Medialization and its impact on the archaeological sites of the Karlovy Vary Region
- NPÚ, ÚOP v Lokti
This article presents practical experience in the execution of archaeological heritage care in the Karlovy Vary Region. As the smallest archaeological territory of all the regions of the Czech Republic, there is greater pressure on involving those interested in the field from the public sphere. This also requires greater mutual trust concerning sharing information in both directions. Using examples that illustrate different approaches to public disclosure and working with the public, it is clear that both parties can benefit from such cooperation. The text also outlines the possible scope and intensity of amateur detecting using the example of a single "seeker". Even though amateur activities can not compare to professionals at the level of complexity of knowledge, it is clear from the data that the field activity of "seekers" has already exceeded, in their wide range, all the possibilities of the professional archeological community. The freely available tools of distribution and mutual information sharing among amateurs are also worth mention, since they already allow for the "circumvention" of official sources of information.
