Title:
CANCELLED Decision-Making in Archaeological Heritage Management: Moving forward
Content:
In march 2018 the Europae Archaeologiae Consilium (EAC) published it’s Making Choices report on decision-making in archaeological heritage management. This was a result of a survey that sought to understand the way in which decision-making in archaeological heritage management was undertaken in the context of the Valletta and Faro Conventions. The survey made clear that four major themes needed to be explored further:

• Guidance on assessing and articulating significance
• Developing national research frameworks
• Making the case for development-led archaeology - public benefit of archaeology
• Managing archives – guidance on selection in archaeological archiving and the digital archiving

Since then the EAC has established working groups that aim to give guidance on these topics. In this EAA session the preliminary results of the working groups will be presented. Furthermore we invite speakers to present their own research regarding these themes. Aim of the session is to share the results of the working groups, but also to share experiences and good examples on any of the themes and to gain insight in the extent of the guidance and action needed.
