title = "Students Are Stakeholders in On-Campus Archaeology",
abstract = "A consistent challenge in community and collaborative archaeologies has been the appropriate identification and understanding of project constituencies. A key step in stakeholder analysis is understanding and harmonizing the goals of archaeological work to the social role of the institutions for which we work. To illustrate the value of such a stance, we examine on-campus archaeology programs at colleges and universities, arguing that treating students as vital stakeholders is an important ethical obligation for both researchers and administrators. Including students as stakeholders in campus archaeology provides pedagogical benefits and a meaningful way to instill an appreciation of archaeology in an important constituency of potential voters and future decision-makers. We present a case study from Santa Clara University (SCU), reporting results of an online survey of undergraduates that was intended to gauge community interests in campus archaeology and heritage. We also detail activities undertaken by SCU's Community Heritage Lab in response to survey findings in order to raise the profile of the archaeological and other heritage resources on our campus. ",

note = "Funding Information: We thank all the students who have participated in this most recent iteration of campus archaeology at SCU. Kiersten Brady and Tess Rosenberg assisted with the design and implementation of the heritage survey. RJ Giese, Raymond Hartjen, Daniela Hernandez, Haven Kato, Brynn Lowry, Haliegh Nagle, and Hailey Zummo made up an excellent field school crew. Along with Kiersten, Tess, RJ, Raymond, and Daniela, Nora Fluetsch, Claudia Stefanescu, and Lucy Schmidt continue the analysis of archaeological materials housed at the Community Heritage Lab and our work with community partners. University Operations provided invaluable logistical support for our 2019 summer field school. We would also thank Michelle Bezanson, Fr. Michael Engh, Chris Shay, and Debbie Tahmassebi for their support of the Community Heritage Lab. Finally, thank you Sarah Herr and the editorial team at Advances, as well as the anonymous reviewers for their constructive comments.
