Archaeological excavation
Ancona. An agreement was signed between builders and the Archaeological Superintendency for the antiquities underground.
it looks to be a landmark agreement. Superintendence and manufacturers together and not enemies, ready to establish rules of collaboration together. To put an end once and for all, the nightmare (the manufacturer) of "Mr. No" archaeologist who stops work and requires the excavation, and (the archaeologist) to the risk of irreparable damage to our goods still in hiding. It 'happened on April 7 in the Marche, Ancona. The Superintendent of Cultural Heritage Giuliano De Marinis, and the chairman of the Regional Construction Alfredo Mancinelli, are committed together to promote a bill that provides tax breaks and streamlined procedures for the manufacturer who has to bear the cost of the excavation. A small but concrete step. In a sea of \u200b\u200banarchy, a true Wild West.
Because you know, dig in our country who always finds a treasure, not only in urban but a bit 'all over the "historic landscape" Italic. Especially since (several years) the modern archeology has learned to detect even the most fleeting traces of our past. He even coined the terms ad hoc "Emergency excavation" if the discovery is done randomly during an archaeological excavation of the subsoil for construction purposes, "excavation estimate" if you perform archaeological surveys prior to construction. This would actually the more correct procedure, which allows you to program operations and avoiding dangerous blocks in construction work already underway. And, in truth, the Municipal Code provides, but only for public works.
For the rest of the Italian law is still stuck in 1939: the archaeological discoveries are made only for excavation or research programs random, tertium non datur.
Thus, in many small construction projects in Italy, everyone gets by as he can. Often superintendents use the weapon to enforce the lien prior excavations. And even when the construction work began without archaeological investigation, now known manufacturers have to provide one of the "risks" the expense of any archaeological excavation resulting in the expansion of work time and sometimes even block final.
But not everyone knows or can afford those costs lightly, and it is not difficult to imagine that manufacturers often are silent in order not to generate findings to their work smoothly. And who does this work? Companies now are full of archeology, given the huge demand, but the archeology as a profession is not recognized or regulated in any where.
The bill array Marche wants, above all, make good the financial problems of building and construction the instrument of tax relief. Certainly a measure of fairness.
Constitution stipulates that the excavations can be made also by the building itself, if it uses specialized (and still under the supervision of the essential scientific direction). To expedite matters, but at the same time making clear the urgency of a framework for the profession as an archaeologist.
therefore raises a few pegs, but unclear. At first sight, even too few, as the superintendent says archaeologist for the Emilia Romagna Luigi Malnati, please do not lose sight of the real target of the investigation prior to any obligation. "However is an important step with good prospects of success because he was conceived in the mutual interest, "says De Marinis. Anyway, the two parties undertook to promote reflection and debate on the proposal anywhere in the boot. Anyone who cares about the cultural heritage of the peninsula is to provide an opinion.
