Abstract
Archaeologists use the same terms with vastly different meanings, resulting in ineffective communication. Time is of the essence when working with heritage at risk, and standardized language facilitates effective conversations and actions to describe, interpret, and communicate aspects of archaeology in the time of climate change. A panel at the 2022 Society for Historical Archaeology conference was sponsored by the Heritage at Risk Committee to delineate the meaning of the oft-used but rarely defined terms “site,” “resource,” “significance,” “risk,” “triage,” “data,” “audience,” and “sustainability.” The purpose of this article is to take a step toward disciplinary unification to facilitate future dialogue and action through modeling, monitoring, and mitigating heritage at risk.
