9am - 1 pm WORKSHOP: Interpreting Archaeology to the Public. Linda
Derry, archaeologist and certified interpretive guide.
We archaeologists increasingly understand the importance
of interpreting our research to the public, but do we have the skills to do
this effectively and ethically? Are we promoting stewardship? This
half-day workshop will introduce some powerful basic concepts from the
interpretive profession. Participants will be encouraged to apply these
borrowed tools to their own archaeological examples, so come with your own
site, collection or even a single artifact in mind. You will return home
with new insights, a reading list, networking possibilities, and
inspiration. The instructor, Linda Derry, is an archaeologist with the
Alabama Historical Commission and has been certified as an interpretive
guide by the National Association for Interpretation. The workshop is
free, but a helpful reference book will be available for $15.
