Conference Programme
The conference addressed the topic of Archaeology and Economic Development from many angles. As well as the conceptual ideas that underpin any action in this area, a large part of the conference was given to technical and practical matters, ethics, and methods for management of archaeological and heritage projects as they are encountered by archaeologists in the field seeking to use archaeology to advance local economic conditions.
The conference was organised around a variety of themes. To facilitate discussion each session was built around a panel addressing the theme and papers from the panel members were pre-circulated to all participants. The large majority of the time for each panel was used for questions from the floor and debate. The conference consisted of single-topic sessions (rather than in parallel) to maximise cross-fertilization of ideas and experience among delegates.
