Publisher's Synopsis
As head of the Dutch Archaeological Service, Willem Willems is in touch with the movement towards greater archaeological co-operation in Europe. As political borders lose their importance, archaeology is forced into the forefront of the quest for a new cultural identity to reflect both European unity and heterogeneity. With extensive reference to legislation and community programmes, Dr Willems sets out his controversial vision of pan-European coordinating body for archaeological research and heritage management in the 21st century.
