Achieving Impact: Benefits Gained by Both Archaeologists and The Communities in Whose Landscape They Work (original) (raw)

Achieving impact is becoming more and more important in our world today. ArchaeoLink was established at the University of Cambridge to liaise between archaeologists and the communities in which they work to assist those communities to obtain educational, economic and societal benefits from their sites. Our guiding principles are to promote archaeology, heritage and historic landscapes, and current research within this area, as sources of social and economic wellbeing and cultural development. The key to successful impact lies in the involvement of diverse stakeholders within the local community and in assisting them to shape and realise their objectives.
