Hidden Heritage

UKRYTE DZIEDZICTWO is a nationwide archaeological campaign addressing the topic of Polish national heritage hidden in the ground and the work of archaeologists, as well as promoting these activities in society.

In the school system, archaeology is only mentioned in the context of the earliest history of man. There is a lack of issues promoting the achievements of Polish archaeology and its contribution to local and national heritage and the development of modern patriotism. 

The marginalization of the subject, combined with a false image of the archaeologist perpetuated through adventure films and unreliable press coverage of excavations, has meant that even adults often think of dinosaurs, pyramids and Indiana Jones when they think of archaeology.
