Non-participant public observation of archaeological heritage. A study of four Mediterranean sites
Abstract
Visitor studies in open archaeological sites are becoming a fundamental tool for their management. This paper states the usefulness of nonparticipant timing and tracking of visitors. This methodology is applied in four case studies of the Mediterranean context, where more than 200 visitors to archaeological sites from Malta, Sicily, Ibiza and Menorca are sampled. The results not only give information about the public’s behaviour, but also about relational and physical aspects of the sites which impact their management.
