Archaeology as Advocacy: Celebrating Cultural Heritage and Promoting Sustainability in Transylvania Mining Communities
No full textOpening archaeology to the public as a means to help advocate for equality allows communities to have a say in their past and use it as a tool to help the marginalized communities. However, in order to understand the best way to proceed with community-engaged archaeology, its best to look at other examples of how archeologists have approached the subject. In this paper, I examine how archaeology and narratives of the past have been employed in advocacy campaigns by both archaeologists and marginalized communities across the globe. I compare and contrast how archaeologists and activists have approached archaeology as an avenue to advocate for disadvantaged communities. This research provides the context in which I situate the Forging Identities: Past and Present, a community-engaged archaeology project in Bucium, Romania. By exploring the variability in public archaeology projects across the globe, our research project can can help spread awareness about social and economic issues in Romania, and possibly be used to help change some of these issues

History of the Shakers at New Lebanon by Isaac Newton Youngs, 1780-1861
No full textShaker Brother Isaac Newton Youngs served his community at New Lebanon, New York, as a tailor, clockmaker, mapmaker, mechanic, inventor, musician and hymn writer, lens-grinder, stonecutter, button maker, bookkeeper, journalist, tinsmith, printer, pipe fitter, joiner, and blacksmith. He built a sundial, made tools including a weaver’s reed, turned clothespins, made knitting needles, and laid floors. He was also an architect and roofer. Few aspects of life at New Lebanon were outside of Youngs’s sphere of activity. Therefore, it is fitting that he undertook to write a comprehensive history of his community, systematically treating all facets of Shaker life and culture. Youngs’s A Concise View Of the Church of God and of Christ, On Earth is printed here for the first time in unabridged form. The editors have carefully transcribed and annotated the text, and have selected illustrations to complement Youngs’s descriptive text. Additionally, appendices supplying vital statistics, and information on the occupations of New Lebanon Shakers (many of which were compiled by Youngs) are included. Finally, a selection of Youngs’s poetry rounds out a rich portrait of the lives and talents of Brother Isaac Newton Youngs, and his beloved Shaker brethren and sisters, as they labored humbly in the creation of a unique world where work was worship, and heaven was all around them.
