Public Opinion on Archaeological Assets of Turkey
What comes to your mind when you hear the word "archaeology"? Who owns the objects that come out of archaeological excavations? What would you do if you found a pot full of coins? This talk will present the results of a recently conducted nation-wide survey on the public perception of archaeology in Turkey.
Undertaken as part of the BIAA’s new heritage project “Safeguarding Archaeological Assets of Turkey (SARAT)”, the survey, a first in Turkey, attempts to establish a link between professionals working on cultural heritage, and the general public.
“We asked 3.601 people” will be an interactive talk offering innovative ways to open the floor to discussion with direct input from the audience.
