Conference Paper

Archaeology without Artifacts: Research Experiences Outside of Excavation

Amelia Fay

Abstract

One goal of my MA research was to talk to people and record their oral histories and opinions on archaeology. I wanted to engage the community in their rich history and current archaeological explorations of the past. Armed with digital recorder in hand, I went to the Inuit community of Nain, Labrador with the naïve enthusiasm that I assume many graduate students have before embarking on their first real research project.
