Making new places with archaeology and heritage

Whether it's an entirely new development or somewhere being reimagined, 'new' places give us incredible opportunities to bring archaeology and heritage into people's lives. This can be done explicitly, through display or access to archaeological remains, or implicitly, through design and other subtle ways of bringing archaeological understanding into development. The first part of this talk will outline three different roles for archaeology and heritage in place-making and explain practically how to make those kinds of engagement happen. The second part of the paper will present a series of case studies from heritage, art and architecture which will, I hope, demonstrate clearly the potential for us to not just contribute to place-making, but to use the opportunity of engagement with new places to push the boundaries of what archaeology and heritage can be.
