In questo contributo si parlerà del modello o metodo di ricerca partecipata in archeologia, delineandone le caratteristiche principali, le prassi e le problematiche, in rapporto ai progetti che da alcuni anni il gruppo di archeologia medievale dell’Università di Padova porta avanti in varie regioni dell’Italia. La partecipazione delle comunità locali nell’individuazione, conoscenza, tutela e valorizzazione del patrimonio è fondamentale, dal momento che i professionisti dei beni culturali non possono farsi carico di un patrimonio immenso e a rischio di dispersione, che nella maggior parte dei casi scompare prima di essere conosciuto o solo censito. Il coinvolgimento attivo delle comunità nei progetti di ricerca va considerato inoltre non solo come un buon metodo per favorire la tutela, ma anche come un’opportunità di sviluppo economico, sociale e culturale. Infine ci sono anche enormi benefici per gli studenti che partecipano a queste attività, per lo più legati all’apprendimento di conoscenze e competenze, raramente inserite negli odierni programmi accademici.
In this paper the participatory research methods or models in archaeology will be described, outlining the main characteristics, practices and problems, in relation to the projects that for several years the medieval archaeology group of the University of Padua has been carrying out in various regions of Northern Italy. The participation of local communities in the identification, knowledge, protection and management of cultural heritage is fundamental, since professionals of cultural heritage cannot protect an immense and dispersed heritage, which in most cases disappears before being registered. The active involvement of communities in heritage projects should be considered not only as a good method to promote protection, but also as an opportunity for economic, social and cultural development. Finally, there are also enormous benefits for students who participate in these activities, mostly related to the learning of knowledge and skills, rarely included in today's academic programs.
