"Sacred Sites, Sacred Places" explores the concept of "sacred" and what it means to people in different cultures. The book looks at why people regard some parts of the land as special and why this ascription remains constant in some cultures and changes in others. It aims to help archaeologists, legislators and those involved in heritage management avoid destructive practices in their conservation and excavation. The book examines the extreme importance of sacred places in all cultures and the necessity of accommodating those intimate beliefs which remain a vital part of ongoing cultural identity. It is unique in attempting to describe the belief systems surrounding the existence of sacred sites, while at the same time bringing such beliefs and practices into relationship with the practical problems of everyday heritage management. The book has a wide geographical coverage and includes contributions from indigenous peoples, archaeologists and heritage professionals.
