An in-depth history of the evolving dynamics between professional and non-professional archaeologists in North America.
Andrew L. Christenson is curator of the Museum of Indigenous People in Prescott, Arizona. He is author of Tracing Archaeology's Past: The Historiography of Archaeology and An Essential Relationship: Amateurs and Professionals in Central Arizona Archaeology.
"This volume reviews the trajectory of collaborations between professional and amateur archaeologists over the past two centuries. It provides a resting place to look back, as well as a foundation of depth and experience from which to plot a more productive and rewarding path forward."--Steve A. Tomka, Raba Kistner Inc. "Here are chronicles of the riches, the dedicated work, the trials and tribulations of citizen scientists in American archaeology. Christenson again leads the history of American archaeology to its real breadth including avocational groups, where local knowledge and heritage protection substantially supported the practice of American archaeology."--Alice B. Kehoe, professor emeritus of anthropology at Marquette University and founding member of the present Saskatchewan Archaeological Society
