Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
The section opens with an introduction to the basic themes and subject matter by Henry Cleere (400--2). This provides an overview of legislative and doctrinal developments, particularly the Charter for the Protection and Management of the Archaeological Heritage ratified by the General Assembly of ICOMOS (International Council on Monuments and Sites) in 1990 and published here in full for the first time in any archaeological journal. Also considered is the more widely publicised 1992 revision of the European Convention on the Protection of the Archaeological Heritage which covers much the same areas of interest. This is followed by the aforementioned document, namely `The Charter for the Protection and Management of the Archaeological Heritage' (402--5). Nine articles cover: definition of the archaeological heritage; the need for integrated protection policies; the role of legislation and economics; the need for comprehensive survey information; standards of excavation work; the maintenance and conservation of sites; presentation and reconstruction for the public; professional standards; and international cooperation. `The European Convention on the Protection of the Archaeological Heritage' by Patrick J O'Keefe (406--13) outlines the original 1969 Convention and factors prompting its revision. Though not published in full, an overview of the document is provided covering: definition of the cultural resource; jurisdiction; construction projects; protective measures; the dissemination of knowledge; funding; unlawful trade in antiquities; technical and scientific assistance; supervision of international compliance with the Convention; and final clauses dealing with the revised Convention's future operation. `The new European Convention on the Protection of the Archaeological Heritage' by Gustaf Trotzig (414--15) provides an overview of the salient developments manifest in the Convention, particularly the redefinition of the archaeological resource to cover a broader spectrum of data, including underwater sites. It is also noted that future campaigns to promote awareness of the archaeological heritage will begin in 1994, firstly taking the theme `The Bronze Age -- the first Golden Age of Europe'. G J Wainwright (416--21) offers `The management of change: archaeology and planning' which describes provision for archaeology within the planning process as enshrined in Planning Policy Guidance Note 16. The revised Convention provides a European framework for the developments embodied in PPG 16 and this paper concerns in particular the urban archaeological resource, landscapes of historic importance and sites designated of World Heritage importance. `Preservation and the academically viable sample' by Bill Startin (421--6) examines how the problem of preservation versus destructive examination is approached in various written guidelines for archaeological practice. The definition of the minimum viable sample to be left for future generations is suggested. Ricardo J Elia (426--38) presents `US cultural resource management and the ICAHM Charter' providing an American perspective on the Charter's application, whilst Riemer Knoop (439--45) considers `Public awareness and archaeology: a task for the voluntary sector'. The latter article evaluates the potential role and future strategy for the voluntary sector in Europe represented by, amongst others, the European Forum of Heritage Associations. There is a call for its role to be extended with strategy and policy structures resembling those of the burgeoning, amateur, environmental lobby. | |||||
