The Work of Making Malta: the Council of Europe's Archaeology and Planning Committee 1988—1996

Leiden University, The Netherlands, w.j.h.willems{at}arch.leidenuniv.nl

This article began life as a paper in the session `Opening Doors for Archaeologists: Making Malta Work' at the 2006 EAA Annual Meeting in Kracow, Poland. It explores the background of the European Convention on the Protection of the Archaeological Heritage (Revised), also known as the Valletta Convention or the Convention of Malta. The article examines some of the major issues that were discussed and describes the drafting process of the Convention from the author's personal perspective as one of the members of the committee responsible. It concludes with a brief consideration of some subsequent developments and a plea for a more active role for the EAA at Strasbourg and Brussels.

Key Words: archaeological heritage management • Convention of Malta • Council of Europe • heritage protection • Valletta Convention
