The economic capital of archaeology : measurement and management
The economic aspects of archaeology are becoming increasingly emphasised by stakeholders inside and outside the discipline. However, archaeology is currently ill-equipped â conceptually and practically â to deal with the new demands this emphasis places. This research responds to that situation, develops and applies a new conceptual model fit to approach the use of archaeology as an economic asset, examines how archaeologyâs ability to act as an economic asset attracts value, and considers how archaeologists can best understand economic âcapitalâ. The thesis first examines current approaches to âvalueâ and âeconomicsâ in cultural heritage management and cultural economics, identifying a damaging divide between the âculturalâ and the âeconomicâ. A âCapital Modelâ is developed, which focuses on how value is created for the public and emphasises the equality and interrelationship of economic, social and cultural benefits of archaeological sites and materials.
