Paper long abstract:

Archaeology is the written record of structure made by contemporary people through construction and architecture. Across the large part of Southeast Asia, Archaeology (Historical Archaeology, Underwater Archaeology, Salvage Archaeology, Urban Archaeology, Public archaeology) has become a major force of social, economic and cultural change. Appropriate Heritage Management for the complex and vast archaeological landscape of Southeast Asia requires new approaches for solving different issues including development of unexplored sites. This is particularly the case when we highlight the ways in which it transforms the lives of local residents in both economic & cultural terms. Conventional wisdom concerning the relationship between archaeological heritage preservation and management development has shifted dramatically over the last four decades. However, the challenges remain in the areas of proper planning and scientific management of the sites through well developed network for trade routes, eco-tourism, cultural and infrastructural development. With increasing pressure of Liberalization-Privatization-Globalization (LPG), application of management in archaeological heritages requires assessment to protect the interest of local residents. This paper also tries to explore what the local people want for their development.
