Additional Description

Abstract

My philosophy as both a student and an educator is rooted in the belief that it is essential for everybody to be more involved in and knowledgeable about the history present in their own communities. For centuries, the remains of the Brotherton Reservation have existed in the Pinelands, unbeknownst to most New Jersey residents. Creating a community-based service-learning archaeology project at Brotherton involving Indigenous [sic] and local communities, as well as local public schools and colleges, can enrich the site interpretation, as well as give voices and opportunities to groups and demographics typically not fully included in an anthropological study.
