Show moreHeritage is a dynamic concept. The significance of heritage and the values attributed to it differ from person to person. This has influence on how we deal with heritage and the decisions we make in heritage preservation. In the heritage sector, values assessments have gained attention in academic research on international level. However, a better understanding of the values attributed to archaeological heritage by different groups of stakeholders is needed to better respond to the various perspectives on heritage values in heritage preservation and public archaeology projects. More knowledge about stakeholders’ values and interest will also contribute to effective stakeholder engagement practices. This study contributes to this by means of a values assessment and stakeholder analysis of two case study projects, Archaeological Park Matilo in Leiden and Castellum Hoge Woerd in Utrecht.
