2nd Call

CADSES is rich in its archaeological heritage. In the ARCHEOSITES project cultural resources are considered a key element for territorial development and a crucial factor for the elaboration of common spatial development strategies. The main objective is to promote the introduction and diffusion of an integrated approach within the policies for cultural heritage enhancement of CADSES. It correlates the enhancement of the archaeological resources with the improvement of the connections between resources and territory and between the sites and the local economy. This means both the development of extensive partnerships of the actors and a more effective integration of cultural development programmes within regional and local development strategies and programmes. Moreover, a wider understanding of the large potential of cultural resources is necessary. Finally, a better qualification of human resources can be envisaged to acquire the skills and know-how necessary to manage integrated plans and programmes for the comprehensive management of archaeological resources. Training activities and exchange of experiences therefore need to be considered fundamental for the outcome of the project.

The results that Archeosites aimed at were: - Improvement of methodologies for archaeological resources protection and enhancement through the elaboration and dissemination of one study and three manuals (on the subjects of management, conservation and accessibility), - Development and reinforcement of specialised networks in the field of archaeological resources management (one transnational network) and wider dissemination of best practices and experiences (through four thematic workshops), - Experimentation on the field of new archaeological approaches focused on archaeological site management and development via actions concerning relevant archaeological areas (pilot projects: three in Italy, one in Germany and others in Bosnia and Yugoslavia), - Enhancement and development of skilled human resources (through training activities and study tours), - Increased awareness of specialists and the general public about the potential cultural and economic value of archaeological resources through the development of communication and information activities, such as a website, brochures, the ARCHEOSITES newsletter, info days, conferences and exhibitions.
