Welcome to the 5th episode of Digging Digital, the official podcast of the ARCHAEODIGIT project. In this episode, we open a brand-new chapter focusing on the planning and modern management of archaeological parks. Our host, Anna, welcomes Roberta, Professor at the University of Macerata, to debunk the myth that an archaeological site is just a static entity to be protected under a glass bell. In this episode, we explore: - Why an archaeological park is much more than an "open-air museum" and how it must live, breathe, and interact with its surrounding landscape. - The innovative approach introduced by the European Landscape Convention (2000) and the absolute necessity of a multidisciplinary research team (archaeologists, architects, botanists, geologists). - How to actively involve local communities, businesses, and institutions (stakeholders) from the very beginning to create a socio-economic driving force for the territory. - The crucial balance between opening the park to the public and protecting the heritage, ensuring the site thrives without turning into a "Disneyland." PROJECT INFO & COMPLIANCE ARCHAEODIGIT is a project co-funded by the European Union through the Interreg Italy-Croatia Programme. It aims to enhance archaeological heritage through digital innovation, capacity building, and new management strategies.
