THE APPEAR METHOD
A practical guide for the management of enhancement projects on urban archaeological sites

The APPEAR guide will help all those involved in projects for enhancing urban archaeological sites. It is based on the principles of strategic management adapted by a number of researchers from different disciplines and integrates all the factors and issues likely to occur during what can often be a complex process. It offers a structured mechanism for users to establish the goals to be reached within their areas of expertise and to conceive and execute appropriate actions to reach these with realism, flexibility and creativity.

The APPEAR guide has been designed so that it can easily be printed in A4 format, in French or in English.
