  Island: Excavating Performance and Public Archaeology<br /></strong></h4><
 p><strong>Abstract: </strong>The story of Malaga Island centers on a divers
 e fishing community of Black\, white\, Native American\, and mixed-race ind
 ividuals. Sensationalist journalism labeled them “degenerates” and the isla
 nd “disgusting.” Racist eugenics\, efforts to promote Maine as “Vacationlan
 d\,” and economic retribution fueled their forced removal in 1912. More tha
 n 45 residents were displaced\, and graves exhumed for reburial in a mass g
 rave. Some were institutionalized. This talk explores performance as a meth
 od of discovery and a creative means for critically examining archaeologica
 l sites. By foregroundingRe.Past.Malaga\, which integrates concepts of the 
 repast and culinary history\, the project engaged in what Congqueergood des
 cribes as "imaginative summoning and interpretive replays of past events in
  light of present situations and struggles." The Malaga project\, which use
 s performance as a lens for interpreting material culture\, suggests potent
 ial liberatory and critical uses of archaeology</p><p>These keynotes will b

  practice of archaeology has broad implications spanning academia\, politic
 s and policies\, education\, art\, historical understandings\, and grand na
 rratives. Archaeology draws from methods and knowledge generated by an arra
 y of disciplines\, including linguistics\, STEM\, museum studies\, and Indi
 genous and various ancestral and community knowledges and belongings. Archa
 eology also relies on public funding and on contemporary socio-political is
 sues that drive our work. This year\, we seek to broaden representation of 
 interests and expertise to think about archaeology\, the responsibilities a
 nd impacts of archaeological research\, interpretation\, and heritage manag
 ement from outside the discipline\, demonstrating the reaches of archaeolog
 ical work.</p><p>This approach invites us to acknowledge\, address\, celebr
 ate\, and problematize archaeology as a generative process that unites us. 
 We invite you to think about potential futures\, making good on past initia
 tives\, and making new promises within and beyond the discipline.</p><p>We 
 invite scholars and research professionals\, graduate and undergraduate stu
 dents from across academia and public and private sectors to join us\, shar
 ing and highlighting the impacts of a broadly imagined discipline.</p><hr /

 d explore the future of archaeology together!</p>
