Kristin,



For both my master's and doctorate I used ethnographic interviews, 
questionaires, etc. and both qualitative and quantitative analysis of  data 
to inform the ways archaeologists intersect with "hurtful" historiess. Can 
provide digital versions or citations if needed. If so write me off list.



But you might also want to look at these books:



Mortensen, Lena, and Julie Hollowell, eds. 2009. Ethnographies and 
Archaeologies: Iterations of the Past. Gainesville, Florida: University 
Press of Florida.



Castaneda, Quetzil E., and Christopher N. Matthews, eds. 2008. Ethnographic 
Archaeologies: Reflections on Stakeholders and Archaeological Practices. 
Lanham, New York, Toronto, Plymouth, UK: Altamira.



Plus this article:

Meskell, Lynn. 2005. Archaeological ethnography: Conversations around Kruger 
National Park. Archaeologies 1 (1):81-100.



Plus -- a lot of the stuff coming out of heritage studies in Europe uses 
ethnographic methods to examine various questions. I'd scan past issues of 
the journal Public Archaeology for a start.  In terms of social memory, you 
might also want to look at the work of Paul Shackel.



Good luck.
