“…Photovoice is another methodology with potentials for ethnobotany and historical ecology (Sutton-Brown 2014; Dedrick 2018, Carroll et al 2018). The method was developed in the 1990's and has, according to our knowledge, not come to any common use within Historical Ecology.…”

This section sets the stage for the individual chapters in this volume. We begin with the foreword by Prof. Carole Crumley, and the publisher's foreword by the former director of the Swedish Biological Institute, Dr. Tuija Hilding-Rydevik. This is followed by our editor's introduction to our work and our acknowledgements. This first section ends with our first chapter, which presents a general introduction to Historical Ecology, what it is, where it comes from, and how, in general, it is conducted. Methods for the Collection, Analysis, and Integration of Interdisciplinary Historical Data 8 Practicing Historical Ecology 29Recently, Crumley and Bailée have published a review of Historical Ecology research and publications (Crumley and Bailée 2024) which reviews the major foundational texts and methods, and does a global review of research by categories such as forests, tropics, islands, etc. It concludeds with an overview of appliced Historical Ecology and heritage management. The work is available with a subscription to the online Oxford Bibliographies series.

“…Photo elicitation has been used across the social sciences, including in cultural anthropology and heritage studies (See for example, Beilin 2005;Bell 2010;Van Auken, Frisvoll, and Stewart 2010;Willson and Mcintosh 2010). The method has not been equally adopted as a tool in archaeology, although some archaeologists working in community-based or collaborative projects have incorporated varied elicitation methods into their research, including Photovoice (Dedrick 2018;Castañeda 2009;Fitzjohn 2007). 1 Photo elicitation stands out from other visual methods increasingly used in archaeology because it is most frequently used as a data collection tool rather than data visualization.…”

Photo elicitation as a tool for expanded participation in community archaeology

Photography can be a useful and distinct method for community engagement and collaboration, especially when used as a tool to add depth to oral history or ethnographic interviews. In particular, 360degree panoramic photos can mimic walking interviews, thereby allowing participants to virtually re-inhabit spaces within the study site, encouraging new dialogues about the materiality of historic places and personal experiences within them. This method of photo elicitation can enable more participation from those who may not be able to physically join archaeologists on a site that is difficult to access due to time, mobility limitations of participants, or the terrain of the landscape. I use examples from a community-based archaeology project focused on the site of a nineteenth century Bahamian plantation to demonstrate how photo elicitation can reveal unique insights into the ways that local people of all ages understand, interact with and value the historical site today.

“…To take a second example, those practising engaged archaeology have suggested that photography can empower local groups. Some archaeological projects have equipped local community members with the technology and skills necessary to record their own photographs (Dedrick 2018; Piccini & Insole 2013) and to create their own photogrammetric models (Haukaas & Hodgetts 2016; Karl et al 2014). Notably, the practice of providing local community members with cameras has a considerable history in cultural anthropology (e.g.…”

Photographic Insights from Engaged Archaeology: Yucatan and Beyond

Photography has been a particularly important though often under-theorized aspect of archaeological research. Although seemingly simple representations, photographs are simultaneously objective and subjective, truthful and creative. This article considers the contradictory nature of photography generally and the specific relationship between photography and archaeology. It then looks at the Yucatan peninsula of Mexico and examines how individuals have photographed ancient Maya sites, architecture and artifacts from the mid nineteenth century to the present. Initially used to support diffusionist theories of Maya origins, photography was later understood as a neutral and scientific way to record the Maya past. More recently, it has been used to share power more equitably with local communities and to make archaeology a more inclusive and relevant endeavour. Indeed, several have demonstrated that photography is a useful tool for engaged archaeology. This article argues that the reverse is also true: insights from engaged archaeology are useful tools for archaeological photography generally. By making photographic choices explicit and by including people and other aspects of the contemporary world in their photographs, scholars can emphasize that archaeology is a decisively human and necessarily political endeavour, and that archaeological sites and artifacts are dynamic and efficacious parts of the contemporary world.
