SamenvattingKnowledge for informed choices
Archaeological heritage management benefits from well-informed and transparent decision-making. With the aim of providing ‘knowledge for informed choices’, a series of tools have been developed for archaeological heritage management in the Netherlands (Lauwerier et al. 2017). They include digital maps, datasets, methods, guidelines, best practice and web-based applications and relate to archaeological predictions, disturbances by agriculture and other activities, archaeological heritage maps, prospection methods, research questions, and scientific syntheses. The tools
were developed as part of the Cultural Heritage Agency’s ‘Archaeology Knowledge Kit’ programme, in response to an evaluation of archaeology legislation, implementing the Valletta Convention (Lauwerier 2017). The programme aimed to provide knowledge to facilitate the effective, efficient and transparent selection of valuable archaeological remains in the process of archaeological heritage management. Much of this knowledge is particularly important for local authorities, as it enables them to take archaeological interests more fully into account in spatial planning and development.
It fits in theme 2 ‘Dare to choose’ of the EAC’s Amersfoort Agenda, in particular the items about being conscious, explicit and transparent about choices, and about the development of a sound infrastructure to support the making of informed choices (EAC 2015). A more extensive impression of the products developed is given in Lauwerier et al. 2018, a full report on the backgrounds, aims, methods, results and products in Lauwerier et al. 2017. Most products are available online through the portal www.archeologieinnederland.nl.
