摘要:
Public archaeology is an area of study that emerged from archaeology in the 1970s, compassing activities focused on public andcommunity involvement across various dimensions, including education, awareness-raising, social movement, social justice, community empowerment, cultural tourism, and civic engagement. Whilepublic archaeology in Thailand has experienced significant growth during the over past twenty years. Archaeology has attracted public interest and has been employed in the advancement of education, society, politics, and the economy. Archaeological information has been included in the national basic education curriculum,especially within history classes that emphasize predominant, unique narratives of social and political history.Archaeology has been employed as a representation of “Thai” identity and nationalism, despite Thailand’s mixed ethnic diversity. This aspectappears to be a more prominent focus economically than other sector of growth, particularly as tourism has utilized archaeological sites as attractions throughout many decades. Nonetheless,comprehensive research on different issues of archaeology in Thailand to formulate narratives for various advancements has not advanced as rapidly as the rate of growth itself. This paper highlights 1) the current state of public archaeology in Thailand for crosscultural comparative analysis with its development in other nations; 2) an examination of the challenges and barriers faced in public archaeology through a reflexive lens; and 3) recommendations for integrating archaeology with contemporary society.
