The heritage chain: Assessing the Economic Organization of the Sector

In this section the authors focus on the notion of the Heritage Chain and its possible uses through two case studies: the Horse and Chariot discovery in Luoyang, China, and the heritage system in Turkey. The Heritage Chain is to some extent another example of framework that emerged in our field research about the management of heritage in various countries. The concept refers to the set of activities taking place in the heritage sector, from protection to public access, and is derived from the notion of supply chain that was developed in the field of Industrial Organization few decades ago.
