Beschreibung
This volume provides case studies about successful strategies employed in diverse world areas for the protection of archaeological heritage resources. Some chapters focus on a search for solutions arrived at by diverse groups of people working in specific areas rather than simply describing loss of cultural heritage. Other chapters provide a long-term view of intensified efforts at protection of archaeological resources. The authors describe challenges and solutions derived by concerned people in eastern Asia (China, Japan, Thailand), West Africa, Easter Island, Jordan, Honduras and more than one area of Peru. All of the authors draw upon deep, personal involvement with the protection of cultural heritage in each area. This volume is a timely addition to a growing number of conferences and publications about the management of cultural heritage—both archaeological and historical.
Provides information about successful strategies employed in diverse world areas for the protection of archaeological heritage resources Includes informative accounts of useful methods to protect sites and ancient remains in different cultural contexts Highlights efforts at cultural heritage protection in areas of the world rarely discussed in English language publications Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
