title = "Experiments in crowd-funding community archaeology",
abstract = "This article reviews existing case studies in the {\textquoteleft}crowd-funding{\textquoteright} of community archaeology, as well as offering preliminary results from a small-scale experiment conducted alongside the wider crowd-sourcing efforts of the MicroPasts project (http://micropasts.org). In so-doing, it also considers the possible role of a hybrid reward- and donation-based model for micro-financing collaborative archaeological research. The article concludes with a summary of the key lessons drawn from experiences of crowd-funding archaeology so far, and highlights their particular implications for community archaeology.",

note = "Funding Information: The MicroPasts project was funded for an initial period of 18 months (1 October 2013–31 March 2015) by the UK Arts and Humanities Research Council, through the themed call on Digital Transformations in Community Research Co-Production in the Arts and Humanities. We thank the project coordinators and community groups who have chosen the MicroPasts crowd-funding platform for their fund-raising campaigns, and all the donors who have supported these projects. Our thanks are also to Irio Musskopf, for helping to adapt the Neighbor.ly crowd-funding framework to suit the needs of MicroPasts, and to Jordan Hassell and Oliver Hutchinson for promoting some of the {\textquoteleft}seed{\textquoteright} projects. Finally, we are indebted to Lisa Westcott Wilkins and Meghan Ferriter, for useful discussion on the topic of crowd-funding cultural heritage, to the two anonymous reviewers, and the editors of this journal.
