ICOMOS-ICAHM will organize the conference Archaeological Park as World Heritage Site – A Management Strategy for the Future, at Salalah, Oman.
The essential value of any archaeological site is dependent upon the degree to which its archaeological materials are kept intact and in context. Because of this, access to archaeological sites is restricted to government authorities and approved researchers in many countries. In a World Heritage setting, however, an archaeological site becomes public space, one that simultaneously promotes and threatens its scientific and historic value. The focus of this conference will be the sustainable management of archaeological World Heritage Sites through negotiating these tensions in planning, inventory and evaluation, facility construction and operation, building management capacity, and inclusion of local stakeholders.
Please visit the website (http://www.icomos.org/icahm/oman_home.html) for other conference themes and information about registration, submitting abstracts, and details for accommodations and travel. Attached please find the conference brochure.
