Résumé en anglais
Gustaf Trotzig, a founder of ICAHM, states that ‘Representation of sites to the public takes many forms and have varying impacts on the archaeological remains and the ‘soul or spirit of the site’. Archaeological
resources are a key component of global travel and local economies. How places are presented to the public varies wildly from entirely unkempt hidden treasures to highly manicured multimedia extravaganzas. An exhaustive survey of the heritage literature indicates that there have been fundamental shifts in the emphasis of archaeological heritage management from where academic values stressed knowledge and publication with the involvement oflocal peoples to the approach of today that caters for visitors and managers with little tangible outcomes by way of improving our understanding of theresource. Guidelines have been drafted for the ICAHM Charter that draws strongly upon the published experiences of archaeologists that explores thekinds of approaches that characterize best heritage practice.
