2002 Interactive Entertainment as Public Archaeology. The SAA Archaeological Record, 2(2): 37-39, Society for American Archaeology

The problem is that many of the games created for the public are not based on fact and this pseudoarchaeology impacts public perception. The author emphasizes the need to address pseudoarchaeology and become more involved in using interactive media with accurate information for public outreach.

The article discusses international change in interpretive practice and how these trends, the shift from interpreting the "how", to focusing on "what" and "why" questions, will affect future Australian interpretation plans.
