Archaeological projects have been for many years now considered enterprises run mainly by public funding. Additionally, in many countries it is a commonly accepted notion that supporting heritage will automatically mean money loss and the need for extra funding is a constant “curse” for many fieldwork archaeologists. In particular cases insufficient funding
precludes the management of the site from running even basic maintenance work, consequently causing bad publicity, as less areas become accessible for visiting, and reducing the opportunities to improve the site facilities.
The primary purpose of this session is to gather experts from different countries and backgrounds to share their research, on-site managing experience and models of working on particular case studies. The papers should focus on major issues encountered during the development of projects and on methods for creating a successful management and business plan, solutions for common financial issues (such as negotiations with different shareholders, public
and private investors, visitors, etc.). The session aims at discussing: funds management, patterns for developing effective networks between archaeological sites and establishment of links between local communities and the nearby sites.
The second purpose is to define limitations in achieving financial self-efficiency while conducting a project and stating whether some of them had been crossed already, diminishing the core values of Heritage and introducing the risks of the "Disney-fication".
The ultimate goal of the session is to provide foundations for further improvements in the creation of self-efficient management plans for archaeological sites, to understand if it is justified to look at an archaeological site as if it was a private company, which has to rely on its own micro economy in order to avoid the risk of abandonment or closure, and its own income, the surplus of which can be immediately re-invested into new research, staff training and facilities improvements.
