The case concerns the development of a sports museum by Tennis Australia, the governing body of the sport in that country, to house its collection of materials and exhibits from the sport's history. Suggestions are made to teachers using the case study in their classes as to how it should be presented to their students and possible spin-off activities generated by the use of the study.

The Middle Eastern Geodatabase for Antiquities (MEGA): An Open Source GIS-Based Heritage Site Inventor y and Management System

The increasing development of open source software tools further provides that such systems may be purpose-built, adaptable, and extensible to the needs of specific situations, and that once developed they can be available to heritage authorities, which are often poorly funded, without associated licensing or upgrade fees.

Working collaboratively with the Jordanian Department of Antiquities (DoA), the Getty Conservation Institute (GCI) and World Monuments Fund (WMF) have developed MEGA-Jordan as a tool to inventory, monitor, and help conserve and manage the thousands of archaeological sites in Jordan. MEGA-Jordan allows DoA officials to address needs such as infrastructure and development control and the development of national and regional research strategies. MEGA-Jordan is Web based, bilingual (Arabic-English), and was developed using state-of-the-art and open source information technologies. It was designed to be modular and easily extensible, allowing it to evolve with the DoA's changing institutional requirements and to be adapted by other countries. The MEGA-Jordan system is available online at www.megajordan.org. Work on an Iraq version of MEGA is slated to begin after the Jordanian system is fully deployed, and will include the system's expansion to contain data for the protection of historic buildings. The GCI and WMF plan to subsequently make the system available for adaptation by other countries.

This paper explores these issues, drawing on examples from Scotland to identify the challenges of understanding particular landscapes and highlighting the importance of broadbrush characterisation in providing a framework for matching survey methodology to local contexts.

I mosaici Emoniesi nel Museo Civico di Lubiana / Emonski mozaiki v Mestnem muzeju Ljubljana

Accordingly, both the condition of the mosaics belonging to both groups and the related safekeeping and maintaining procedures differ considerably. The article brings an overview of both groups of mosaics, highlighting the issues of their safekeeping, maintenance and public presentation.

Landscape Archaeology: Science, heritage and sustainability

by Guillermo S. Reher

Co-authored with Almudena Orejas, published in Territorial Heritage and Development (José M. Feria ed.). CRC Press, London: 35-53 (ISBN 978-0-415-62145-8)

As a tool to understanding the past, Archaeology enables the landscape to benefit from the rich heritage it includes. In this paper we outline what this concept truly means, including the diversity of origins and the multiple ramifications it has for society and territorial planning as a whole. Afterwards, an example of applied scientific activity in a particular type of landscape: Roman gold mining areas has resulted in one of the most richly studied and best preserved cultural landscapes in Europe. The pro-active attitude on behalf of research which has been applied in some examples from the Hispanic Northwest is a model which can be applied to many other depressed regions of the continent, where mining activity has left behind only poverty and abandonment.

Heritage in Greece. The national narrative told by the Greek World Heritage List

Master Thesis

Although it is a highly political matter, the outcome of this process is supposed to be a reflection of the history of all the Greeks. The way in which this is chosen and what is in the first place called heritage; what is preserved and what is listed (but also what is erased and denied for listing) is therefore a very important issue. Especially in Greece, which is seen as the foundation of European civilization, this selection is crucial, for it determines what the past, present and future of the Greeks looks like. Since not all history can be turned into heritage, decisions that have been made throughout the years about what histories to preserve and what histories –and therefore memories– to erase and how and by who these decisions and selections have been made will shed light upon the way Greece has been portraying and perceiving itself as a nation.

In addition MellaniuM has successfully developed an application for utilizing all the archaeological virtual assets developed in 3D Studio Max over the past several years. It is possible therefore to create interactive environments of archaeological significance which can be accessed through the Internet and available to up to 40 participants. This paper will be accompanied by a live demonstration of networked PC's to illustrate the collaborative educational potential of this application

Annist, A. 2009. Outsourcing Culture: Establishing Heritage Hegemony by Funding Cultural Life in South Eastern Estonia

Based on long-term ethnographic fieldwork, I describe how in Estonia, where highly formalised cultural sphere was a norm already in the 19th century, Soviet cultural hegemony was never properly established. The Soviet system of blanket-funding unintentionally enabled the perseverance of nationalist cultural counter-hegemony. In contrast, the current system of project based funding is more effective in creating cultural hegemony. I provide ethnographic examples of how such new practices of governmentality are outsourcing the establishment of emblematic
hegemony of a small cultural group, Setos.

It focuses on the many-sided causes of destruction and neglect of these important archaeological sites in an attempt at raising key conservation issues. Such issues are particularly related to how to deal with modern development, such as urban growth and quarrying, which are expected to remain the largest threat for the ancient quarries also in the future.

This study documents the various heritage lists, registers and classification suystems, identifies electronic databases, analyses the cataloguing and categoriesing systems in use and shows how they could be integrated. It proposes using the English IRIS system as a starting point for systematic listing of industiral heritage and industrial archaeology in Victoria (and elsewhere)

ETHNOMUSICKING: A VALUED MUSIC OCCUPATION OR AUDACIOUS ANTICS IN THE PURGA MUSIC MUSEUM

There is no suitable terminology to describe this active cultural engagement, so I propose the term ‘ethnomusicking.’ In this paper I will outline my concept of ethnomusicking and discuss examples from participatory action research. The aim is to critically analyse the social significance of ethnomusicking and the role of the music museum curator in facilitating community-based education – particularly the design of programs for reconciliation and healing.
