Archaeology, Local Development and Tourism—a Role for International Institutes

Abstract

The growing influence of Public Archaeology from within the discipline and the agendas of government, international organizations and funders from outside it mean there are increasing expectations that archaeologists will mobilize archaeological resources and knowledge to directly benefit present and future generations. As a result, archaeologists are encouraged to contribute to development agendas and are becoming increasingly involved in projects featuring local economic benefits and tourism. Such projects usually require skills and perspectives which go outside archaeologists’ traditional education, and are often challenging undertakings. International institutes, including the Council for British Research in the Levant (CBRL) in Jordan, are well placed to respond to these challenging requirements in their role as facilitators of research and researchers. International institutes are fundamental in helping archaeologists to realize the potential of their work to support these agendas while maintaining their academic identity.
