Conservation. Protection Note de contenu : Table of Contents Stonehenge in England, with throngs of visitors in 1976. In 2000, the World Heritage Site Management Plan for Stonehenge was completed. The process of drawing up the plan was guided by the Stonehenge World Heritage Site Management Plan Group, composed of over 50 people and organizations with an interest in the site. In order to "return the monument to its natural landscape setting," the government recently endorsed a plan to put a portion of a nearby highway underground and to construct a visitor center two miles from the site.

A Note From the Director Preserving What Matters: Value-Led Planning for Cultural Heritage Sites Looking after a heritage site would seem to be pretty straightforward, but in practice it is more complicated than it appears. These sites are not simply visitor attractions, there to provide a reasonable profit. What separates the management of heritage sites from other forms of property management is that its fundamental purpose should be to preserve the values ascribed to a site—be they aesthetic or historical or social. Protecting these values is what justifies a site's management in the first place. Building Consensus, Creating a Vision: A Discussion about Site Management Planning Discussion about Site Management Planning To provide some insight into current challenges in site management planning, we asked Christina Cameron, director general of National Historic Sites at Parks Canada, and Carolina Castellanos, an archaeological conservator who has worked closely with Mexico's Instituto Nacional de Antropología e Historia, as well as others, to share their perspectives with us. Heritage Management in Africa The problem with many efforts to preserve and present cultural heritage in Africa seems to emanate from a failure to understand fully the cultural significance of the heritage and its value to local communities. A strategy to develop the heritage industry in Africa should reconcile the needs of the heritage and its environment with those of the general public. The future of conservation and heritage management in most African countries will depend on how much this management is viewed as enhancing the life and development of the area. The Latin American Consortium Last October, the Latin American Consortium—a network of preventive conservation educators that serves as a framework for various cooperative initiatives—marked its fourth anniversary. With this milestone, the Consortium, organized by the Getty Conservation Institute, began an important new phase in its development, as the GCI passed the management of the project over to the Graduate Studies Program in Visual Arts of the School of Fine Arts at Brazil's Federal University of Minas Gerais.

Conservation. Protection Note de contenu : Table of Contents Newsletter Cover Tourists visiting the Hellenistic and Roman archaeological site of Ephesus in western Turkey. The Ephesus theater, seen in the background, was the largest in Asia Minor. Preservation of the world's archaeological resources will ultimately depend upon greater integration of conservation into the practice of archaeology. Photo: Guillermo Aldana. A Responsibility for the Past: Integrating Conservation and Archaeology The stereotype of the archaeological conservator is someone who mends pots, stabilizes waterlogged artifacts, or achieves miracles of restoration. In fact, conservation encompasses more than just the care of objects. Conservation professionals include individuals with backgrounds ranging from geology and chemistry to architecture and engineering. These professionals can and should play an integral role in the preservation of archaeological sites. But for that to happen, archaeologists need a new perspective on archaeological conservation, one in which conservation is the top priority whenever fieldwork is planned. Closing the Divide: A Discussion about Archaeology and Conservation In a world where archaeological sites face a variety of threats to their survival, how much have the principles of conservation and preservation found their way into the practice of archaeology? Archaeologists Angel Cabeza, Brian Egloff, and Tim Williams and tourism expert Eugenio Yunis address this and other questions with the GCI's Neville Agnew, Martha Demas, and Jeffrey Levin. Conservation at the Core of Archaeological Strategy: The Case of Ancient Urkesh at Tell Mozan For too long conservation has been considered extrinsic to archaeology, rather than a basic part of the process. As a result, its potential for contributing from within to the articulation of archaeological methods and to the development of theoretical arguments has not been fully realized. But such an approach—integrating conservation into archaeological work at a site—has been central to excavations at Tell Mozan, the location of ancient Urkesh in northeastern Syria. Of the Past, for the Future: A Coalition for Change at the Fifth World Archaeological Congress The World Archaeological Congress is an international organization of practicing archaeologists, which holds meetings every four years. The fifth congress is the first to include a major theme on the conservation of archaeological sites and materials. Organized by a coalition of organizations led by the GCI, these conservation sessions are intended to reach out to the archaeology profession and to communicate a message of holistic conservation, stressing the partnership role that conservation can play in archaeology.
