  Value systems and the archaeological resource
 
 
Title: Value systems and the archaeological resource
Author: Darvill, Timothy
Appeared in: International journal of heritage studies
Paging: Volume 1 (1994) nr. 1 pages 52-64
Year: 1994
Contents: The paper deals with the various values held by people for the heritage, specifically the archaeological heritage. Attention is directed away from economic values towards sociological interpretations - sets of assumptions, beliefs and knowledge-sets which may be termed 'value systems'. Such value systems underpin and inform individual and collective attitudes and, by implication, approaches to the physical and experiential environment. After examining the nature of value systems and gradients, the paper identifies three main value gradients with reference to the archaeological resource. These may be characterised as: use value, based on present requirements, option value, based on future possibilities, and existence value, which acknowledges value 'because it is there'.
