What do we value about the past? In formulating policies about heritage preservation, that is the inevitable question, and deals not only with economic value but also the intangible value to individuals, communities and society as a whole. This interdisciplinary group of scholars—anthropologists, archaeologists, architects, educators, lawyers, heritage administrators, policy analysts, and consultants—make the first attempt to define and assess heritage values on a local, national and global level. Chapters range from the theoretical to policy frameworks to case studies of heritage practice, written by scholars from eight countries.

"The discussion of heritage values in this book speaks to the socially responsible development of a global world. Accordingly, I commend this volume to students, teachers, practitioners and members of the public. This book will assist professionals ranging from lawyers and anthropologists to cultural heritage managers and archaeologists as they grapple with the diverse ways that people value their heritage." -From the Foreword by Claire Smith, President, World Archaeological Congress
