Between the duty to protect and what is reasonable – How sustainable is the polluter pays principle?

9:10 AM - 9:40 AM Sat, 07 Nov
CCL, Seminar Room 6/7, Level +2

Short description

The lecture shows how the polluter-pays principle and legal regulatory instruments enable a sustainable and proportionate balance between heritage protection, property interests, scientific research and societal acceptance.

Description

The lecture examines the polluter-pays principle as a key issue of sustainability in archaeology, situated within the tension between the duty to protect archaeological heritage and the requirement of reasonableness. Taking the requirement for prior authorisation and the statutory presumption as its starting points, it demonstrates how legal regulatory instruments serve both to limit and to legitimise archaeological interventions. In this context, sustainability is understood not as the maximisation of excavation activity, but as a balanced and proportionate consideration of the burden placed on property owners, the scientific interest in gaining knowledge, and societal acceptance.

Conference
Sustainability in Archaeology

Responsibility for data, finds and knowledge

Archaeological work is irreversible. Sustainability therefore means, above all, ensuring the long-term preservation, usability and visibility of finds, data and research findings. In view of the ever-increasing volume of finds and data, key questions arise regarding the assessment, prioritisation, analysis and public communication of archaeological findings. The annual conference provides a forum for professional exchange between heritage conservation, research, excavation practice, museums, data infrastructures and the general public.
