2005 The Public Interpretation of America’s Archaeological Heritage. The SAA Archaeological Record, 5(2): 22-23, Society for American Archaeology
This article discusses the importance of public outreach in the National Park Service. The author argues that there is need for debate about how to tell archaeological stories more effectively, as most of history is not visible. Archaeologists should be helping the public understand the distant and recent past, as well as using interpretations to deal with current cultural issues.
