National Framework

In the Republic of Serbia, digitisation of cultural heritage was recognised as a segment of cultural development, while the digitisation process is understood as part of a complex system of managing cultural heritage in institutions of protection, such as museums, institutes for the protection of cultural heritage etc. By focusing on the issue of electronic/digital archaeological heritage management in Serbia's institutes for protection, this article briefly describes the national framework of archaeology in the country and presents some crucial moments in the journey towards digitisation and electronic management of archaeological heritage in Serbia since the 1990s. It also discusses recent efforts by the Ministry of Culture and Information in terms of regulating the procedure of cultural heritage digitisation and establishing a common information system. Finally, it identifies current challenges in archaeological data management in cultural heritage institutions and briefly discusses possible future scenarios.

Opinion Polls

Understanding the public by analysing the wants, interests and expectations regarding their involvement in archaeology is one of the strategic aims of Europae Archaeologiae Consilium (EAC). Cultural heritage has been the topic of several public opinion polls in Poland over the past few years. In 2011 and 2015, the Narodowy Instytut Dziedzictwa (National Institute of Cultural Heritage) carried out two representative surveys. Subsequent polls focusing on more specific issues or groups of respondents were undertaken in 2015, 2017 and 2018. Other data from Poland come from the 2017 Special Eurobarometer survey on cultural heritage. They can be contrasted with archaeology-orientated opinion polls: a Europe-wide survey carried out within the NEARCH project led by Inrap (French National Institute for Preventive Archaeological Research) and several smaller-scale projects, which might be treated as starting points for more representative research. The scope of these surveys includes: public perception of cultural heritage and archaeology, subjective value of cultural heritage, attitudes towards archaeology, relevance of archaeology for the present (also in terms of the socio-economic potential of archaeological heritage), people's interaction with archaeology and archaeological heritage, sources of information about archaeological heritage etc. Comparison of these data will serve to establish the relevance of surveys for archaeological heritage management. The author will also examine if the specific nature of archaeological heritage is reflected in the surveys and how the public feels about its most hidden heritage. Based on the results of her analysis, the author will look at the desired scope of a survey aimed at filling the identified gaps and shaped to fit the needs of evidence-based archaeological heritage management.

Protection Of Cultural Heritage

This paper clarifies and interprets the current problems in Vietnamese heritage management and suggests remedies through the case study at the Vuon Chuoi archaeological site. Through the analysis of the Vietnamese law on cultural heritage as well as examining behaviours of the stakeholders involved in heritage management, three issues that make Vietnamese archaeological heritage management more difficult are defined: (1) the law on cultural heritage is not forceful enough to protect the Vuon Chuoi site under the threat of construction projects; (2) overlapping jurisdictions make the model of cultural heritage in Hanoi inefficient. The authorities responsible for heritage management at all levels have failed to protect the Vuon Chuoi site properly in accordance with the Vietnamese law on cultural heritage and have shown their irresponsibility in the heritage management; and (3) there is a lack of cooperation between stakeholders to balance the need for economic development and the protection of cultural heritage in Vuon Chuoi area. Bài viết này nhằm mục đích xác định và giải thích một phần các thách thức gặp phải trong quản lý di sản và đề xuất các biện pháp khắc phục thông qua trường hợp nghiên cứu di chỉ khảo cổ Vườn Chuối. Qua phân tích Luật di sản văn hóa, mô hình quản lý di sản của Việt Nam và hành vi của các bên liên quan trong quản lý di sản, có ba thách thức khiến việc quản lý di sản khảo cổ Việt Nam trở nên khó khăn hơn được xác định là: (1) luật di sản văn hóa không đủ mạnh để bảo vệ di chỉ khảo cổ học Vườn Chuối trước sự đe dọa của các dự án xây dựng; (2) sự phân quyền chồng chéo trong quản lý làm cho mô hình di sản văn hóa ở Hà Nội không hiệu quả. Sự thiếu trách nhiệm của các cấp quản lý đã khiến Vườn Chuối nằm ngoài phạm vi bảo vệ của Luật Di sản Văn hóa; và (3) thiếu sự hợp tác giữa các bên liên quan trong việc cân bằng nhu cầu phát triển kinh tế và bảo vệ di sản văn hóa đã đẩy Vườn Chuối đến nguy cơ bị xóa sổ.

Archaeological Heritage Management

The origins of Korean archaeological heritage management can be traced to 1916, when Japan's Resident-general Government in Korea (Chōsen Sōtokufu: 1910-1945) promulgated the first comprehensive laws of historical preservation called the ‘Regulations for the Preservation of Korea's Remains and Relics’. They reflected a combination of late Meiji and early Taishō era laws tailored to the Korean peninsula such as Lost and Stolen Antiquities (1909); Temples and Shrines Protection Laws (1911); the Preservation of Stone and Metal Inscriptions (1916); and most significantly, the establishment of an administrative apparatus, the Committee on the Investigation of Korean Antiquities (1916). The Chōsen Sōtokufu Museum laws governing art exhibitions and display were compiled from Imperial Museum laws (Tokyo National Museum 1976) dating from 1890-1907 (Chōsen Sōkufu 1924: 215-30).

The Early 21St Century

This book examines a tense time in archaeological heritage management. Contemporary Pagan groups were actively contesting ancient sites and campaigning for human corporeal remains to be reburied. This book draws on ethnographic field research conducted by the author between 2008 and 2013 to analyse the contestation from both Pagan and heritage management perspectives.
