Archaeological heritage management

The management of our heritage and archaeological legacy is a growing sustainability issue. Currently, New Zealand has a need for qualified archaeologists to work in the heritage sector. This new programme responds to both an industry demand, and a desire by students and workers in the area for a high-level qualification.

 

The MArchP focuses on the unique landscapes, cultures and policies of New Zealand and the Pacific Islands. It addresses the following areas:

• The management of New Zealand and Pacific cultural heritage places
• Working with Ma?ori and Pasifika communities
• The application of archaeological approaches and methods within a heritage context
• Understanding the diverse relationships between people, places and the past
