1 OVERVIEW

This course aims to examine the theory and practice of archaeological site management, the

reasons for selecting sites for preservation, and the methods for successful management and

conservation of a site's significance. By the end of the course, students should be able to

understand and apply a planning process based on the recognition of a site's values and of its

interest groups, or stakeholders. Students will also learn practical methods for the physical

conservation of different categories of archaeological sites and will master a technical

vocabulary adequate to communicate with site management specialists. The course has an

international perspective and will appeal to students from a range of academic backgrounds

(e.g. archaeology, conservation, planning, architecture, museum studies). In balancing theory

and practice, it will suit those wishing to continue on to academic research and those seeking

employment in heritage administration or international organisations.

2 INTRODUCTION

This is the course handbook for ARCGL127 Managing Archaeological Sites. It outlines the

aims and objectives, structure and content of the course. It is also available on the Institute

web-site.

This Handbook should be used alongside the MA/MSc Handbook (also available on the

Institute web-site), which contains information about all MA and MSc degrees, and options

within them, being taught this year. The MA/MSc Handbook gives essential information on a

range of topics, from enrolment to guidance on the dissertation, so students should ensure that

they read it carefully. Distributed along with the MA/MSc Handbook are maps of the College

precinct and surrounding area of London, the complete MA/MSc teaching timetable and the

list of Personal Tutors to MA and MSc students. Students should consult this list to find out

who is to be their Personal Tutor for the year, and students should make contact with them

soon after their arrival to arrange a meeting.

If students have queries about the organisation, objectives, structure, content or assessment of

the course, they should consult the Course Co-ordinator.

3 AIMS, OBJECTIVES AND OUTCOMES OF THE COURSE

3.1 Background

This course aims to examine the theory and practice of archaeological site management, the

reasons for selecting sites for preservation, and the methods for successful management and

conservation of a site's significance. By the end of the course, students should be able to

understand and apply a planning process based on the recognition of a site's values and of its

interest groups, or stakeholders. Students will also learn practical methods for the physical

conservation of different categories of archaeological sites and will master a technical

vocabulary adequate to communicate with site management specialists. In balancing theory

and practice, it will suit those wishing to continue on to academic research and those seeking

employment in heritage administration or international organisations.

The emergence of archaeological site management as a discipline results from a combination

of factors: widespread concerns about the conservation and interpretation of archaeological

sites, including preservation in-situ, intellectual access to archaeological knowledge, and the

display of excavated sites; against a background of rising cultural tourism, pollution, climate

change and settlement expansion; and cognisant of issues of sustainable development and the

involvement of local communities in decision-making. Reactive intervention is not sufficient

to balance the long-term preservation of resources with the contemporary needs of users, and

Page 7: Managing Archaeological Sites

Managing Archaeological Sites Page 2

holistic approaches to site management are currently being theorised, problematicised and

explored worldwide, across a wide range of site types, and in disparate social, economic and

cultural environments.

International organisations such as ICOMOS and UNESCO, and in more recent years

ICCROM and the Getty Conservation Institute, are pushing the agenda of archaeological site

management, be it in World Heritage Sites or in sites of national or local importance. Among

several possible types of management, the model emerged through the Australian Burra

Charter has acquired worldwide respect, mainly for its sensitive approach to the issue of

stakeholders and local communities, and the development of the concept of valuing the

resource.

The syllabus is based upon a practical model of site management. The course will start by

exploring charters and recommendations formulated by national and international

organisations, the issue of authenticity, and how values and significance, held by different

interest groups, can underpin the management process. It will then examine practical issues in

the identification of values, stakeholders, and significance, and explore how these can assist

in the planning process, in formulating policies and strategies. The course will then explore

administrative contexts and how these influence both the process of developing and

implementation of a management plan. The model of management planning will be explored

through practical issues of site conservation, maintenance, visitor management, tourism, and

economic and social development.

As simple as the model can seem, the iterative process and the large number of actors makes

this management process a complex one. It is also one that does not stop with the publication

of the plan, but continues throughout its implementation. A series of case studies from around

the world will exemplify the complexity of the process and of its implementation.

The Institute is a recipient of the Conservation and Heritage Management Award, from the

Archaeological Institute of America, for exceptional achievement in these fields. Students

benefit from the Institute's emphasis on the role of heritage in today's society, from the art and

archaeology collections of University College London, and from the unrivalled resources of

London's museums. The Institute of Archaeology supports the principles of the 1970

UNESCO Convention and the 1995 UNIDROIT Convention and is unique as a UK academic

department in having an ethics policy concerning the illicit trade in antiquities.

To facilitate debate on the theory and methodology of value-based management planning

processes

To provide students with an understanding of the tools and the techniques for

documenting and assessing a site, producing a conservation and management plan, and

implementing it.

4.3 Learning outcomes

By the end of the course students should be able to demonstrate:

Observation and critical reflection

Application of acquired knowledge

Written and oral presentation skills

5 PROGRAMME STRUCTURE

5.1 Teaching schedule & methods

This course is timetabled in the first two terms, although assessed work is scheduled for

submission in the third term.

The course is taught through lectures, seminars, and practical sessions. In addition, at least

four fieldtrips (normally on Saturdays) will be arranged to give students greater familiarity

with the methods and techniques covered in the course.

Seminars have weekly recommended reading, which students will be expected to have done,

to be able fully to follow and to actively contribute to discussion.

Lectures will be held on Wednesdays: 4.00-6.00pm in G6 (Institute of Archaeology), except

on the 16th

October, 2013 (when there is a public lectures on). On the 16th

October we will be

in Room 612.

Seminars and practical sessions will take place in Room 410 (Institute of Archaeology) in

Term I and in Room 612 (Institute of Archaeology) in Term II. They are held on Tuesdays.

This is a two hour slot, 2.00-4.00pm. The seminar topics normally follow on from the lectures

of the previous week (so that you can take advantage of the concepts introduced during the

lecture, and those from the recommended readings). Some of the seminar sessions are

replaced by practical sessions, where specific approaches, such as conservation assessments,

will be experimented with.

You will be asked to prepare one seminar discussion during the course of the year. Further

details will be announced in class.

Page 9: Managing Archaeological Sites

Managing Archaeological Sites Page 4

Site visits will be undertaken: two during the first term and two during the second term.

Provisional dates for these are in the timetable, but these are subject to finalisation of the

arrangements and discussion with the class. Further details will be announced closer to the

date.

Except in the case of illness, the 70% minimum attendance requirement applies to lectures

and seminars on the course. Field trips are optional.

5.2 Workload

There will be 80 hours of seminars and lectures, as well as at least four site visits. Students

will be expected to undertake background reading for the course, plus preparing for and

producing assessed work.

5.3 Prerequisites

This course does not have any prerequisites.

7 COURSEWORK

7.1 Methods of assessment

The course is assessed by means of three pieces of coursework totalling c 8,000 words. The

first two pieces of work are each of 3,000 words. The third piece is approx. 2,000 words, but

there is no formal word limit for this piece: it is also likely that it will be heavily

illustrated/tabulated. Each of the three pieces contributes 33.3% to the final grade for this

module.

The topics and deadlines for each assessment are specified below. If students are unclear

about the nature of an assignment, they should contact the Course Co-ordinator. The Course

Co-ordinator will be willing to discuss an outline of their approach to the assessment,

provided this is planned suitably in advance of the submission date.

The course comprises 30 credits towards your total degree.

7.2 Assessment tasks

In this course your essays should examine theoretical issues, using archaeological sites and

practices, from any area, to illustrate your discussions.

Like most academic writing, your essays should present an argument supported by analysis.

Typically your analysis will include a critical evaluation (not simply description) of concepts

in some subset of archaeological management theoretical literature. Remember, you must

draw upon readings from multiple class sessions, examine some of the primary literature in

addition to secondary literature, and use references to support your assertions. The course co-

ordinator will be willing to discuss an outline of your approach to the assessment, provided

this is planned suitably in advance of the submission date.

For assignments 1 & 2, a range of possible essay topics is suggested below, but students are

also invited to identify an original topic in consultation with the course coordinator (the essay

title will be subject to their approval). The topic should be clearly related to at least one of the

themes covered in the classes. Students wishing to write on topics that have not yet been

covered in lectures are invited to seek additional guidance from the coordinators.

The nature of the third assignment, and possible approaches to it, will be discussed in class,

well in advance of the submission deadline.

If students are unclear about the nature of an assignment, they should discuss this with the

Course co-ordinator.

7.2.1 Assignment One: Submission deadline: 6th December, 2013

Please choose ONE of the questions below. Your essay should be 3000 words (in the range

2,850-3,150 words) in length. You should use illustrations as appropriate.

a) How has the concept of authenticity changed since the Venice Charter? Does it

still have a role in the management and conservation of archaeological sites and

landscapes?

b) Discuss the concept of values and how are they formed. What is their importance

in the compilation of a statement of significance?

Page 13: Managing Archaeological Sites

Managing Archaeological Sites Page 8

c) How might you balance potentially conflicting values in the management of

archaeological sites?

d) In what ways can a country’s legislation and government guidance create a

framework for archaeological site management?

e) Given that the involvement of local communities is important in the management

of archaeological sites, what could be done to encourage their participation?

f) Discuss the role of heritage professionals in decision-making at archaeological

sites.

g) In what circumstances would the reburial of archaeological remains be an

appropriate strategy? What practical and technical issues are involved in reburial?

h) Discuss the notion of 'sustainability' and its application to archaeological heritage

management.

i) Examine the sites currently selected as “World Heritage in Danger”

(http://whc.unesco.org/pg.cfm?cid=86). Discuss their selection and the role of the

“in danger” list.

7.2.2 Assignment Two: Submission deadline: 21st March, 2014

Please choose ONE of the questions below. Your essay should be 3000 words (in the range

2,850-3,150 words) in length. You should use illustrations as appropriate.

a) ‘Heritage tourism’ comprises a significant proportion of the global phenomenon of

tourism. Discuss the impacts and potential of heritage tourism on the management of

archaeological sites in developing countries.

b) Should visitor access to sites ever be limited for reasons of conservation?

c) Discuss the role of documentation, maintenance, and interpretation in managing

excavated earthen architecture.

d) What are the elements of an archaeological site management plan? What measures

are crucial to its success?

e) What are the constraints that are likely to influence the way a site or landscape is

conserved and interpreted to the public? Give examples.

f) Shelters on archaeological sites: visual intrusions or the only viable solution? Discuss

the key elements in decision-making about sheltering for excavated sites. Use

examples.

g) Explore one or more Management Plans for World Heritage Sites of your choice.

Discuss their aims, structure and effectiveness.

Is this work dominated by western conservation specialists’ emphasis on material

integrity and authenticity through materials, or does it reflect a mixture of western

and eastern conservation ethics and values? What do you think the strengths and

weaknesses of this form of collaboration to be?

7.2.3 Assignment Three: Submission deadline: 28th April, 2014

Prepare a statement of significance for a site of your choice. Use illustrations as appropriate.

Further guidance on this assessment will be provided during the course. There is no set word

limit for this piece of work (although it might be in the order of 2,000 words), as it depends

upon the best way of presenting the site and its values. It is expected that the piece will

include numerous illustrations and it may be appropriate to tabulate information.

7.3 Procedures

7.3.1 Word-length

Strict new regulations with regard to word-length were introduced UCL-wide with effect

from 2013.

Penalties for over-length coursework: for submitted coursework, where a maximum length

has been specified, the following procedure will apply:

i) The length of coursework will normally be specified in terms of a word count

ii) Assessed work should not exceed the prescribed length.

iii) For work that exceeds the specified maximum length by less than 10% the mark

will be reduced by ten percentage marks; but the penalised mark will not be

reduced below the pass mark, assuming the work merited a pass.

iv) For work that exceeds the specified maximum length by 10% or more, a mark of

zero will be recorded.

v) In the case of coursework that is submitted late and is also over-length, the

lateness penalty will have precedence.

The following should not be included in the word-count: title page, contents pages, lists of

figure and tables, abstract, preface, acknowledgements, bibliography, captions and contents of

tables and figures, appendices, and wording of citations.

7.3.2 Presentation

Essays and other assessed work must be word-processed (unless otherwise specified) and

should be printed on both sides of the paper, using 1.5-line spacing. Bibliographies may be in

single line spacing. Adequate margins should be left for written comments by the examiner.

Students are encouraged to use diagrams and/or tables where appropriate. These should be

clearly referred to at the appropriate point in the text, and if derived from another source, this

must be clearly acknowledged.

7.3.3 Citing of sources

Coursework should be expressed in a student’s own words giving the exact source of any

ideas, information, diagrams, etc. that are taken from the work of others. Any direct

quotations from the work of others must be indicated as such by being placed between

inverted commas.

Plagiarism is regarded as a very serious irregularity, which can carry very heavy penalties. It

is your responsibility to read and abide by the requirements for presentation, referencing and

Page 15: Managing Archaeological Sites

Managing Archaeological Sites Page 10

avoidance of plagiarism to be found in the IoA ‘Coursework Guidelines’ on the IoA website

http://www.ucl.ac.uk/archaeology/administration/students/handbook

There are strict penalties for plagiarism. Further details are available on the IoA website.

The term “plagiarism” means presenting material (words, figures etc.) in a way that allows

the reader to believe that it is the work of the author he or she is reading, when it is in fact the

creation of another person.

In academic and other circles, plagiarism is regarded as theft of intellectual property. In UCL

regulations, all detected plagiarism is to be penalised and noted on the student’s record,

irrespective of whether the plagiarism is committed knowingly or unintentionally. The whole

process of an allegation of plagiarism and its investigation is likely to cause considerable

personal embarrassment and to leave a very unpleasant memory, in addition to the practical

consequences of the penalty. The penalties can be surprisingly severe and may include failing

a course or a whole degree. It is thus important to take deliberate steps to avoid any

inadvertent plagiarism.

Avoiding plagiarism should start at the stage of taking notes. In your notes, it should be

wholly clear what is taken directly from a source, what is a paraphrase of the content of a

source and what is your own synthesis or original thought. Make sure you include sources and

relevant page numbers in your notes.

When writing an essay any words and special meanings, any special phrases, any clauses or

sentences taken directly from a source must be enclosed in inverted commas and followed by

a reference to the source in brackets. It is not generally necessary to use direct quotations

except when comparing particular terms or phrases used by different authors. Similarly, all

figures and tables taken from sources must have their origin acknowledged in the caption.

Captions do not contribute to any maximum word lengths.

Paraphrased information taken from a source must be followed by a reference to the source. If

a paragraph contains information from several sources, it must be made clear what

information comes from where: a list of sources at the end of the paragraph is not sufficient.

Please cite sources of information fully, including page numbers where appropriate, in order

to avoid any risk of plagiarism: citations in the text do not contribute to any maximum word

count.

To guard further against inadvertent plagiarism, you may find it helpful to write a plan of

your coursework answer or essay and to write the coursework primarily on the basis of your

plan, only referring to sources or notes when you need to check something specific such as a

page number for a citation.

7.3.4 Submission (including Turnitin)

Students are required to submit hard copy of all coursework to the course co-ordinator’s

pigeon hole via the Red Essay Box at Reception by the appropriate deadline. The coursework

must be stapled to a completed blue coversheet (available from the web, from outside Room

411A or from the IoA library).

Students should put their Candidate Number on all coursework. This is a 5 digit alphanumeric

code and can be found on Portico: it is different from the Student Number/ID. Please also put

the Candidate Number and course code on each page of the work.

It is also essential that students put their Candidate Number at the start of the title line on

Turnitin, followed by the short title of the coursework: e.g. YBPR6 Managing Sites.

Page 16: Managing Archaeological Sites

Managing Archaeological Sites Page 11

Please note the stringent UCL-wide penalties for late submission (given below). Late

submission will be penalized in accordance with these regulations unless permission has been

granted and an Extension Request Form (ERF) completed.

Date-stamping is via ‘Turnitin’ (see below), so in addition to submitting hard copy, students

must also submit their work to Turnitin by midnight on the day of the deadline.

It is essential that students upload all parts of their coursework to Turnitin (e.g. including the

bibliography and images). This ensures that a complete electronic copy of all work is

available in case an essay goes astray. Please be assured that markers will not include these

additional elements when checking word counts.

The Turnitin 'Class ID' for this course is 611621 and the 'Class Enrolment Password' is

IoA1314 (note that this is capital letter I, lower case letter o, upper case A, followed by the

current academic year). Further information is given on the IoA website

(http://www.ucl.ac.uk/archaeology/administration/students/handbook/turnitin). Turnitin

advisers will be available to help you via email: [email protected] if needed.

Students who encounter technical problems submitting their work to Turnitin should email

the nature of the problem to [email protected] in advance of the deadline in order that

the Turnitin Advisers can notify the Course Co-ordinator that it may be appropriate to waive

the late submission penalty.

If there is any other unexpected crisis on the submission day, students should telephone or

(preferably) e-mail the Course Co-ordinator, and follow this up with a completed ERF.

7.3.5 UCL-wide penalties for late submission of coursework

Where coursework is not submitted by a published deadline, the following penalties will

apply:

i) A penalty of 5 percentage marks should be applied to coursework submitted the

calendar day after the deadline (calendar day 1).

ii) A penalty of 15 percentage marks should be applied to coursework submitted on

calendar day 2 after the deadline through to calendar day 7.

iii) A mark of zero should be recorded for coursework submitted on calendar day 8 after

the deadline through to the end of the second week of third term. Nevertheless, the

assessment will be considered to be complete provided the coursework contains

material than can be assessed.

iv) Coursework submitted after the end of the second week of third term will not be

marked and the assessment will be incomplete.

v) Where there are extenuating circumstances that have been recognised by the Board of

Examiners or its representative, these penalties will not apply until the agreed

extension period has been exceeded.

vi) In the case of coursework that is submitted late and is also over length, only the

lateness penalty will apply. Students should note that these regulations will in most

cases result in failing this element and thus potentially failing the whole degree if a

single item of assessed work is submitted more than 7 days late.

If extensions are needed, please negotiate these in advance with the Course Co-ordinator. If

possible, use the standard Extension Request Form, but students may also need to request

extensions by email or, in extremis, by telephone.

Page 17: Managing Archaeological Sites

Managing Archaeological Sites Page 12

7.3.6 Grading

The grading system for coursework is set out in the MA/MSc Handbook. The mark given by

the initial examiner (prior to return) is a provisional assessment for the student's guidance, and

may be modified after assessment by the second internal examiner or by the External

Examiner.

7.3.7 Keeping copies

Please note that it is an Institute requirement that you retain a copy (this can be electronic) of

all coursework submitted. When your marked essay is returned to you, you should return it to

the marker within two weeks.

7.3.8 Timescale for return of marked coursework to students

You can expect to receive your marked work within four calendar weeks of the official

submission deadline. If you do not receive your work within this period, or a written

explanation from the marker, you should notify the IoA’s Academic Administrator, Judy

Medrington.

7.3.9 Re-submission of coursework

Students are not normally permitted to re-write and re-submit essays in order to try to

improve their marks. However, in exceptional circumstances and with the approval of their

Course Co-ordinator, they may if they wish, submit an additional piece of coursework (on a

new topic) to substitute for the first piece of written coursework submitted for their course.

7.3.10 Return of coursework

All marked coursework must be returned to the Course Co-ordinator within two weeks of its

return to students, so that it can be second-marked, and is available to the Board of

Examiners. Because assessed work forms part of the student's permanent academic record, it

needs to be retained until well after the completion of the degree. If work is not returned to

the Course Co-ordinator, the student will be deemed not to have completed the course.

Students are strongly advised always to keep a copy of all work, and to make a copy for

retention of all work after it has been assessed and commented upon by the first examiner, if

they wish to make future reference to the comments on the work.

9 DETAILED SYLLABUS

The following is an outline for the course as a whole, and identifies essential and

supplementary readings relevant to each session. Information is provided as to where in the

UCL library system individual readings are available (Institute of Archaeology library unless

otherwise stated); their location and Teaching Collection (TC) number, and status (whether

out on loan) can also be accessed on the eUCLid computer catalogue system. Readings

marked with an * are considered essential to keep up with the topics covered in the course.

Page 20: Managing Archaeological Sites

Managing Archaeological Sites Page 15

Copies of individual articles and chapters identified as essential reading are in the Teaching

Collection in the Institute Library (where permitted by copyright).

Supplementary reading is intended as wider guidance on the topic, if you become interested in

it, use it for essays or dissertations, or after you leave the Institute. You are not expected to

read all of this, but personal initiative is expected to supplement the essential reading. Where

seminar topics follow on from the preceding week’s lecture additional reading suggestions do

not appear. Where they explore a different issue, additional suggested reading may be listed.

9.1 AUTUMN TERM

Session 1 (lecture): Introduction. Why manage? What are we managing? (Tim

Williams)

The session will explore a broad introduction to practical and philosophical issues of research,

conservation, the expectations of interest groups and communities, the economic pressure to

develop sites for tourist purposes, and the necessity for predicting and managing change at

archaeological sites.

Session 2 (lecture): Authenticity, values and interest groups (Tim Williams)

What is authentic? What defines authenticity? What are values? How can they influence the

way a site is interpreted and managed? And who are the stakeholders? How can a site be

assessed for its significance? Who establishes significance? What should be conserved:

authenticity or significance?

Session 3 (practical): Exploring values (Tim Williams)

In this practical session you will be introduced to tools such as SWOT (Strengths,

Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats) & PESTLE (Political, Economic, Sociological,

Technological, Legal, Environmental) analyses, and POET visualisations tools, and use these

to explore values and attitudes to archaeological sites. We will undertake a practical example

of a SWOT analysis, exploring the site of Pompeii (Italy).

Further details and examples will be distributed on Moodle in advance.

Key readings:

In advance of the session, please look at and makes notes from:

The World Heritage Site listing for Pompeii http://whc.unesco.org/en/list/829 and in

particular the documents and reports at http://whc.unesco.org/en/list/829/documents/

Read the Pompeii parts of the 35th session of the World Heritage Committee

http://whc.unesco.org/en/sessions/35COM (also available on the Moodle site).

Look at the Hadrian’s Wall example on Moodle.

Session 4 (lecture): Management planning: models and approaches (Tim

Williams)

Management plans have become an established element of site management in recent years,

are required by many funding agencies, and are now a prerequisite for attaining World

Heritage Site status. Are they an appropriate tool for all sites? What should they aim to

achieve? How can they be applied?

Models for the planning process will be examined, including: the identification of aims,

values, stakeholders; documentation and description of the site and its conditions; assessment

and analysis of values, management context, and physical condition; developing long,

medium and short term goals through the establishment of policies, objectives, strategies and

tasks; issues of implementation and the monitoring.

“Value-based planning is an approach capable of being manipulated, or for the faint

of heart, of being turned into formulas or rules. It needs honesty, integrity, and

dedicated practice, but the reward is a far more intellectually engaging process,

yielding a deeper, broader, and more intimate understanding of what gives a site

relevance and meaning to society” (Demas 2002, 49-50).

What role do ethical and professional standards play in archaeological heritage management?

Can we establish international best practice that will assist in developing the quality of

archaeological resource management? Would that encourage capacity building? Or would

such standards serve to reinforce the imposition of a western hegemony of practice onto the

rest of the world?

Students will be asked to research & prepare material based on their own country or an

international agency. Details will be circulated in advance.

Session 8 (lecture): Legislation and charters – the international context (Tim

Williams)

Numerous international charters are concerned with, or impact upon, archaeological site

management. The ICOMOS Australia Burra charter, in its original and in its updated

versions, has had a profound influence upon the practice and development of site

management worldwide. More recently, the Valetta convention is reshaping work in Europe.

The lecture examines the difference between charters and conventions, their evolution and

some of the most important features and impacts. It also examines the future of legislative

frameworks and guidance.

Session 9 (lecture & discussion): implementing the Avebury Management Plan

(Sarah Simmonds, Avebury World Heritage Site Officer)

The Avebury Plan was last updated in 2005 and it is now time to review and update the Plan

once again. The new Plan will need to reflect progress on objectives in the 2005 Plan,

emerging opportunities and challenges and changes in the management context. Evaluation of

progress is now complete. The next step in the process will involve extensive engagement

with WHS stakeholders including partner organisations and the local community whose

experience, expertise and knowledge will help shape the updated Management Plan. Formal

consultation on the draft Management Plan will take place in 2013.

Session 11 (lecture): Case study: Implementing the World Heritage convention

(Christopher Young, English Heritage)

Christopher Young, Head of World Heritage and English Heritage, will discuss a wide range

of issues surrounding the development of World Heritage Sites management plans (for

example, his long-running work at Hadrian’s Wall - one of the few large management plans

that have been through a number of full-scale revisions, and subsequent to inscription been

integrated into the Roman Frontier trans-boundary World Heritage Site), and reactive

monitoring (for example, his recent work at Pompeii). He will also discuss the role of the

consultant in helping State Parties to develop nomination dossiers.

Session 12 (discussion): The future of World Heritage sites? (Henry Cleere &

Kirsty Norman)

What is the value of World Heritage designation today? What is the value of being a World

Heritage Site? Should we continue to add more and more sites to the list? Does that devalue

the existing list? Has the process become too bureaucratic and/or too political?

A round table discussion including Prof Henry Cleere (previous Head of ICOMOS), Kirsty

Norman & Tim Williams.

“Good decisions” in heritage management are based on timely, relevant and accurate

information about the conditions, materials and evolution of archaeological sites and

landscapes. Therefore, documenting, recording and analysis of heritage places is an essential

part of their conservation and management.

The session will explore: Concepts of documentation, information gathering, recording;

methodologies and tools for recording, documentation, inventories and information

management; integrating documentation in the site management process; topographic, GPS,

photogrammetric, and 3D laser scanning techniques, and archival research (historic,

archaeological, structural, condition); notions of ‘inventory’.

Session 14 (lecture): Preventive conservation and maintenance: including

shelters on archaeological sites (Tim Williams)

Preventive conservation and maintenance are two approaches to conservation that greatly

facilitate the responsibilities of the manager, reducing the need for costly, labour-intensive

conservation and restoration project.

Page 48: Managing Archaeological Sites

Managing Archaeological Sites Page 43

Shelters have been used for some time to protect archaeological features, most commonly

mosaics. How do we plan for their use? What are the design considerations? How do we

balance aesthetics and visual impact with conservation and education?

[Reburial, another key element of preventive conservation, is addressed in Session 15.]

Session 15 (lecture): Reburial of archaeological sites (Kirsty Norman)

Reburial is increasingly being used as a conservation treatment to solve some of the problems

posed by the management of archaeological sites. It is often seen as cost-effective and easy to

achieve, but without careful planning it can be a damaging intervention.

Session 18 (lecture): Case study: Developing Governance (Kirsty Norman)

This session explores how site management is structured, the role of a Site Coordinator and

development of governance structures.

These issues are explored through the case study of Wearmouth & Jarrow, an extensive

monastic site in north-east England. The lecture traces the process and strategies as they

unfolded during a World Heritage Nomination bid, how the ICOMOS evaluation process

worked and, after the failure of the bid, where next for the landscape?

Session 19 (informal discussion): Discussion of placement opportunities (Tim

Williams & Kirsty Norman)

Discussion of the role of placements and opportunities for 2013.

This session only needs to be attended by Managing Archaeological Sites degree course

students, but it can also be attended by students of other MA degree courses that require a

placement as part of the degree.

Session 20 (lecture): Interpretation strategies at open-air archaeological sites

(Sarah Dhanjal)

People perceive visiting sites in very different ways – they have differing motivations,

expectations and needs. How can these expectations be realised or enhanced or, with

unsympathetic management, destroyed, devalued, or simply marginalised into economic trade

goods? Opportunities to approach interpretation, outside of a museum-style context.

Session 21 (lecture): Case studies in site interpretation (Dirk Bennett)

How do we plan interpretation at archaeological sites? What tools and techniques can be used

to improve the way visitors arrive, experience, and leave the site? What is the relationship of

visitor centres to site experiences? How can audio-visual tools be used?

Reading:

See under Session 20.

Session 22 (lecture): Recording, managing, conserving and interpreting urban

archaeological sites (Tim Williams)

Urban sites present complex issues: the values of archaeological sites are often ignored or

minimised, especially when faced with the pressure of urban communities. How can site

management be integrated with the economic, social, and cultural life of a place? Is it possible

to include archaeology in an urban environment or will the relationship always remain

antagonistic?

Session 24 (lecture): Cultural tourism and sustainability (Tim Williams)

Tourism is now arguably the largest industry in the world, and cultural tourism represents a

significant element of this global industry. For many developing countries cultural tourism is

seen as a key element of poverty relief and economic sustainability. There are many different

forms of tourism; with negative and positive impacts; and different relationships and

structures within and between governments, local communities, and tourism industry. We will

explore concepts of sustainability; poverty; management strategies; and issues in

environmental and cultural conservation.

Session 26 (lecture): Case study: The Kasubi Tombs and heritage management in

Uganda (Andrew Reid)

On the night of 16th

/17th March 2010, the Kasubi Tombs, Uganda’s sole cultural World

Heritage site was entirely consumed by fire. This lecture will introduce the significance of the

site, explore its management and consider the issues that are being tackled in the process of

reconstruction that is on-going. This enables us to consider several broader issues relating to

ownership of cultural property and the notion of authenticity. On the latter point, authenticity

is particularly relevant since the site itself is more a feature of colonial times than of the

period prior to the arrival of Europeans. Does this matter? Consideration will also be given to

other elements impacting heritage management in Uganda, which offers important insights

into the pressures and requirements of managing heritage in a developing country.

Session 28 (lecture & discussion): Council of Europe and the Valletta convention

(Adrian Olivier)

The European Convention on the Protection of the Archaeological Heritage (Revised), better

known as the Valletta Convention or the Malta Convention (1992), raised numerous issues

regarding the management of archaeological resources in Europe. It aims to protect the

European archaeological heritage "as a source of European collective memory and as an

instrument for historical and scientific study. All remains and objects and any other traces of

humankind from past times are considered to be elements of the archaeological heritage. The

archaeological heritage shall include structures, constructions, groups of buildings, developed

sites, moveable objects, monuments of other kinds as well as their context, whether situated

on land or under water" (Article 1).

The Convention is an international legally binding treaty within Europe. It places the revised

Convention in the framework of activities of the Council of Europe concerning the cultural

heritage since the European Cultural Convention came into force.

The key messages are described on the CoE website

(http://www.coe.int/t/dg4/cultureheritage/heritage/archeologie/valletta_pres_EN.asp).

Monitoring and enforcement represent a major challenge and tis session will discuss the way

forward.

Session 31 (seminar): The role of archaeological excavation in managing

archaeological sites (Class-led)

“As excavation always implies the necessity of making a selection of evidence to be

documented and preserved at the cost of losing other information and possibly even

the total destruction of the monument, a decision to excavate should only be taken

after thorough consideration.

Excavation should be carried out on sites and monuments threatened by development,

land-use change, looting, or natural deterioration.

In exceptional cases, unthreatened sites may be excavated to elucidate research

problems or to interpret them more effectively for the purpose of presenting them to

the public. In such cases excavation must be preceded by thorough scientific

evaluation of the significance of the site. Excavation should be partial, leaving a

portion undisturbed for future research.”

archaeological heritage (1990)

identification are just some of the factors.

The growing role of landscape management.

«The landscape … has an important role in the cultural, ecological, environmental

and social fields, and … contributes to the formation of local cultures and … is a

basic component of the natural and cultural heritage, … is an important part of the

Session 36 (lecture): Management of archaeological resources in the coastal zone

(Joe Flatman)

The coastal zone provides a major challenge, and opportunity, for the management of

archaeological resources. Often a rich area for research, with coastal installations and

changing sea levels, it is increasingly under threat from climate change and “managed

retreats”. How should we approach the management of this resource? What is the balance

between documentation and conservation, especially when the latter can be very expensive?

How can it be integrated in other concerns, such as environmental protection?

Session 38 (lecture): The Silk Roads - a case study in a serial trans-boundary

nomination strategies (Tim Williams)

Representivity on the World Heritage list has become a major issue. In 1996, the World

Heritage Committee launched the Global Strategy for a Representative, Balanced and

Credible World Heritage List: the aim was to ensure that the List reflects the world's cultural

and natural diversity of outstanding universal value

One approach to addressing unrepresented regions was to develop large-scale serial

nomination projects, the largest of which is the Silk Roads project across Asia to the

Mediterranean. This lecture will explore the role of the ICOMOS thematic study, the

development of a nomination strategy and approaches to working on trans-boundary and

serial nominations (which require very different strategies to sites within a single State Party

boundary). The lecture will explore the strengths and weaknesses of such approaches.

10 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

10.1 Communication

The primary channel of communication within the Institute of Archaeology is e-mail. If you

wish to be contacted on your personal or work e-mail address, please arrange for e-mail sent

to your UCL address to be forwarded to your other address, since staff and other students will

expect to be able to reach you through your College e-mail, which they can find on the UCL

web-site. Students must consult their e-mail regularly, as well as the student pigeon-holes in

the Basement Common Room for written communications. Please also ensure that you keep

your contact details (especially your telephone number) up to date on Portico, in case you

need to be contacted.

10.2 Attendance

Registers will be taken at all classes, and Departments are required to report the attendance of

each student to UCL Registry at frequent intervals throughout each term. If you are unable to

attend a class, please email the course co-ordinator to explain, in order to ensure that there is a

record of the reasons for your absence.

It is a College regulation that attendance at lectures, seminars and practicals be monitored. A

70% minimum attendance at all scheduled sessions is required (excluding absences due to

illness or other adverse circumstances, provided that these are supported by medical

certificates or other documentation, as appropriate).

Students should also be aware that potential employers seeking references often ask about

attendance and other indications of reliability.

10.3 Information for intercollegiate and interdepartmental students

Students enrolled in Departments outside the Institute should collect hard copy of the

Institute’s coursework guidelines from Judy Medrington’s office (411A).

10.4 Libraries and other resources

In addition to the Library of the Institute of Archaeology, other libraries in UCL with

holdings of particular relevance to this course are the Anthropology and Bartlett libraries.

10.5 Dyslexia

If you have dyslexia or any other disability, please make your lecturers aware of this. Please

discuss with your lecturers whether there is any way in which they can help you. Students

with dyslexia are reminded to indicate this on each piece of coursework.

10.6 Health and Safety

The Institute has a Health and Safety policy and code of practice which provides guidance on

laboratory work, etc. This is revised annually and the new edition will be issued in due

course. All work undertaken in the Institute is governed by these guidelines and students have

a duty to be aware of them and to adhere to them at all times. This is particularly important in

the context of the laboratory/field/placement work which will be undertaken as part of your

degree.

10.7 Feedback

In trying to make this course as effective as possible, we welcome feedback during the course

of the year. Students will be asked to fill-in Progress Forms at the end of each term, which the

Degree Co-ordinator will discuss with them, which include space for comment on each of

their courses.

At the end of each course all students are asked to give their views on the course in an

anonymous questionnaire, which will be circulated at one of the last sessions of the course.

These questionnaires are taken seriously and help the Course Co-ordinator to develop the

course. The summarised responses are considered by the Degree Co-ordinator, the Institute's

Staff-Student Consultative Committee, Teaching Committee, and by the Faculty Teaching

Committee.

If students are concerned about any aspect of a specific course, we hope they will feel able to

talk to the relevant Course Co-ordinator, but if they feel this is not appropriate, or have more

general concerns, they should consult their Personal Tutor, Academic Administrator (Judy

Medrington), or the Chair of Teaching Committee (Dr. Karen Wright).
