The appropriate management of archaeological heritage in particular, and cultural heritage in general,
requires that we have a deep and shared understanding of what it is and what it is composed of.
Without clear answers to these questions, efforts to act on and preserve cultural heritage run the risk to
be misguided. This need has been acknowledged by charters and directives; however, there is no clear
shared understanding of the underlying concepts and very few analytic efforts have been made to clarify
them. Older approaches used to emphasise the intrinsic properties of something to decide whether or
not it was part of cultural heritage; nowadays, the trend is to look at how communities of people assign
value to things. This paper presents a conceptual model of cultural, including archaeological, heritage
that addresses two major concerns: what cultural heritage is (its definition) and why something becomes
cultural heritage (its motivation).
This work has been partially funded within Project MIRFOL (research grant number 09SEC002606PR of the INCITE Programme) by the Xunta de Galicia, Spain.
