The Conservation of Subterranean Cultural HeritageAuthor(s): C. Saiz-Jimenez\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: Taylor & Francis Ltd, United Kingdom\nImprint: CRC Press\nISBN-13: 9781138026940, 978-1138026940\nSynopsis\nIn recent years, a debate has arisen concerning the convenience of conserving subterranean cultural heritage and the necessary management models. There is often pressure from local authorities more interested in using the cultural heritage sites in order to develop the economy and the tourism industry rather than in the conservation of the cultural heritage itself. This has caused the managing bodies to reconsider reopening of sites closed due to serious conservation problems.\n\nThis proceedings volume contains selected papers presented at the International Workshop \""The Conservation of Subterranean Cultural Heritage\"", held 25-27 March 2014, in Seville, Spain. The workshop was organized by the Spanish Network of Science and Technology for the Conservation of Cultura.
