Heritage is...a lost city.

In this week's episode we explore the phenomena of the Lost City. What is it about the grand claim on the impossible archaeological settlements which captures the imagination. How are heritage interpretations impacted by and manipulated because of the lost city stories? Should heritage professionals embrace the exciting potential of the lost city story, or hold back from an ethnical minefield of exaggerated interpretations? 

In the news this week, we look at the important role of Operation Heritage Cymru and how a combined police partnership with heritage organizations in Wales, is helping to safeguard the historic landscape. 

You can reach me to talk about these themes, and more, at either Kasuutta or Heritage_Is, and please let me know what you would like considered for episode 3.
