From footprints left by the earliest inhabitants of northern Europe (on Norfolk's north coast) to the buried prehistoric landscapes of the Fens (exemplified by Flag Fen), from the Neolithic flint mines of Grimes Graves to the Anglo-Saxon burial mounds of Sutton Hoo, East Anglia boasts some of the finest remains from the ancient past, of importance not only for understanding Britain, but also of global significance. And yet appreciation and presentation of these all-too-often hidden treasures remains at the local level, and is often bypassed by international visitors who may go to Stonehenge, Roman Bath or Viking York, but will mostly miss out on what the rest of the country has to offer in terms of heritage. This project will help establish a sustainable framework for presentation and research of East Anglia's heritage within a bigger international picture, including engaging communities in international cultural exchange through archaeology. It is envisaged this international positioning of East Anglian heritage can stand as a model for wider strategic thinking on presentation and management of British heritage.This project grows out of two successful exhibitions on the theme of Japanese prehistoric figurines at the British Museum, and a comparative exhibition of Japanese and European figurines at the Sainsbury Centre for Visual Arts, University of East Anglia (2009-2010). These exhibitions attracted great public interest both in the UK and Japan. During the 2010 exhibition, an artefact from Grimes Graves was exhibited for the first time in the county where it was discovered in 1939. The extraordinary story of this Grimes Graves 'chalk goddess' inspired a series of further academic, youth and civic exchanges between Japan and the UK, demonstrating how powerful archaeology can be in revitalising local communities and for knowledge transfer and public engagement with new audiences internationally. This series of exchanges provides the inspiration and foundation for the current project.At a time of increasing challenges to local and national heritage authorities (including council heritage services and bodies such as English Heritage), this project will help develop capacity within communities to realise further potentials of heritage resources within their locality by clearly demonstrating the 'international significance' of these resources, and the potential benefits in developing international interest. This requires a reassessment of the linkages between archaeology amenity groups (including local societies and Heritage Lottery Fund community projects) with those charged with protecting the archaeological resource, academics, other heritage stakeholders (e.g. tourist boards), and development organisations (Local Enterprise Partnerships). Central elements of the project's work providing exposure to the potentials of international approaches to heritage will be exhibitions and public workshops, and digital media.The east of England has an exemplary record in researching, managing, conserving and developing the historic environment, including pioneering regional archaeological assessments, which informed future strategies for researching and managing what is recognised as a vulnerable and finite resource. In bringing a new 'international' dimension to approaches to heritage in the east of England this project aims to contribute to this exemplary evolving record. Using existing infrastructure (e.g. Festival of British Archaeology, Heritage Open Days), the project will foster new knowledge exchange between stakeholders, develop new means of interactive public engagement with archaeology, engaging new communities and audiences. It will provide access to examples of best practice in this area, hitherto limited to the anecdotal. The long-term aim of the project is to demonstrate how such an 'international' approach to East Anglia's heritage can inform policy and practice into the future, both in the UK and abroad.

从北欧最早居民（诺福克北海岸）留下的足迹到芬斯的史前景观（由国旗芬（Flag Fen）示例），从格莱姆斯坟墓的新石像矿山到萨特顿·霍姆（Sutton Hoo）的新城市壁画，东英吉利（East Anglia）拥有古老的一些最好的遗骸，不仅对了解英国，而且具有全球意义的重要性。然而，对这些过多的隐藏珍宝的赞赏和表达仍然存在于地方一级，并且经常被国际游客绕开，国际游客可能会去巨石阵，罗马浴室或维京约克，但大多会错过其余的东西国家必须就遗产提供。该项目将有助于建立一个可持续的框架，以在更大的国际景象中展示和研究东安格利亚的遗产，包括通过考古学使社区参与国际文化交流。它可以预见，东英吉利遗产的这种国际地位可以成为英国遗产陈述和管理更广泛战略思考的典范。该项目是在大英博物馆的日本史前象征主题的两个成功的展览中成长的，还有一个比较东英吉利大学塞恩斯伯里视觉艺术中心（2009-2010）在塞恩斯伯里视觉艺术中心展览。这些展览在英国和日本引起了极大的公共兴趣。在2010年的展览期间，Grimes Graves的人工制品是在1939年发现的县首次展出的。这个Grimes Grimes“粉笔女神”的非凡故事启发了一系列进一步的学术，青年和日本之间的公民交流。英国，展示了考古学在振兴当地社区以及知识转移和公众与新受众在国际上的参与程度的强大强大。这一系列交流为当前项目提供了灵感和基础。通过清楚地证明这些资源的“国际意义”以及发展国际利益的潜在利益，其遗产资源的潜力。这需要重新评估考古设施群体（包括当地社会和遗产彩票基金会项目）之间的联系，并负责保护考古资源，学者，其他遗产利益相关者（例如旅游委员会）和发展组织（当地企业合作伙伴关系） 。该项目工作的中心要素为国际遗产方法的潜力提供了展览和公共研讨会和数字媒体。考古评估为研究和管理被认为是脆弱且有限的资源的未来策略。在将新的“国际”维度带到英格兰东部的遗产方面，该项目旨在为这一模范发展记录做出贡献。该项目利用现有的基础设施（例如英国考古节，遗产开放日），将促进利益相关者之间的新知识交流，开发与考古学，吸引新社区和受众的互动公共交互方式。它将提供该领域最佳实践的示例，迄今仅限于轶事。该项目的长期目的是证明这种“国际”对东安格利亚遗产的方法如何在英国和国外为未来提供政策和实践。
