 ABSTRACT: This talk will explore various approaches to outreach and collaboration for archaeology. I will discuss working with the media, using social media, and building public participation into archaeological field programs. I draw on examples from my museum work as well as the Magic Mountain Community Archaeology Project and Astor House Community Archaeology Project, both in Golden, Colorado, a collaborative research program involving Zuni elders in the Reserve region of New Mexico, and recent work I did in France looking for a pilot with the Depart of Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency.
