Abstract

The 20th conference of the European Archaeological Council (EAC) was held in Ireland in February 2019. The meeting took place in Dublin Castle and focused on the proper management of monuments and archae- ological sites as well as the possibilities of presenting them to the wider public.1 For years, discussions on monument protection in the EAC symposiums have focused on the problems posed by the relationship of archaeology to investments. Cultural tourism is a critical issue, in which the interests and needs of these two fields meet—or clash. In Hungary, this is most conspicuous in connection with the so-called heritage developments undertaken within the framework of the National Program for Castles and Fortresses, coor- dinated by the National Heritage Protection and Development Ltd (in Hungarian: Nemzeti Örökségvédelmi és Fejlesztési Nkft, NÖF). Two sites, Sárospatak and Szabadkígyós, are presented in this paper as examples of archaeological research projects undertaken in preparation for the further development of an area.
