“…This does not mean that we have to refrain from conducting research among them, as is at times posited (either collaboration or no research at all). It is important to remember the form of excessive hospitality that characterizes many non-Western societies and that contrasts with the extremely restricted model of Western modernity [53]. Many of our anxieties about how to behave ethically as archaeologists with indigenous groups stem from a moral imagination that has a limited sense of hospitality and that works with the quid pro quo model of capitalism: we have to give something immediately in exchange from what we take and of similar value.…”

Ethical Issues in Indigenous Archaeology: Problems with Difference and Collaboration

The critique of archaeology made from an indigenous and postcolonial perspective has been largely accepted, at least in theory, in many settler colonies, from Canada to New Zealand. In this paper, I would like to expand such critique in two ways: on the one hand, I will point out some issues that have been left unresolved; on the other hand, I will address indigenous and colonial experiences that are different from British settler colonies, which have massively shaped our understanding of indigeneity and the relationship of archaeology to it. I am particularly concerned with two key problems: alterity – how archaeologists conceptualize difference – and collaboration – how archaeologists imagine their relationship with people from a different cultural background. My reflections are based on my personal experiences working with communities in southern Europe, Sub-Saharan Africa and South America that differ markedly from those usually discussed by indigenous archaeologies.

“…Numa perspetiva contrária, o turismo acaba por ser um fator prejudicial e com impactos negativos para os recursos patrimoniais (Budowski, 1976;Herrera, 2015). Outro aspeto negativo relaciona-se com a existência de um elevado número de bens arqueológicos identificados que não são protegidos e não possuem nenhum tipo de classificação.…”

Os vários Caminhos de Santiago que atravessam o distrito de Vila Real, nomeadamente o Caminho Português Interior de Santiago (CPIS), o Caminho de Torres, o Caminho das Terras de Basto e a Variante Coração D’Ouro, possuem no seu entorno diversos bens arqueológicos, encontrando-se alguns destes bens integrados nos próprios percursos, tal como pontes, vias, edificações religiosas, entre outros. Perante esta perspetiva, este estudo tem como objetivo principal identificar os bens arqueológicos existentes em torno dos Caminhos de Santiago localizados no distrito de Vila Real, bem como analisar a sua tipologia e a sua componente turística. Em termos metodológicos, foram delineadas duas fases. Numa primeira fase, procedeu-se à análise documental e à consulta de bases informáticas como o Portal do Arqueólogo e do Sistema de Informação para o Património Arquitetónico (SIPA) com vista à identificação dos sítios e dos recursos arqueológicos. Numa segunda fase, foram criadas fichas de análise para se proceder à caraterização destes recursos e foi realizada a sua georreferenciação. Será demonstrado que existem inúmeros bens arqueológicos em torno dos Caminhos de Santiago e que estes se encontram devidamente integrados na oferta turística dos Caminhos.

“…It was only in the years immediately before the turn of the twenty-first century that a strong interest emerged in this field (Hoffman et al 2002). Today it is a growing field of study with recent articles exploring a diversity of related issues (e.g., Bowers 2014;Comer 2012;Herrera 2015;Walker and Carr 2013). This recent surge of interest has also produced a growing body of literature in China, one of the countries where archaeological tourism is becoming a key economic asset.…”

Worldwide archaeological tourism, or tourism to sites with archaeological significance, has been rapidly growing and has attracted increased academic attention in recent years. China is an outstanding case in this field. In fact, its government has been actively promoting tourism and archaeological tourism for the last three decades. The understanding of the challenges that Chinese archaeological tourism is currently facing is the focus of this article. Four aspects will guide the discussion: the dilemma between site preservation and economic profitability, unregulated tourism development, the influence of UNESCO World Heritage designation, and authorities' sensitivity towards ethnic issues in archaeological tourism.
