Archaeology may seem an unlikely place for community-based collaborative research to take root but, in fact, it has a rich tradition of public engagement, and in settler-colonial contexts it is being transformed by powerful and insistent demands to decolonize its practice. Bearing in mind the challenge posed by Tuck and Yang - that "decolonization is not a metaphor" - I explore the question of what's required to do archaeological research in the context of ethical and respectful, community-led partnerships with Indigenous descent communities.
