Research paper thumbnail of Valuing an Ancient Palaestra in the Centre of Athens: The Public, the Experts, and Aristotle

This paper investigates the values assigned to the archaeological site widely known as 'Lykeion' ... more This paper investigates the values assigned to the archaeological site widely known as 'Lykeion' of Aristotle'-the famous ancient Greek philosopher-by experts and non-experts. The paper revolves around the premise that values should be holistically conceived as both the 'what' is valued and the 'whys' that drive the 'whats'. Based on semi-structured interviews and quantitative questionnaires, the diverse values attributed by professionals, such as architects, archaeologists, or conservators, and the wider public will be unveiled. It will be demonstrated that values vary fundamentally not only between experts and non-experts but also within groups of experts. Furthermore, it will be argued that the conduct of in-depth research aimed at exploring experts' and non-experts' values and meanings, prior to interventions for the enhancement of any archaeological site, is vital for managing potential tensions and for offering an integrated interpretation strategy.
