The aim is to demonstrate: a) the close interdependence between archaeology’s relevance and applicability; b) the dynamic character of the relation between archaeology, material remains and stakeholders; and c) the potential of archaeology to reinforce not only historical consciousness but also historical sensibility and the need for more attentive existence among things.
