Abstract
The concluding chapter clearly summarizes the main ideas concerning the management of the archaeological heritage in the Canary Islands, taking into consideration the role of colonialism and the international context.It also analyzes how the management model needs to be significantly reformulated in order to introduce new heritage policies that are directed towards valuing the Amazigh legacy which predates the conquest of the Canarian Archipelago in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries.
