Universal Access to Archaeological Parks and Sites: A State of the Question Part II

Summary

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2024: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.

For whom does “access” address and do current laws, nationally based, regarding accessible design foster enough guidance for effective site updates – if not, what can we as heritage professionals do to foster a more inclusive visitor experience, and how can we support archaeological park managers to create more inclusive programming? This session explores case studies highlighting the intricacies and vast interpretations of “access” and continues the conversation of an international working group formed under the auspices of ICOMOS/ICAHM to produce international guidelines for an accessible programing and management for open air UNESCO World Heritage archaeological sites. As the members of the working group approach the publication of our guidelines, we invite you to join us for a wider discussion on accessibility with our archaeology colleagues working in all forms of archaeological parks. Please join us in discussing how to make archaeology more inclusive for all.
