The Preventive Archaeology Centre at the Institute for the Protection of Cultural Heritage of Slovenia, grounded in 2009, carries out preliminary archaeological research at the whole Slovenian area and in the case of the interventions, related to building activities.


Background

Establishing of the Preventive Archaeology Centre means the discontinuity of the current practice, when the protection of archaeological heritage was in exclusive domain of regional offices. Conservator – archaeologist performed both executive tasks and control over interventions in the archaeological heritage and carried out protection policies of archaeological heritage. From the establishment of the Centre onwards the work of the archaeologists is more coordinated, systematised and shared.

Programme / Mission

The Preventive Archaeology Centre manages and carries out the preliminary archaeological research, ensures methodological and infrastructural development in the area of archaeological research and post-excavation procedures, carries out research projects commissioned by the Ministry of Culture in the area of preventive archaeology, provides internships and supplementary training, provides work experience for those engaged in courses of study in conservation and restoration, and develops public awareness of preventive archaeology.

Venues, branches

There are eight regional departments with seats in the regional offices of the Institute for the Protection of Cultural Heritage of Slovenia; in Celje, Kranj, Ljubljana, Maribor, Ptuj, Nova Gorica, Novo mesto, and Piran. Underwater Archaeology Division is to be mentioned too.

Projects

In project SAAS, carried out from 1994, archaeological excavations and research work on motorway sections are implemented. Another important project on preliminary archaeological research takes place on the area, destined for a future hydroelectric power plant on Sava river. On the contrary to project SAAS, where preliminary archaeological research was parallel to building the motorways, the Centre carries out research work in the whole Slovenian area and in all interventions. Within the public service the centre will carry out also preliminary field investigations in accordance with the plan of the Institute for the Protection of Cultural Heritage of Slovenia.

Collections

A temporary storage of archaeological finds will be at the centre. Finds, found in the preliminary archaeological research, will be handed over to a competent museum within five years of completion of fieldwork research.

Publishing / Publications

A new serial publication Monografije Centra za preventivno arheologijo (Monographies of Preventive Archaeology Centre) was created for publishing the conclusions of the research work.
