Description:

The long-time conceptual collaboration between the Institute of Archaeology of the Czech Academy of Sciences, Brno and the South Moravia Region began in 2019. Under the title “Joint Forces in Order to Discover the Common Archaeological Heritage of the South Moravian Region”, its goal was to gradually create conditions for the establishment of “citizen science” in the sphere of metal detecting in the region. The main initiators and bearers of the project support (which was granted in 2019 and 2020 under the Programme of Regional Cooperation of Regions and Institutes of the Czech Academy of Sciences) are the Institute of Archaeology of the Czech Academy of Sciences in Brno, as the expert and methodology guarantor, and the South Moravian Region, as the owner of archaeological finds defined by law, the founding entity of seven collection-forming institutions and, within a transferred competence, the monument care authority. The programme responds to the current social development and the region’s needs in the sphere of the rescue of common archaeological heritage. The enormous boom in the use of metal detectors by the public and the ever-increasing interest in the process of learning about our past have encountered obstacles in the form of a lack of information and non-uniform and incomprehensible conditions. This was (and is) the reason for frequent inadvertent but enormous losses in archaeological finds and damage to our common cultural riches. The experience and scientific knowledge of our partners show that a partial solution to this unfavourable situation can be found in a positive approach to people who are interested in unselfish participation in discovering material sources of our past, in motivating the public to be interested in the condition of archaeological sources and their involvement in the rescue process. and Using numerous tools such as expert workshops for the employees of professional institutions, information meetings with interested members of the public, schooling of local authorities and the Police, distribution of printed and digital information materials, etc., the partners in the programme have long endeavoured to improve the knowledge of all public components and public administration. It is not only for the archaeological and museum institutions founded by the region that they provide methodological preparation for the creation of basic tools through which they can communicate with the interested public and motivate and organise them so that their activities are generally beneficial in getting to know the past and enriching our common cultural heritage. Both partners perceive the protection and rescue of archaeological cultural heritage and the creation of conditions for citizen participation in this activity within the framework of so-called citizen science as one of the priority objectives of modern archaeological science and municipal politics.
