During the 'round table' at the 20th Annual Meeting of the EAA in Istambul |
During the
20th Annual Meeting of the EAA in Istanbul, the Working Group in
Pubic Archaeology held its second round table and meeting. The topic was
ethics, as agreed the previous year, and a priori acceptance was great with 17
proposals of which 14 made it to the final schedule of the session.
This year
we have complained a lot about the organization of the meeting, with a chaotic
system that messed up proposals, and absurd requirements like having to send a
paper to get time for introduction and debate of the session. This is why we
could not wait more for substantial changes in organization.
Sometimes
our wishes come true, but not in the way we expect. We had a productive round
table with around two hours of debate, but not because we could schedule more
time, but because 50% of the scheduled speakers did not show up.
Some had
good reasons, but others did not even notify us. Moreover, out of the five public
archaeology-related sessions of interest for the Working Group during the
entire conference, two overlapped on Thursday and another two on Friday, making
it impossible to attend half of the relevant sessions. If this report of the
meeting is not talking about the ethical side of public archaeology, then we
have to conclude that the meeting has been a failure, and we need to rethink.
This is why
the Working Group has made three proposals to the EAA board (written as we did
not have the opportunity to speak in the Annual Business Meeting, nor to
report, or ask in the final questions).
- Overlapping Sessions. The Committees and Working Groups do not only debate their interests during the meeting, but also work in the interest of their members. This is why we should have a say in the scheduling of sessions to avoid overlapping. Sometimes it is impossible to avoid it, but we can at least help to minimize the damage.
- Round Tables. A round table is synonym for debate. A traditional session with a different name is not a round table. This is why we propose in future we hold real round tables in a format in which we get 2-3 hours to debate. People can send their proposals to participate too, but in a format in which the schedule is not tight and we can actually do a round table, with a maximum of 5-7 speakers and the participation of the public.
- Introduction and Debate. Sessions need to be introduced and debate should be compulsory. This is why 15 minutes for introduction and 30 minutes for debate should be scheduled in every session. If we do not encourage that and limit the session to polite questions after a talk, we miss our goal to foster and support open discussion, at least from our point of view.
As the Working
Group needs to have a chair and a secretary to head the organization of
sessions and communicate with the EAA board, next year there will be elections,
and all of you are more than welcome to participate. Decisions on any matter
that affects the group will be still taken as an assembly and communication
will flow as it has done to date, but the role Lorna and Jaime have been
playing these two years needs to be continued, and elections are essential for
that.
Going back
to the session on ethics and public archaeology, the session was still
productive and some interesting topics arose. It was made clear that there is a
need for commitment as professionals, as we do good archaeology, we need to do
good public archaeology too. This is not an easy duty, but worth undertaking, and
that is why planning and management are core elements in the implementation of
any public archaeology project.
Timing and
funding were raised as the biggest challenges for our future, and the ethical
practice of public archaeology. Philanthropy is the new funding scheme and it needs to be considered how this might
be prejudicial for a project and its sustainability, a recurrent word that is
central for the success of any public archaeology project. This is why archaeological
teams have to engage in the long term for public archaeology projects, and
planning must be clear and reasonable to be able to cover properly all the
goals and timetable. In order to achieve the professionalization of public
archaeology, commitment cannot be the only heart of a project and only through working
with people and governments can we address this issue.
The
political side of our practice in terms of agenda is crucial for the set of
clear roles and the stability of teams and projects. So, the public is not only
a traditional community but also a complex audience within which we can find
politicians, but also other archaeologists, minority populations or other special
interest groups, which may sometimes lead to conflict. Awareness of all of them
is essential. The consequences of our work can be important, and this is why we
need to evaluate them carefully. An activist approach is crucial for the
successful impact of archaeology and public archaeology, however difficult it
can be to position oneself, especially in the private sector. Public
archaeology goes far beyond the remit of what we understand to be
archaeological practice, into the daily lives of people, and if our work is not
going to make a real difference, we need to rethink our strategies.
Of course,
every situation is different and we cannot apply the same strategy to all of
them. We just need to be sure what we are doing is not going to cause damage
either to heritage or, more importantly, to people.
This long
report sums up in some way the main ideas we debated during the session, and
suggests a series of reasonable steps for next year – perhaps the EAAWG on
Public Archaeology session for Glasgow 2015 could be the political role of
public archaeology?
