Category G: Diversity
1st Alexandra Jones – Each One Should Teach One: The future of archaeology lies in the generations to come. Educating children about archaeology and its impact on the development of history gives our children a better understanding of how their histories are created. This youth program was developed to educate youth about the fundamentals of archaeological methods with the goal of promoting the development of archaeological literate citizens. This is citizens who understand basic archaeological terminology and process, citizens who have a general understanding of the importance of heritage (their heritage) preservation, and citizens who understand their stake in their histories. (People's Choice)

2nd Thierry Boyer – Slush Fun: Gjoa Haven team members working in concert with Parks Canada underwater archaeologists to prep the ROV dive hole.

3rd Francisco Rivera – Shhh!: We are in the ‘Quebrada del Inca’ ravine, in Ollagüe, a Quechua community of northern Chile. During the “Mineros del Alto Cielo Archaeological Project”, while we investigate the local sulphur mining industry of the 20th century, we are accompanied by M. Eugenio González, a former worker. Our project is also about listening. It is about unhurried conversations and shared silences. We take a little pause from the survey. Muted volcanoes and abandoned terrace fields surround us, while we listen to the personal experiences of M. González. Shhh! Close your eyes, and perhaps you too will hear what he is saying.
