Archaeology as Therapy: Connecting Belongings, Knowledge, Time, Place, and Well-Being
Abstract
Our research, teaching, and outreach engagements with descendant communities are identifying a therapeutic role for archaeology. We argue that community-based archaeology—meaning community-directed studies of ancestral places practiced by invitation—can improve individual and communal health and well-being. Archaeology has untapped potential to elicit and confirm connections among people, places, objects, knowledges, ancestries, ecosystems, and worldviews. Such interconnections endow individuals and communities with identities, relationships, and orientations that are foundational for health and well-being. In particular, archaeology practiced as place-focused research can counteract cultural stress, a pernicious effect of colonialism that is pervasive among indigenous peoples worldwide. A Stó:lō–Coast Salish model of health provides a baseline for assessing and guiding community-based archaeology and related pursuits. Three cases of community-based archaeological practice among the Coast Salish of southwestern British Columbia and northwestern Washington show how archaeology can promote health by connecting project participants and other community members with their territories and their heritage, both tangible (artifacts/belongings/heirlooms) and intangible (knowledge/traditions/histories).

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
