Abstract
The fi rst part of the paper refers to a number of changes that have affected archaeology over recent decades: the extension of chronological limits to contemporary thresholds, the fall of the traditional approach that conceived archaeology as a discipline basically dedicated to working below ground and the extension of the scope of study from material items and the archaeological site to the territory. In the second part, an attempt is made to redefi ne the profi le of archaeology today based on a fundamentally ontological and axiologic refl ection, without overlooking, however, certain considerations of an espistemologic nature. To fi nish, the �value chain� is presented as the best possible methodological tool to treat Heritage from an overall and interdisciplinary perspective.
