Abstract
Tim Williams' essay ‘Archaeology: Reading the City through Time’ discusses the role archaeology plays in today's urban areas, in the planning process and in the construction of civic identity and sense of place. As much as archaeological remains are fundamental to the understanding of an urban complex, they constitute a presence that needs to be managed and made compatible with modern needs. This interface is multidimensional, and it involves scientific and policy choices that affect the way in which the layers of time can be preserved and exposed. It also needs technical capabilities to make compatible infrastructure development and preservation, as well as it requires a comprehensive integration of the rationale of archaeology in the processes of civic participation and planning.
