This book examines a tense time in archaeological heritage management. Contemporary Pagan groups were actively contesting ancient sites and campaigning for human corporeal remains to be reburied. This book draws on ethnographic field research conducted by the author between 2008 and 2013 to analyse the contestation from both Pagan and heritage management perspectives.

The current article aims to explore the management of archaeological resources in the valleys of Tejo and Ocreza rivers, Portugal, based on research, communication, and education experiences developed at Tejo Valley Prehistoric and Sacred Art Museum, Mação County, Portugal. The article gives temporal emphasis on recent years, in the 21st century, when the museum was given this name and fully restructured. First, it addresses the strategies and theoretical guidelines adopted to run the museum. Subsequently, it describes research, post-graduate studies, communication, and other educational experiences. Finally, it performs an overall assessment and suggests future paths for the management of heritage assets, mainly in museological institutions.

AbstractThis paper investigates the rationale for excavation against the background of a new trend in archaeology: the renewed interest in the values of experience and empiricism in both archaeological practice and interpretation. It is argued that we should seriously reconsider the principles of archaeological heritage management as it has developed from the 1970s onwards. Reasons for excavating are discussed by referring to three examples: (1) the reconstruction of cultural evolution in the time period roughly between 40,000 and 30,000 B.P., when anatomically modern humans entered Europe but Neanderthals were still there; (2) recent excavations in 20th-century terrorscapes; and (3) public activities, like geocaching, that evoke a kind of ‘archaeological experience’. It is concluded that the time is ripe for a broad empirical and experiential attitude, based on new intellectual orientations like the new empiricism, to return to the archaeological agenda. Excavation may fulfil a vital role in this project.

AbstractThis article discusses the diachronic development of the Spanish multifunctional formula en plan (with its variant en plan de, literally ‘in plan (of)’ but usually equivalent to English like). The article has two main aims: firstly, to describe the changes that the formula has undergone since its earliest occurrences as a marker in the nineteenth century up to the early 21st century. The diachronic study evinces a process of grammaticalization in three steps: from noun to clause adverbial and then to discourse marker. Secondly, to conduct a contrastive analysis between en plan (de) and the English markers like and kind of/kinda so as to shed new light on the potential existence of a universal pathway of grammaticalization in the emergence of discourse markers.
