“…Exemplet är fiktivt, men inspirerat av undersökningarna i kvarteret Valnötsträdet i Kalmars medeltida stadsområde ( Larsson & Menander 2011, Söderström 2018, se också diskussion i Goudswaard et al 2012 ).…”

In this text we discuss how Swedish contract archaeology can develop its socialengagement by creating new areas of relevance to society, beyond the generalactivities of disseminating results. We do so by giving concrete examples of howthis can be done, using archaeological excavations as a starting point. The examplesinclude engaging the local community in future planning for a social sustainableliving environment, collaboration with the tourism sector, development of teachingmaterials for secondary schools, memory training for people with acquired braindamage, and school programs focusing on a socially sustainable and inclusive society.The purpose of the text is to inspire change, by showing development opportunitiesfor future contract archaeology that will benefit both performers and recipients,and contribute to society’s multifaceted needs.

“…Furthermore, tourism uses of heritage are still focused commonly on visitors' passive consumption of deterministic and definitive narratives of the past (Jorgensen, Dobson, & Heatherington, 2017). Certainly, in developer-funded archaeological tourism initiatives, apart from museums and exhibits, little use is made of discursive accounts reflecting varied layers of a site's socio-cultural aspects (Goudswaard, Bos, van Roode, & Pape, 2012). Nevertheless, studies are beginning to consider that heritage can be reframed via discourse and conscious (re)creation of meanings that best reflect its essence in the contemporary context (Jorgensen et al, 2017;Smith, 2006;Wu & Hou, 2015).…”

“…There are some exceptions, such as the above-mentioned study in Uppsala in which some of the administrators referred to the inspirational value of archaeological heritage in the planning of new built areas (Skyllberg, 2013). Goudswaard et al (2012b) make a similar suggestion of their interest in the "identity of the space and useable stories to inspire his or her development" (Goudswaard et al, 2012b, p. 138) (Goudswaard et al, 2012a). Otherwise, as Goudswaard et al (2012a) note, "the added value of archaeological research is rarely recognized" and developers are seldom incorporated in an active discussion about research and its demands.…”

This lack of dialogue reduces archaeology to one of many items on a checklist that has to be completed in the planning process.…”

Land developers are significant stakeholders of archaeological work in the developed world. A better understanding of their information practices is crucial for the preservation and management of archaeological heritage. This study investigates land developers' use, needs and conceptions of the usefulness-value of archaeological information and their views of development-led archaeological process. The findings are based on a survey of Finnish and Swedish land developers (N=34) that have contracted and financed archaeological fieldwork. The results show that the most useful information for land developers is data on the spatial location of archaeological sites but that the situation is much more nuanced than often suggested. Even if the most of the respondents were rather satisfied with the current situation, the lack of information can have major consequences and there are several obstacles to obtain relevant information. Extensive reliance on people sources can be seen both a symptom of the current problems and an indication of the importance of closer collaboration between archaeologists and land developers. Further, the study shows that the different levels of the perceived usefulness of specific types of archaeological information can be explained by the different regimes determining their worth in the two communities.
