Musealization of Archaeological Sites Research Papers (original) (raw)

Although Herculaneum emerged extremely well preserved at the time of excavation the archaeological site that can be seen today has been exposed to the elements for more than 60-80 years and in some cases for over a century (Insulae II and III). As is often the case, the
incredible wealth of rediscovered heritage is extremely fragile: this is the case, for example, of carbonized timber left in situ, but also of frescoes, mosaic and beaten earth floors, which are continually trodden on by visitors. Site morphology is also a factor that contributes to
exacerbating the conservation challenges posed by the preserved heritage: the street level of the ancient city is located approximately 10-20 m below that of the modern city, which itself was built on a ridge formed from successive eruptions of Vesuvius. This means both difficulty in ensuring that the excavated escarpments are structurally sound and maintained, as well as difficulties in draining rainwater and groundwater that accumulates within the site. Pesaresi and Massari provide examples of provisional shelters that have been trialled at Herculaneum (Italy) which were specifically designed to address immediate conservation issues but to last longer than ‘temporary’ shelters thereby reducing the additional risk that temporary shelters can cause to archaeology when left in situ too long. They contrast these with other shelter typologies at the site in particular early twentieth century reconstructions that used the original Roman floor slabs or roofs as protective shelters.

Inaugurado a finales de 2007 por el Ayuntamiento de Valencia, se encuentra debajo de una nueva plaza en pleno centro de la ciudad, junto la catedral. Recibe su nombre del edificio gótico que albergaba l’Almoina, institución medieval dedicada a la caridad. Antes tuvieron lugar más de 20 años de trabajos de excavación, consolidación, interpretación, estudio y publicación.
Su mayor interés lo constituyen los restos de 20 edificios publicos acondicionados in situ, que forman un completo y bien conservado compendio de la historia y la evolución urbana de la ciudad desde su fundación romana. La continua superposición de construcciones, que, al tiempo, arrasan y preservan a las inferiores, dan como resultado una verdadera antología histórica y urbana de lo que ha sido Valencia. Se exponen termas, un horreum y un santuario de Asclepios de la época romana republicana; el foro con su basílica, pórtico y curia, además de la Vía Augusta, del momento del Imperio Romano; el baptisterio, una necropolis y un abside de la etapa visigoda y una parte del Alcazar, con fortificaciones y albercas, del periodo islámico. Además se ha prestado especial atención a episodios históricos importantes y especificos de Valencia que excepcionalmente han dejado su impronta en las excavaciones, como la destrucción de la Esta riqueza y abundancia de hallazgos en un espacio relativamente grande, una superficie cuadrada de 50 x por 50 metros, 2.500 m2, ha supuesto un problema y el principal reto a la hora de hacer entender al público estas excavaciones. Por tal motivo, tras un largo y meditado proceso, sobre la base de la singularidad, del estado de conservación y de sus posibilidades de preservación y conservación futura, se procedió a la selección de los principales elementos inmuebles que ahora se presentan al público y se preparó un itinerario que hiciera más comprensible el recorrido. El recurso a las nuevas tecnologías audiovisuales ha sido básico para hacer entender al visitante este ciertamente complejo centro cultural.

El Plan Director es el documento marco que guía el desarrollo de las actividades e intervenciones en el Conjunto Arqueológico de Carmona, fue elaborado en 2009.

With the development of technology, the concept of museum and visitor expectations have changed nowadays. Museums have become the institutions that keep up with this change and educate its visitors through different experiences rather than exhibiting the artifacts behind the glass. The archaeological open-air museums that constitute the aim of this thesis, are also have arisen out of the result of this change.
Built in areas where the archaeological heritage preserved in situ, the archaeological open-air museums present their visitors an image of the past based on archaeological sources. The main presentation in these museums is the archaeological remains itself. These archaeological remains are used in museum presentation by being restored, reconstructed or animated three-dimensionally in the light of archaeological data, within the framework of principles set by national and international regulations. The archaeological heritage that constitutes these museums, are to be transferred to the public by interpretation and presentation tools.
The archaeological open-air museums, which show off examples in different countries, continue to develop in our country as well. The conservation and arrangement practices carried out on sites by the Turkish Ministry of Culture and Tourism and excavation teams are the indicators of this development. The ancient city of Teos which is studied as an example in the thesis is one of the archaeological sites where these arrangements are implemented. In addition to the construction activities such as excavation house, depot-museum building, box office; travel route, resting areas, information boards, are also has been added to the presentation to make the city more accessible and understandable for its visitors. In addition to these arrangements, it is aimed to transform the city into an archeological open-air museum.

Within this thesis, the concept, types and development of open-air museum, and as one of its type the concept of archaeological open-air museum, its examples on World and Turkey are studied. The world examples are selected between the archaeological open-air museums which has a similar chronology with Teos. Because there is no literal archaeological open-air museum in our country the Turkey examples are selected between the sites which are arranged by the Turkish Ministry of Culture and Tourism and excavation teams. Then as a legal basis for archaeological open-air museums, the national and international principles and regulations have been revealed. Finally, as the main topic of the thesis Teos Ancient City’s history, research history, archaeological remains are reviewed and information is given about the completed arrangement project of the site which is a preliminary step of the archaeological open- air museum. For this museum, suggestions are made in guidance of the laws, regulations and etc. published by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism and the “ICOMOS Charter on the Interpretation and Presantation of Cultural Heritage Sites” principles.

More than twenty years ago, in 1995, the Regional Government of Castilla-La Mancha chose Segobriga for integrating the pioneer Network of Archaeological Parks. The development of this legal form ensured the preservation and protection of the site, as well as the archaeological research. It also allowed the public exhibition of the archaeological remains, providing the visitor a didactic approach to the scientific knowledge about this ancient Celtiberian-Roman city. The past, the present and the future of the management model of the archaeological site as a tourist destination in rural areas are analyzed in this contribution.

At the beginning of the st century the international conservation community gathered in the USA to take stock of the state of play with regard to protective shelters for archaeological sites to learn from a century long tradition of shelter building and draw conclusions that could be used at unsheltered archaeological sites. On the other side of the world conservation specialists wanting to assess conditions in a large Roman house in Herculaneum Italy could not safely access the building due to the risks presented by the corroded and cracked reinforced concrete beams supporting the modern roofs. Yet remedial work on the roof could not take place without first making safe the damaged mosaic floor on which scaffolding would need to rest. At around the same time an assessment of over mosaics under protective shelters within Israeli archaeological sites revealed that more than half those mosaics were deteriorating with many being entirely removed and other conservation approaches adopted. It was this context of ongoing connections and contrasts between conservation theory and site management practice together with the continuing challenge of sheltering archaeological sites that led to the Symposium on Protective Shelters for Archaeological Sites held a decade later in and with a specific focus on the Mediterranean region. This introductory chapter aims to capture within the structure that the event followed key insights from each case study brought to the symposium many of which emerged as their authors later reflected on the issues raised on return to their specific sites and further updated their papers Indeed this volume has become something more than just the proceedings of the symposium offering considerations matured over a greater period of time and through extended peer exchange something that has been at the heart of the MOSAIKON Programme since it began but also at the core of the approaches of the Herculaneum Conservation Project which hosted the symposium. It is hoped that the insights that emerge from this introductory overview from the papers themselves that follow and from the brief notes of the closing discussion session of the symposium will between them offer pointers for heritage practitioners in the field to approach sheltering at archaeological sites in a way that builds on progress to date and enhances future practice in the sector.

La emergencia de turismo cultural y la evolución de la ciencia arqueológica tuvieron un gran impacto a finales del siglo XIX y principios del siglo XX en el tratamiento de los yacimientos arqueológicos. Tomando como referencia los trabajos que se habían estado realizando en Pompeya e inspirados por las teorías e iniciativas que abogaban por la apertura de los yacimientos arqueológicos al público, se comenzó a forjar un modelo de musealización y gestión, que en cierto modo sirve de base y ejemplo a los proyectos desarrollados actualmente. Aspectos como la sostenibilidad, la conciliación de la visita pública con la investigación, el acondicionamiento de los yacimientos o la exposición in situ de las estructuras exhumadas y las piezas obtenidas a lo largo de los trabajos fueron compartidos por todos estos proyectos que se repartieron a lo largo de la Cuenca Mediterránea y otros lugares más alejados como Reino Unido o la India.
El interés despertado por las noticias relacionadas con los últimos descubrimientos arqueológicos, los viajes organizados y la propaganda realizada por las Agencias de viajes, las noticias de la prensa y la información y sugerencias ofrecidas en las guías de viaje fueron claves para el desarrollo de una metodología de trabajo que tuvo como base la interdisciplinaridad.

catalaSʼhi repassen les primeres noticies sobre Penya Negra i les investigacions dutes a terme en el jaciment al llarg de mes de 40 anys, amb una primera etapa entre els anys 70 i 90 del segle xx, i una altra de mes recent, iniciada el 2014. La Penya Negra estigue ocupada durant el bronze final i el bronze ple, entre els segles ix i vi aC, i fou una de les poblacions urbanes mes antigues de la costa mediterrania de la peninsula Iberica, possiblement identificada amb la ciutat d᾽Herna, localitzada en els confins nord-orientals del territori tartessi. EnglishIn this paper the early news about Penya Negra and the research carried out at this archaeological site over more than 40 years are reviewed. These studies started between the 70s and 90s and were continued from 2014 onwards. The site of Penya Negra was occupied during the Late Bronze and Early Iron Ages, from the 9th to 6th century BC. It was one of the oldest urban populations in the Mediterranean coast of the Iberian Peninsula,...

This paper relates to the communication presented online from Barcelona (Catalonia, Spain) in the First Congress on Museums and Heritage Spaces in Mexico: How Can We Explain Heritage?, which took place in Merida (Yucatan, Mexico) on the 27th and 28th of January 2012; a congress which we sincerely hope will continue to take place in future editions in years to come. Its main objective is to give a global vision of the various theoretical and epistemological concepts which provide the foundations for the various presentation models of architectonic and archaeological monumental heritage, which have been identified in Europe over the last two and a half centuries. Beginning with the antecedents and the historical evolution of the concept of “museum” in Europe, and comparing this evolution parallel to that of the museological theory in the various European schools (British, French, German, etc.), this paper reviews the various authors and most influential figures from each of these, analysing the theoretical and epistemological contributions, and the various types of presentation developed over time, focussing on the conceptual basics related to this subject. We will then review some paradigmatic cases and models from throughout Europe on the presentation of monuments and open-air archaeological sites, according to the different levels of treatment of the conserved remains. Finally, we will present the two latest cases of integral management projects of monumental and archaeological heritage developed by the author of this paper together with his team in Catalonia (Spain).

This paper presents the urban and cultural heritage decision-making processes developed, including the evaluation criteria for archaeological remains, which led to the rejection of the car-park as well as an obligation to excavate and create a site museum. This new period included a new urban development plan which had to adapt the foundation of the structure to the characteristics of the site as well as deciding on cultural heritage strategies in order to be able to make an accurate appraisal of the archaeological context. The museum project established the museological guidelines as selection criteria for the objects of interest, the methodology for intervention as well as defining the routes and the exhibition resources.
The new museum space, called the Antiqvarivm of Seville, opened its doors in 2011 and was established as the essence of antiquity in a cultural heritage city which had not previously offered archaeological settings related to its past. This landmark, 4000 m2 in all, joins other spaces of an archaeological nature which were established in recent decades, enriching the cultural heritage and historical narrative of Seville.

Aim of this paper is to present the project of enhancement of the archaological heritage of Brescia (Italy) with the task of re-enacting the landscape of the ancient city, using contemporary technologies. Thanks to archaeological excavations the ancient landscape has been completely studied and re-enacted, and it is now put on display with excellent architectural solutions in order to protect the ancient layers and to enhance their value. Different tools have been experimented to present the area and the ancient landscape to the public and different technological solutions were surveyed in order to select the best targeted tools for the visitors: a video operating like a time machine across the ages, special glasses with augmented reality overlapped to the natural landscape and virtual reality devices to present the ancient landscape of Brixia even far from Brescia.

Roman Provincial archaeological open-air museums and theme parks in the Central Europe. Selected examples and their utilization for a conception of the presentation of Roman monuments at Hradisko at Mušov
On the basis of the heuristic part, resulting in the general survey of all archaeological open-air museums in the Czech Republic and selected archaeological site presentations with the Roman Period theme in the Central European region, a project or alternative projects were designed to present the Roman provincial archaeological monuments in our region, excavated or still in the ground at the site of Hradisko at Mušov. Considering the site being one of the most unique and interesting archaeological sites in the Czech Republic, the realization of the archaeological open-air museum is a suitable way of protection of the monument and also a suitable form for presentation of new results of archaeological researches for public.

The majority of Turkish properties inscribed on the World Heritage List and the Tentative List are archaeological sites. Those on the main list range chronologically from prehistory to the Middle Ages, and geographically from remote mountaintops and highlands to accessible natural and urban areas. This article outlines visitor and local community engagement strategies that have been developed on the basis of these temporal and spatial particularities to enable quality experiences while ensuring site protection and contributing to sustainable local development.

Between September and October 2010 were done several heritage studies in the Prior of Sant Genis de Rocafort (Martorell, Barcelona), in order to obtain data to draw up a master plan that allowed the rehabilitation of this monumental set to be visited. The works involved were basically, cleaning the access and the entire surface of the site and in particular inside the Romanesque church builded at the end of 12th century or in the early of 13 th century, the delimitation of archaeological structures, walls and other visible elements in the surface, topographical survey with exhaustive documentation of the whole set by video and aerial photography with a drone and the documentation of architectural structures, interior and exterior walls of the church, using a 3D scanner.

Archaeological Site of Ani along Turkey’s border with Armenia is inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2016 as a relic historic city of the medieval period. Its location on the Silk Roads had enabled a fusion of Armenian, Georgian, Byzantine and Islamic traditions into a new architectural language that later spread in a wider region. Visible monuments include buildings by a particular architecture school that developed at this Armenian Bagratid capital, and the earliest Turkish mosques in this first city conquered by the Turks in Anatolia. This paper traces how this dual identity, of an Armenian-Orthodox and a Turkish-Islamic capital, motivated archaeological research and restorations at Ani.

The urban area and territory of Aquinum, a roman city situated along the via Latina between Frosinone (Frusino) and Cassino (Casinum) (FR), were investigated by means of aero-topographical studies, geophysical prospecting and archaeological field survey. All research activity has been carried out by a team involved in Laboratory of Ancient Topography and Photogrammentry of University of Salento. The work has been organized according to the great archaeological potentialities offered by the site. Starting from the collected data, archaeological excavation campaigns have been carried out. Thanks to the archaeological excavation campaigns led at the heart of the ancient Roman town, great results have been got. In particular, the knowledge of a central part of the built-up area was improved, where there are public buildings (thermal baths). In the implementation phase is a project of innovative “musealization” based on augmented reality and of Kinect technology, in order to make intelligible to a wider audience as possible the structural evidence and the significant materials from the excavation.

La majorité des biens turcs inscrits sur la Liste du patrimoine mondial et sur la liste indicative de la Turquie sont des sites archéologiques, datant chronologiquement de la préhistoire au Moyen-Âge. Géographiquement, ils sont situés aussi bien dans des montagnes et de hauts plateaux isolés que dans des zones naturelles accessibles ou des zones urbaines. Cet article expose les stratégies mises en place pour encourager l’intérêt des visiteurs et des communautés locales envers ces sites, en fonction des particularités temporelles et spatiales de chaque site, afin de proposer des expériences de qualité tout en assurant la protection de ces biens et en contribuant à un développement local durable.

El presente volumen recoge “11 experiencias de difusión del Patrimonio Arqueológico”, desde exposiciones temporales, centros de interpretación y musealización de yacimientos. Los autores (CoMo) creemos que la ausencia de manuales reales que muestren el proceso a las personas interesadas, desde estudiantes a otros profesionales, sería el primero de los objetivos del libro, es decir, mostrar de una manera clara los proyectos y su materialización práctica. Los manuales existentes son excesivamente teóricos y de difícil plasmación práctica. Se ha buscado la claridad de la exposición creativa, no hurtando al lector ningún elemento, que podrá utilizarse para un mayor conocimiento de los espacios, para trasladarlo a otras experiencias propias o para la propia crítica de los espacios generados. En este sentido, entendemos que la muestra es amplia y también recoge trabajos que como colectivo hemos generado a lo largo de casi diez años, en los que lógicamente nosotros mismo hemos ido cambiando nuestras formas de trabajo y la propia visión de la disciplina.
Por otro lado, se ha añadido la coletilla “para tiempos de crisis”, no en una visión oportunista del mercado actual. Entendemos que se trata de proyectos de escaso coste económico adecuados para su proyección y desarrollo en otros actuales, donde la ejecución a un bajo coste económico va a ser importante. Es cierto que se ha pretendido mostrar las posibilidades de desarrollar proyectos adecuados para estos tiempos de ”crisis” económica que nos ha tocado vivir. Sin embargo, la adjetivación de “crisis” va más allá de lo económico. Entendemos que la Arqueología se encuentra sumida en una profunda “crisis” en nuestro país y necesita de una profunda trasformación, que lógicamente va afectar la narración del devenir histórico. Es obvio que seguiremos contando historias a través de los objetos y de los espacios que los acogen, los yacimientos. Sin embargo, el gran reto de la difusión arqueológica de siglo XXI consistirá en gran medida en la explicación de los Paisajes Culturales, esos escenarios modificados y trasformados por el hombre a lo largo de miles de años. En este sentido, hemos incluido dos experiencias “utópicas” que muestran las posibilidades de abordar la explicación de estos espacios naturales antropizados, una como un hito y la otra como un itinerario. Será esta una tarea compleja, ya que parece claro que el espacio que explica el objeto es el Museo; el yacimiento excavado en el Centro de Interpretación, así como la propia musealización del mismo, pero el Paisaje Cultural resulta difícil de interpretar desde un Museo u un yacimiento, habrá que generar espacios nuevos.
En resumen esperamos que el lector encuentre respuestas en la lectura del presente trabajo, pero sobre todo que desarrolle a través del mismo nuevas experiencias que permitan trasmitir a la sociedad un mejor conocimiento de su pasado. No queremos dejar pasar la oportunidad de agradecer a nuestros clientes el habernos dado la oportunidad de trabajar en estas experiencias. Nada debe ser más grato para un arqueólogo que la oportunidad de trabajar para la sociedad revertiendo el conocimiento científico al gran público.
Finalmente, queremos agradecer a Juancho Rello, Saúl Esclarín, María y Sonia Jaque, Germán López por ayudarnos en el trabajo de la Ribera Baja del Ebro; a Lourdes Prado y Alberto Fuentes por su colaboración en la exposición de los Yeseros de Valdemoro; a Albert Ribera, Carmen Narro y Lourdes Gómez-Gil por su ayuda en la remodelación del espacio de L’Almoina de Valencia; a Manuel Casas y Sandra Alarcón por el asesoramiento del espacio de Ars Natura; a Jesús Carrobles, Rafael Barroso, Germán Corpacho y Enrique Navarro por las ideas y dibujos para el Centro de Interpretación de Melque; a Mariano Escribano, Pepe Salvador y Joaquín Latova por su entusiasmo para sacar adelante las Jornadas y el Centro de Interpretación de Hiendelaencina y, por último, a Andrés Jaque por su proyecto para el acondicionamiento del Cerro de la Gavia. Sin todos ellos no habríamos sido capaces de materializar los proyectos que presentamos en este volumen.

It is intended to explain the defining process, the architectonic and the exhibition project of the first archaeological site selected to start the program of Accessible Archaeological Sites in Madrid, which has been done by a multidisciplinary team. Only one building lies within the archaeological site, which has enabled its preservation and communicative interest to be retained. The explanation has been laid out according to its " discovery sequence ". The building has a dome and a footbridge. The visitor goes around the site at ground level and, later on, goes up to a higher level in order to obtain a holistic view of the site. During this walk, the visitor discovers the " interesting points " and the reproductions of the household artefacts found at the site. At the end of the exhibition, a video summarizing what has been discovered is shown.

La mayoría de los bienes turcos inscritos en la Lista del Patrimonio Mundial y la Lista Indicativa son sitios arqueológicos. Los inscritos en la lista principal abarcan cronológicamente desde la prehistoria hasta la edad media, y geográficamente desde cumbres y serranías remotas hasta zonas naturales y urbanas accesibles. Este artículo describe estrategias de involucración de visitantes y comunidad local que se han desarrollado en base a particularidades temporales y espaciales para facilitar experiencias de calidad, pero que al mismo tiempo aseguren la protección de los sitios y contribuyan al desarrollo local sostenible.

En el caso de San Fernando los restos de la Real Fábrica de San Fernando fueron expoliados después de la Guerra Civil, en algunas zonas hasta las fosas de cimentación. Se conservaba en buen estado la fachada de la Fábrica, actual Ayuntamiento de la localidad, que se abre a una plaza donde se disponían las viviendas de los trabajadores. Se realizó una selección de los restos que permitían explicar las vicisitudes del edificio. Para la reconstrucción del volumen del edificio, con cuatro naves en torno a un patio rectangular se realizó aprovechando el diseño de edificación de viviendas sociales que restituían el volumen del edificio originario desaparecido. Se conservaron y musealizaron los hitos arquitectónicos mejor conservados, como el muro norte, el pavimentos de las prensas y la fuente ornamental que se construyó en el centro del patio fabril. Por otro lado, se marcó la existencia de una chimenea desmantelada que nos permitía entender los diferentes procesos de mecanización de la industria textil, desde los telares mecánicos a la introducción de las máquinas de vapor. Finalmente, se aprovecharon los accesos a la plaza para colocar una zona explicativa con la evolución de la fábrica a lo largo de su vida, empleando para ello planimetrías históricas y un pequeño texto explicativo

SEBASTIAN, Luís - Mosteiro de S. João de Tarouca: da investigação à musealização. In Atas das 1as Conferencias do Museu de Lamego/CITCEM. Lamego: Direção Regional de Cultura do Norte/Museu de Lamego. 2013, pp. 21-62.
O mosteiro masculino cisterciense de S. João de Tarouca foi fundado em 1140. Extinto em 1834, as suas dependências monásticas foram vendidas em hasta pública, sendo estas reaproveitadas como pedreira e
quase totalmente desmanteladas. Monumento Nacional desde 1956, foi sujeito a uma intensiva escavação arqueológica entre 1998 e 2007, da responsabilidade do agora extinto Instituto Português do Património
Arquitetónico (IPPAR). Já em 2008, pela mão da Direção Regional de Cultura do Norte, é integrado num projeto de abrangência regional centrado no Vale do Rio Varosa, subsidiário ao Vale do Rio Douro, Património da Humanidade, numa rede de monumentos abertos de forma integrada à fruição pública, tendo ainda por núcleo principal o Mosteiro de Santa Maria de Salzedas e o Convento de Santo António de Ferreirim. Em curso desde 2009, este projeto encontra-se em avançado estado de realização, com a recuperação do edifício da igreja e a musealização da área arqueológica do Mosteiro de S. João de Tarouca já concluídas.
The male Cistercian monastery of S. John Tarouca was founded in 1140. Closed in 1834, its monastic dependencies were sold at auction, which are reused as a quarry and almost completely dismantled. National Monument since 1956, was subjected to intensive archaeological excavation between 1998 and 2007, the responsibility of the now defunct Instituto Português do Património Arquitetónico (IPPAR). In 2008, by the
hand of the Direção Regional de Cultura do Norte, is part of a region-wide project centered in Vale do Rio Varosa, subsidiary to the Douro River Valley, a World Heritage Site, a network of monuments seamlessly
open to public enjoyment, with an extra main core of the Monastery of Santa Maria Salzedas and Convent of Santo António Ferreirim. Ongoing since 2009, this project is in an advanced state of completion, with the
recovery of the church building and musealization the archaeological area of the Monastery of S. John Tarouca already completed.

Este trabajo presenta una aproximación al estado de la cuestión acerca de la puesta en valor del patrimonio histórico canario, ejemplificado a través del caso de la isla de Gran Canaria. En esencia, se plantea una diferenciación entre lo que se considera como espacios del "Mundo Aborigen", frente a los museos, y espacios relativos a la Edad Moderna. El análisis se centra en el horario de apertura y el número de visitantes con objeto de determinar el nivel de puesta en valor de los espacios patrimoniales, extrapolable al resto del archipiélago. Los resultados ponen de manifiesto una cierta desigualdad en cuanto al predominio del mensaje que se transmite a los visitantes, en su mayoría extranjeros y con muy poca presencia de peninsulares, sobre el pasado, siendo la parte relativa a la fase previa a la conquista donde se ha puesto más énfasis.
