ArchaeoConcept is an independent company based in Biel, Switzerland that finds solutions to problems encountered by archaeologists and heritage managers which cannot be answered from within existing structures. Through its integrative projects, ArchaeoConcept participates in the development of material and immaterial heritage management in developing countries. In this interview, Ancient History Encyclopedia (AHE) asks Dr. Cynthia Dunning Thierstein, director of ArchaeoConcept about the challenges and promises of proper cultural heritage management in an age of mass tourism.
