2025 Annual Stavros Niarchos Foundation Lecture
This lecture explores the dynamic field of public archaeology in contemporary Greece. Using the ancient Cretan city of Eleutherna as a case study, it illustrates how public archaeology integrates scientific research, cultural heritage management, digital technologies, public engagement, tourism, and economic considerations. The lecture highlights how these elements enhance the dissemination and accessibility of archaeological knowledge.
