Archaeological Responses to 5 Decades of Metal Detecting in Austria
View through CrossRef
AbstractSince metal detecting started in Austria in 1970, the National Heritage Agency (BDA) has focussed
too much on prohibiting metal detecting. The strategy chosen, increasingly restrictive legislation, has turned
out to be a failure. Rather than improving the protection of archaeological heritage from ‚unauthorised‘ metal
detecting, the ‚hobby‘ has grown steadily. Yet, the changes to the law have made protecting archaeology more
difficult and are restricting civil liberties, quite possibly making the law itself illegal. Five decades on, Austrian
archaeology isn‘t better off, but considerably worse, and it is mainly our attempts to prevent metal detecting
that are to blame.
