A study coordinated by Inrap and realised by Harris interactive
A survey on the European perception of archaeology and archaeological heritage
This booklet was created as part of a European cooperation programme called NEARCH, supported by the European Commission. The NEARCH partnership is designed to create new scenarios for archaeology and heritage; to foster the relationship between contemporary European societies and our realm of expertise. It aims to understand what citizens think and expect of their relation with heritage; involve communities in our processes, our decisions; and understand what it means for us as professionals. We are trying to create contexts to rethink our discipline and open our field to more collective and inclusive practices.
In order to obtain an objective view of the perception of heritage and archaeology we asked European citizens about their relation to it directly.
