The Tradition of Cultural Heritage Research in North Macedonia
Abstract
This paper explores the intersection of immovable cultural heritage, digital technologies, and education in the Republic of North Macedonia. The country�s rich historical and archaeological legacy, shaped by diverse civilizations such as the Greeks, Romans, Byzantines, and Ottomans, is reflected in its numerous cultural monuments, archaeological sites, and museum collections. With over 4,700 documented archaeological sites, Macedonia�s cultural heritage is essential to its national identity and historical continuity. Archaeology plays a crucial role in reconstructing the past through the fragmented remains of material culture, offering insights into human beliefs, aspirations, and daily life. The cultural heritage of North Macedonia has long been a subject of scholarly interest, with research spanning from early travelogues and European explorers in the 19th century to modern systematic excavations. This paper traces the development of archaeological research in North Macedonia, highlighting key figures, discoveries, and institutions that have contributed to the study and preservation of its rich heritage. The study also explores the impact of historical events, including the Ottoman period, the World Wars, and the post-independence era, on cultural heritage research and conservation efforts. Furthermore, it examines the role of modern methodologies, including digital archaeology, in safeguarding and interpreting archaeological sites. By synthesizing historical scholarship and contemporary advancements, this research underscores the significance of North Macedonia�s archaeological heritage and its continued study in a global context. This research underscores the significance of integrating digital tools into heritage management and education to protect and promote Macedonia�s cultural assets for future generations
