Heritage Management……..what do we as archaeologists understand by that?
Is the heritage managed for its own sake & preserved for future generations or is it managed to make a quick buck today?
Possibly it is a fine balance between preserving/conserving a public resource but at the same time generating income from that resource that can be ploughed back into conservation.
Personally I think we are beginning to slip into the Dinsney heritage park approach
The theme park "Historic Briton" might help the economic crises but will it compromise our heritage?
