Florida Anthropological Society Conference

This event marks 23 years since FAC published the “Thinking about Significance” volume. This publication was monumental at the time and has been a reference to many in the years since. But our understanding of what archaeological significance is has shifted dramatically during the last two decades as our understanding of the archaeological record has grown and as the dialogue surrounding archaeology has expanded to include a larger, more diverse stakeholder group. Papers on all topics are welcomed, but it is hoped there will be a focus on “significance”, including the interpretation of site and artifact significance in relation to historic preservation, significance in interpretation and presentation, how different “groups” view significance, and how our understanding and evaluation of significance has changed as the perspectives of indigenous and other underrepresented stakeholders are integrated into archaeological discussions.
