There is an article that I have forgotten the title to, but it describes the
"Annapolis Project." This project was based on the perceptions and
participation of the public actually present at the site, interacting with the
archeologists with discussion of history and archeological reconstruction.
I'm not sure who wrote the article, it might be Mark Leone in Am. Antiquity?


Good Luck
