Description
ANTEQUERA DOLMENS: ARCHAEOLOGY, PROJECT AND LANDSCAPE
Book Summary
This scientific work proposes an intervention methodology for the 'in situ' musealization of archaeological sites, taking as a reference the valorization process of the Antequera Dolmens Site, declared a World Heritage Site in 2016. The author analyzes how the concept of heritage has been transformed over two centuries and how the architectural project is consolidated as a key operational tool for new management strategies. It includes an exhaustive glossary and an extensive specialized bibliography, being the first doctoral thesis dedicated to this megalithic complex.
What is it about?
The book addresses the relationship between archaeology, architectural project, and landscape in the context of the Antequera Dolmens. The research is developed from the field of archaeology and museums towards the culture of the project, recognizing how the concept of heritage has evolved, how museums have expanded their boundaries, and how the project remains a crucial methodological tool. A detailed study of the site's valorization process is presented, from its discovery to its declaration as a World Heritage Site, offering a model applicable to other archaeological sites.
