This book offers a global perspective on archaeological survey and heritage management, emphasizing its relevance in contemporary society and the training of professionals.

This volume offers a thorough examination of the public dimensions of archaeological survey, conservation, protection, and display on a global scale. Archaeological Heritage Management in the Modern World represents the forefront of contemporary thought in a rapidly evolving and often passionate field. Traditionally, the study of these processes has focused on individual countries and their specific administrative and legislative frameworks. However, this book expands the discussion by providing extensive geographical coverage, shedding light on rights and guidelines that have previously been overlooked.

The text delves into the history and philosophy of archaeological heritage management, presenting a variety of case studies that range from regional to national and specialized contexts. It also addresses the crucial aspects of training and qualification for archaeologists engaged in heritage management. By integrating diverse perspectives and practices, Archaeological Heritage Management in the Modern World serves as a vital resource for understanding the complexities of managing archaeological resources in today's society.

Essential for students, researchers, and practitioners alike, this book is an indispensable guide for anyone involved in archaeological heritage management, public administration, or legal matters related to archaeology. By bridging the gap between theory and practice, it equips readers with the knowledge needed to navigate the challenges of preserving our archaeological heritage effectively.
