Building from Consultation to Collaboration in SC Archaeology

***5th Annual W. Brent Burgin Lecture***

"Building from Consultation to Collaboration in SC Archaeology"
Dr. Nina Schreiner, Associate Director and NAGPRA Coordinator, South Carolina Institute of Archaeology and Anthropology

In decades past, archaeologists often studied Indigenous material culture without input from descendant communities. This insular approach to research both undervalued Indigenous perspectives and reinforced retentionist, or anti-repatriation, philosophies of collections care. Today, collaborative methods are gaining momentum among archaeologists to address the historical exclusion of community voices. Alongside community partners, SCIAA is building an institutional collaborative approach using the principles of government-to-government consultation as a starting place.
