Abstract

ABSTRACT This paper discusses five digital archeological finds recording schemes from England and Wales, Denmark, Finland, Flanders (Belgium), and the Netherlands; countries and areas where members of the public can search for archeological material, usually by metal-detecting. These schemes are a part of the European Public Finds Recording Network. The authors argue that citizen science approaches to recording discoveries made by the public present important opportunities for enriching both research and possibilities for widening participation with archeological heritage. These schemes work within specific legal and social frameworks, and the paper scrutinizes each scheme in the context of citizen participation. The paper also discusses the challenges concerning sharing open data connected to crowdsourced archeological information, and the limitations and prospects offered by the different national and regional frameworks within which the schemes operate.

作为公民科学的金属探测。合作考古发现记录计划的背景、挑战与机遇

本文讨论了来自英格兰和威尔士、丹麦、芬兰、佛兰德斯(比利时)和荷兰的五种数字考古发现记录方案;公众可以搜索考古材料的国家和地区，通常是通过金属探测。这些计划是欧洲公共发现记录网络的一部分。作者认为，记录公众发现的公民科学方法为丰富研究和扩大参与考古遗产的可能性提供了重要机会。这些计划在特定的法律和社会框架内运作，本文在公民参与的背景下仔细审查了每个计划。本文还讨论了共享与众包考古信息相关的开放数据所面临的挑战，以及这些计划运作的不同国家和地区框架所提供的限制和前景。

期刊介绍： Heritage & Society is a global, peer-reviewed journal that provides a forum for scholarly, professional, and community reflection on the cultural, political, and economic impacts of heritage on contemporary society. We seek to examine the current social roles of collective memory, historic preservation, cultural resource management, public interpretation, cultural preservation and revitalization, sites of conscience, diasporic heritage, education, legal/legislative developments, cultural heritage ethics, and central heritage concepts such as authenticity, significance, and value. The journal provides an engaging forum about tangible and intangible heritage for those who work with international and governmental organizations, academic institutions, private heritage consulting and CRM firms, and local, associated, and indigenous communities. With a special emphasis on social science approaches and an international perspective, the journal will facilitate lively, critical discussion and dissemination of practical data among heritage professionals, planners, policymakers, and community leaders.
