Synopsis
Examines diverse national and local approaches to archaeological heritage management, highlighting case studies, best practices, and future challenges.
Archaeological Heritage Management renews the important global debate on the organization, management and legislation of archaeological heritage. No longer confined to centralized state control, contemporary approaches are collaborative – engaging communities, private individuals, museums, and local authorities, with the knowledge that there is no one simple solution, valid for everyone and forever.
This volume, based on a major session at the 30th European Association of Archaeologists Annual Meeting (Rome, August 2024), contains contributions from experts across a range of backgrounds, generations and career stages, exploring archaeological policies, participatory best practices, and the increasing need to involve professionals in the decision-making process. It offers a narrated journey that begins in Europe, continues in the broader Euro-Asian continent, and concludes in Latin America, through multiple nations and continents and their historical-archaeological heritage and their peculiarities, addressing not only the structural and political aspect of functioning, but also local communities.
More than a collection of case studies, this book is a call for a shared, interdisciplinary, and international dialogue on managing the past in a connected, collaborative future and is a key source of information for archaeological and heritage management practitioners and those who care about heritage across Europe and beyond.
