This volume explores the concept of "sacred" and what it means to people in differing cultures. Archaeologists, legislators and those involved in heritage management sometimes come into conflict with local populations over sites which these communities consider to be sacred. The book attempts to describe the belief systems surrounding such sites and in relating these beliefs and practices to the practical problems of heritage management. It demonstrates the need to accomodate those beliefs which are a vital part of ongoing cultural identity. The geographical coverage of this collection is wide and includes a range of contributors, including indigenous peoples, archaeologists, anthropologists and heritage professionals.
