Charter for the Protection and Management of the Archaeological Heritage (1990)
Springer eBooks, 2014
European collaboration, in Belgium last year, which we publish in full. This is a perceptive survey of the under-used potential of the Forum and its members and an indication of how it might best be deployed, by a professional archaeologist who has succeeded in standing back from the preoccupations of his profession. His vision of a heritage protection movement akin to and perhaps allied with the Green movement is an alluring one, worthy of consideration and implementation. In the closing years of the 20th century the philosophical, legislative, and organizational apparatus for the protection and management of the archaeological heritage is slowly fitting into place in certain parts of the developed world. But much remains to be done, and quickly, otherwise little is likely to survive into the 21st century and beyond.

The paper sets out the theoretical basis for the management of cultural heritage in general and archaeological heritage in particular. It came into being in the context of the cross--border project “Claustra – The Stone Ramparts of the Roman Empire” and therefore takes into account conditions in heritage management in both Slovenia and Croatia. On the basis of an analysis of the situation, the key weaknesses of the present method of management are set out, and a modern systemic approach to the issue is formulated, taking into account the standards of cultural heritage management adopted by two key international organisations in the conservation field, namely the Council of Europe and UNESCO.
Conservation criteria in the exhibition of archaeological sites

The evolution of intervention criteria in archaeological sites has definitely influenced restoration and conservation methods, especially in the last decades.

The Protection of Cultural Heritage in Macedonia and Italy
2014
The aim of this paper is to examine past and current practices, and the future prospects for the protection of cultural heritage in Macedonia and Italy. Specific attention has been paid to the comparison of these two countries in terms of the legislative grounds for activities such as preserving, enhancing and accessing common heritage; the preservation and development of cultural heritage; as well as, educational, research and training programs. Furthermore, this chapter will focus on variations and differences related to the protection of cultural heritage in Macedonia and Italy.

Furthermore, we consider the importance of ЕUROMED Heritage as a regional program which fosters the development of cultural heritage in the European Mediterranean area. It is anticipated that the results of this study will contribute t...
A research line between management of archaeological properties and World Heritage (WH) sites in European and Latin-American is presented in this paper with special interest in the Spanish case, as it is the second country with the most WH sites inscribed (41). The study is based upon the Archaeological Heritage, which can be considered in all types of WH properties, even in the cases in which the sites have been submitted without “archaeological references”. In this way, managing world heritage sites must include adequate measures for all kinds of cultural properties belonging to the site, even if they are not cited in official documentation of UNESCO declarations. Analyzing the UNESCO and Advisor bodies’ reports, as well as bibliography and direct documents of some WH Sites, it can observed that there are a lot situations where Archeological Heritage is not considered or it is only valued as a scientific part of historical studies of the site. However, there are no programs, nor specific or adequate projects dealing with this archaeological category of Heritage (its conservation or diffusion). Consequently, a model of Preventive Archeology is proposed to improve Archaeological Heritage Management in these WH sites. Several examples of activities to put in practice and to achieve greater diffusion are presented in this paper.
Archaeology and Heritage Legislation: A Comparative Study
Research on humanities and social sciences, 2014
One of the most important and pressing issues in Heritage Management in the World has been the effective protection and preservation of the Archaeological Heritage by the use of Heritage legislation. Over many years, copious legislations have been promulgated for the protection of cultural properties but these are not effective for protecting antiquity. In some countries thefts and illegal exportation of antiquities have been a reoccurring problem. What is the cause of this futility in heritage management? Is it a matter of the types of legislation promulgated from country to country? Why do some countries succeed in protecting their heritage while others seem to fail? This study will examine some aspects of the various laws and legislation, especially the very early ones that were enacted in seven countries namely Australia, Czechoslovakia, Denmark, New Zealand, Nigeria, Poland and Sweden. The essay will also focused on various ways in which Archaeology has been made popular throug...
