Title:
Archaeological Heritage Management: Processes and Models for Comparison
Content:
In recent decades, the debate on the different models of managing cultural heritage, and in particular archaeological heritage, has increasingly broadened, also because management is no longer, or not only, based on centralised state governance, but is open to so-called collaborative approaches. Such approaches demonstrate the need to also integrate communities and private individuals in management and enhancement processes, either through special forms of partnership or by signing conventions, agreements or memoranda of understanding, or by changing the structure and organisation of state governance (archaeological museums, local authorities for the protection of archaeological heritage, etc.).
The aim of the session is, therefore, to compare the different ways of managing archaeological cultural heritage in different national and regional realities, also in the light of recent and future organisational reforms of central government structures to which the management and conservation of archaeological cultural heritage was delegated in the past.
The comparison between different national and local realities should highlight, not only on a theoretical level, but also through the presentation of concrete case studies, the strengths and weaknesses of the various approaches and create an interdisciplinary and international debate that unites the scientific community of archaeologists.
The identification of good practices applicable to common problems in different contexts or the need for context-specific solutions should lead to the creation of shared knowledge and management models that are more and more necessary in an increasingly interconnected world of cultural heritage management and enhancement.
Papers for this session may include, but are not limited to:
- Description and discussion of different processes and models for archaeological heritage management both at national and more local levels.
- Impact of different processes and models on the management of archaeological heritage.
- Future challenges and opportunities in the management of archaeological heritage.
