“…The absolute numbers employed in archaeology has fallen significantly between 2008 and 2014 in the twenty-one participating states; organisations employing archaeologists have typically become smaller; a slight decline in sectoral transnational mobility; archaeologists are increasingly educationally mobile; and vocational education and training (VET) in the sector is almost universally delivered by universities through academic degree programmes. (Aitchison et al 2014, 6-8) Yet the results of this repeated survey of the profession in Europe did not reveal significant changes in approaches in teaching and training as only few relevant university curricula and programmes were developed or modified as a direct consequence of the survey's findings (Aitchison et al 2014).…”

The concept of archaeological heritage management (AHM) has been key to wider archaeological research and preservation agendas for some decades. Many universities and other education providers now offer what is best termed heritage management education (HME) in various forms. The emphasis is commonly on archaeological aspects of heritage in a broad sense and different terms are often interchangeable in practice. In an innovative working-conference held in Tampere, Finland, we initiated a debate on what the components of AHM as a course or curriculum should include. We brought together international specialists and discussed connected questions around policy, practice, research and teaching/training, at local, national, transnational and World Heritage levels. In this article we take the Tampere discussions further, focusing especially on the meaning, necessity, implications and prerequisites of interdisciplinary HME. We offer our thoughts on developing HME that reflects the contemporary aspects and needs of heritage and its management.

“…In 2008, in broad brush terms, work to preserve by record supported nearly two-thirds (65 per cent) of the posts in the UK archaeology sector, with a further 16 per cent employed in using and communicating that information via Historic Environment Records (HERs). 3 The key task for the archaeologist is to translate the raw data from fieldwork into structured information. In contrast, for the buildings specialist in a very real sense the building is the record.…”

“…The legitimate question is whether archaeology (archaeologists) is sufficient in number (capacity) for a large increase in construction activities after 1989 and thus the need to ensure the implementation of rescue archaeological excavation. A simple answer would state that not in its entirety, even though the Czech archaeological community corresponds in its composition and number to communities in other states of European Union (Aitchison et al, 2014;Cleary et al, 2014).…”

Abstract. Thorough knowledge of the area on which the construction or similar activities are to take place is the basis for responsible decision-making and for the elimination of unpleasant surprises. Central Europe is an area where archaeological monuments can be discovered on almost every plot. Their presence can mean expanding our knowledge of the past and significantly enriching our cultural heritage. The builder often sees the presence of archaeological sites as an obstacle. The position of archaeological monuments in term of ownership is unusual. The land is usually owned by builder, but the archaeological findings themselves are the property of the Regions according to the Act on Protection of Monuments. Archaeological monuments can be examined on each plot by non-destructive methods that determine their extent. The following is a decision as to whether the original plan will be implemented or withdrawn. Implementation of the project is preceded by rescue archaeological research, the course of which is also regulated by law. Carefully executed rescue excavation means saving the testimony of the past and the importance of the place and for the builder to release the land for implementation of the project.
