24-01-2019 ICAHM session at EAA: The Role of ICAHM in Supporting ICOMOS and UNESCO in the Context of World Heritage Sites

This session aims at discussing the role of archaeologists in general and heritage managers in particular in the context of World Heritage (WH), as ICAHM is UNESCO’s advisory body for this topic. Europe is the region with most WH sites in the world. Many of them are archaeological sites. On the one hand, this imbalance is a sign for the ‘hegemonic Western vision of Archaeological (Cultural) Heritage’ (UNESCO’s Global Strategy 1994), on the other hand Europe serves as a great field experiment in heritage management. This session wants to discuss examples of best practice or other experiences highlighting archaeological heritage management issues at European World Heritage Sites.

28.08.2018 - Henry Cleere

ICAHM is deeply saddened by the news of Henry Cleere’s passing. Henry Cleere was one of the founding fathers of ICAHM and authors of the 1990 ICAHM Lausanne Charter for the Protection and Management of the Archaeological Heritage. Henry Cleere has been an inspiration for all those involved in archaeological heritage management and he will be deeply missed. We wish his family and loved ones much strength in this difficult time.
