Stanish, Charles, Kusimba, Chapurukha M.
1996 Archaeological Research and Community Participation. SAA Bulletin, 14(3): 15 (This page number refers to the online entry.), Society for American Archaeology
In this article, the authors discuss two case studies in which community involvement by archaeologists empowered the community and preserved local identity and heritage. In Bolivia, Stanish negotiated with the community to build a community center that would be run by locals as an "educational, recreational, political, cultural, and tourist center." In Kenya, Kusimba used his expertise to aid in a land dispute. The point that the authors make is that involvement in the community does not hinder research and it can have a positive impact on preserving heritage in a community.
