2017 An Unexpected Archaeology: An Interventionist Strategy for Video Games and Archaeology. The SAA Archaeological Record, 17(2): 28-32, Society for American Archaeology
In this article the author discusses several digital heritage landscapes. She argues that photorealistic archaeological reconstructions can actually hinder education; placing the models in popular venues leads to a more interactive experience. The author describes a public outreach event at the University of York in England where children came to participate in an archaeological reconstruction of the Mesolithic Star Carr site using the popular game "Minecraft."

Minnis, Paul E.
2006 Answering the Skeptic’s Question. The SAA Archaeological Record, 6(5): 17, Society for American Archaeology
The author argues that archaeologists need to think about the usefulness of archaeology to others outside the discipline, as archaeological projects depend on public funds. The author uses his own interests to show the benefits of archaeology to non-professionals and to show that different archaeologists will have different answers to this question about the importance of archaeology. Following this article are several short articles by various professionals about their thoughts on this issue.
