On October 14-19, 1990, the 6th International Conference on the Conservation of Earthen Architecture was held in Las Cruces, New Mexico. Sponsored by the GCI, the Museum of New Mexico State Monuments, ICCROM, CRATerre-EAG, and the National Park Service, under the aegis of US/ICOMOS, the event was organized to promote the exchange of ideas, techniques, and research findings on the conservation of earthen architecture. Presentations at the conference covered a diversity of subjects, including the historic traditions of earthen architecture, conservation and restoration, site preservation, studies in consolidation and seismic mitigation, and examinations of moisture problems, clay chemistry, and microstructures. In discussions that focused on the future, the application of modern technologies and materials to site conservation was urged, as was using scientific knowledge of existing structures in the creation of new, low-cost, earthen architecture housing.

One of the greatest challenges faced today by those responsible for ancient cultural sites is that of maintaining the delicate balance between conserving these fragile resources and making them available to increasing numbers of visitors. Tourism, unchecked development, and changing environmental conditions threaten significant historical sites throughout the world. These issues are among the topics dealt with in this book, which reports on the proceedings of an international conference on the conservation of classical sites in the Mediterranean region, organized by the Getty Conservation Institute and the J. Paul Getty Museum. The book includes chapters discussing management issues at three sites: Piazza Armerina, Sicily; Knossos, Crete; and Ephesus, Turkey. While visiting these sites, conference participants examined how issues raised at these locales can illuminate the challenges of management and conservation faced by complex heritage sites the world over. Additional chapters discuss such topics as the management of cultural sites, the reconstruction of ancient buildings, and ways of presenting and interpreting sites for today's visitors.

DEPUIS 1991, UNE EXPERIENCE ORIGINALE A ETE MENEE EN ETROITE COLLABORATION ENTRE LE CRATERRE-EAG (LABORATOIRE DE RECHERCHE A L'ECOLE D'ARCHITECTURE DE GRENOBLE) ET LA MISSION ARCHEOLOGIQUE FRANCAISE A MARI (SYRIE) . CETTE EXPERIENCE NOUS A PERMIS DE MENER UNE RECHERCHE SELON UNE VOIE NOUVELLE POUR POSER LES BASES D'UNE REELLE CONNAISSANCE DES PROBLEMES LIES A LA DEGRADATION DES VESTIGES ARCHEOLOGIQUES EN BRIQUES DE TERRE CRUE. LES CONNAISSANCES DES PHENOMENES PHYSICO-CHIMIQUES LIES A L'EROSION DES ARCHITECTURES EN TERRE CRUE SONT ASSEZ LIMITEES. OR, QUASIMENT TOUTES LES RECHERCHES SUR LA PRESERVATION DE L'ARCHITECTURE CONCERNENT DES MATERIAUX INERTES COMME LA PIERRE, LE BETON, LA TERRE CUITE... LES QUELQUES EXPERIENCES QUI ONT ETE ENTREPRISES DE PART LE MONDE, DANS LE DOMAINE DE L'ARCHITECTURE EN TERRE, RESTENT TIMIDES ET LES RESULTATS OBTENUS ONT RAREMENT CONNU UNE APPLICATION SIGNIFICATIVE. LE MANQUE DE REFERENCES DANS CE DOMAINE SE FAIT REMARQUER ET LE BESOIN DE COMBLER CE VIDE EST URGENT. NOTRE RECHERCHE VIENT REJOINDRE CES PREOCCUPATIONS ET NOUS A PERMIS A LA FOIS DE CONTRIBUER A L'APPROFONDISSEMENT DES CONNAISSANCES DU MATERIAU TERRE, CONSTITUER UNE BASE DE REFERENCES POUR D'AUTRES PROJETS ET DEBOUCHER SUR DES PROPOSITIONS CONCRETES DE TRAITEMENT ADAPTEES AUX RUINES CINQ FOIS MILLENAIRES DU SITE DE MARI. CES OBJECTIFS SUPPOSENT UNE DEMARCHE SCIENTIFIQUE PRIVILEGIANT LE TRAVAIL D'OBSERVATION ET D'EXPERIMENTATION IN SITU, ET UNE DEMARCHE HISTORIQUE AFIN D'APPREHENDER LES VALEURS INTRINSEQUES DES MONUMENTS A TRAITER. AINSI, LA QUESTION DE PRESERVATION DES RUINES DE MARINE SE POSE PLUS EN TERME DE RECETTES TECHNIQUES DE TRAITEMENT, MAIS INTEGRE OBJECTIVEMENT LES QUALITES INTRINSEQUES DES RUINES EN SE REFERANT LE PLUS SOUVENT POSSIBLE A LEUR SUBSTANCE HISTORIQUE ET A LEUR POTENTIEL ARCHEOLOGIQUE. EN CONJUGUANT LES CONNAISSANCES D'AUJOURD'HUI ET LES SAVOIR-FAIRE ANTIQUES, CELA NOUS A PERMIS D'ADAPTER NOTRE INTERVENTION DANS LE RESPECT DES VESTIGES A CONSERVER.

Earthen architecture constitutes one of the most diverse forms of cultural heritage and one of the most challenging to preserve. It dates from all periods and is found on all continents but is particularly prevalent in Africa, where it has been a building tradition for centuries. Sites range from ancestral cities in Mali to the palaces of Abomey in Benin, from monuments and mosques in Iran and Buddhist temples on the Silk Road to Spanish missions in California. This volume's sixty-four papers address such themes as earthen architecture in Mali, the conservation of living sites, local knowledge systems and intangible aspects, seismic and other natural forces, the conservation and management of archaeological sites, research advances, and training.

Worldwide, there is a vast but fragile earthen heritage that is barely surviving due to serious damage of the fabric. It is generally believed that natural agents are the overall cause for the decay of earthen heritage. However, when thoroughly evaluating, it can be observed that conservators’ interventions have a major impact, which leads to question current approaches to conservation and the reasons why intervention mistakes are repeated and why successful conservation results are still scarce. The research methodology of this investigation is based in a case study strategy analysing three World Heritage earthen sites, namely Chan Chan in Peru, Aït Ben Haddou in Morocco and Arg-e Bam in Iran. A combination of sources was also used, following a multi-method approach. This book suggests implementing standards for high quality intervention through the definition of criteria for decision-making and indicators of quality and best practice, as well as clarification concerning procedures in the methodology of intervention. It also stresses the importance of conservation theory in earthen heritage conservation, combining theory and practice. In addition, the book recommends an overall strategy in the conservation of earthen heritage, with particular emphasis on an approach that integrates education, awareness, research and preventive conservation.
