Listing Archaeological Sites, Protecting the Historical Landscape

In March 2008, the Ninth Symposium of the Europae Archaeologiae Consilium was held in Tàrgoviste, Romania, and was devoted to the topic of the listing of archaeological sites and its role in protecting the archaeological landscape. This collection of papers presents an overview of the developments, emphases and current approaches to the topic in the different participating European countries. Keywords are legislation, GIS, implementation and historical landscape. Implementation is illustrated by some examples which show how listing can be used to protect valuable cultural landscapes.
