Programme & Abstracts

This conference will explore the potential for communicating archaeology through both heritage tourism and local community initiatives. The archaeological profession is increasingly aware of how heritage can be developed and promoted to make a sustainable economic and social contribution, and it is imperative that we play a central role in such initiatives. We invite an examination of the ways in which the past can be experienced though places and activities, enabling authentic representations of the stories and people from prehistory to the present. Themes to be addressed will include the potential for creating a sense of place, memory and identity through archaeology, the importance of protecting local heritage and engaging with the public through participation, the educational value of archaeology and the potential for archaeology to contribute to sustainable tourism and local regeneration.
