1980 Problems and Promises in Urban Historical Archaeology: The MARTA Project. Society for Historical Archaeology, 14(1): 42-57, Society for Historical Archaeology
In this article, the author discusses problems encountered when conducting an archaeology project in an urban environment.

The author hints that public awareness may be a benefit to archaeology.

Walker, Cameron
2005 Promoting While Preserving: The Challenge of Heritage Tourism. The SAA Archaeological Record, 5(4): 23-25, Society for American Archaeology
This article uses the case study of Maya tourism to describe the focus that the Archaeological Institute of America (AIA) places on archaeology in their tours. The author claims that these archaeological tours, guided by experts, offer more accurate information than most guidebooks or local guides at mass tourist sites. The AIA sends out follow-up evaluations to acquire insight into the usefulness of education techniques at archaeological/heritage sites, which then help professionals plan how to reach a large public audience.
