Abstract
The economic and technological developments of the last decades have promoted new perceptions of the importance and role of culture in an ever-changing society. A key sector, the “backbone” of culture, is archaeology. Over almost a decade, actions and programs implemented by the Ministry of Culture, aim to promote open access to archaeological information.Is, though, the archaeological material, digitized or not, truly accessible to the public or even to the field researchers? This paper will explain the traits and meaning of the archaeological material, as well as the existing legal situation in Greece on access to that material, and the regulation in countries with different cultural and institutional background. Actions in recent years in Greece on the management of archaeological data will be described. The paper will also include proposals in order to disengage the existing rigidities of the system.KeywordsOpen accessArchaeological dataFreedom of informationDigitized archaeological databases
