Constraints and stakes in enhancing archaeological landscapes in the digital age

Léa de Bruycker

Résumé

From the early 1980s, UNESCO has designated some of the world's immovable masterpieces of archaeological interest as a World Heritage of Humanity. Some sites, here described as "archaeological landscapes", are inseparably natural and cultural in nature, being deeply connected both to their ecological and geological environment, and to their cultural background both ancient and modern, including their economic and tourist potential. This multifaceted nature comes with specific natural and anthropogenic threats, as well as specific constraints on their preservation and enhancement. This celebrated but fragile heritage has recently benefited from the advances of the digital revolution, in the context of an "open society" approach to cultural assets. Through digital "copies" of archaeological sites and their environment, both online and as 3D replicas, such properties are today being preserved, examined, and circulated to the public on a global scale. Simultaneously, current trends in several disciplines dealing with heritage have started to question patrimonialization processes by addressing major anthropological and ethical issues. Within this transitional context, we here examine the case of archaeological landscapes, from the combined viewpoints of integrated management of heritage promotion, preservation, awareness-building and local economical development, in the perspective of present-day trends in museum science and patrimonial anthropology.
