ABSTRACT

In this paper the author discusses the role of civil society in the preservation of the archaeological heritage in the Republic of Moldova. The Republic of Moldova signed the European Convention on Archaeological Heritage Preservation (revised version) in 1998, ratified it in 2001, and enforced it only since November 2002. But, the national law on archaeological preservation was voted by the Parliament in September 2010 and entered into force in March 2011. So, after a long period of debates and initiatives Republic of Moldova has its own law on this field. The leading role in this process was held by the National Association of Young Historians of Moldova. This NGO initiated in 2009 an advocacy project in the field of cultural heritage preservation. As main goal and result was the elaboration a new law on archaeological heritage preservation, based on international conventions and current trends in the field of archaeological heritage preservation.
