The Phenomenal Experience of Italian Archaeological Heritage: Exploring the Perceptions of the Villa of the Antonines Project

Summary

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Cultural Heritage Laws and Policies, Political Economy, and the Community Importance of Archaeological Sites", at the 2024 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology.

This presentation explores a framework of the experience of ancient cultural heritage from the perspective of the potential stakeholders within the surrounding community of the Villa of the Antonines Archaeological Excavation. As the excavation continues to grow in research and objective while navigating a changing legal landscape, the archaeological team explores pathways to further engage the community. This study uses evaluative data about awareness and attitudes surrounding ancient cultural heritage to build a snapshot of how the values, behaviors, and circumstances held within the community may shape the perceptions of the archaeological excavation, and of ancient cultural heritage overall.
