★Invited Papers
Keywords:Human history, Archaeological sites, Archaeology, Geopark activities, Mutual cooperation
This paper discusses the relation between archaeological and geopark activities, focusing on the practices and challenges in the Japanese Geoparks.
Mutual cooperation in the implementation of these activities can lead to the following synergistic effects: archaeological activities can contribute to geopark activities through the scientific evaluation of the correlation between human activity and activity of the Earth; geoparks can refer to archaeological methods and experiences of protection, conservation and utilization of cultural properties when protecting, conserving and utilizing geological heritage (i.e. geological sites); and collaboration between archaeology and geoparks can provide an opportunity to study archaeological sites to gain not only information on human history but also geoscientific knowledge and information on the history of interrelation between humans and activities of the earth.
