Summary:My goal with this chapter is to share our experience at Tall Hisban in Jordan with what I have chosen to call site custody activism or simply SCA. After introducing the notion of SCA, I briefly examine the historical role of overseas institutions with regard to the custody and care of archaeological sites. Next, I describe SCA activities initiated by Andrews University at Hisban in Jordan and offer some observations on the connection between SCA and the broader field of international community development. I also critically examining the role of narrative in SCA and conclude by offering a brief coda on what’s ahead for community archaeology and SCA in Jordan and beyond.
