Outreach event at Derna (June 24, 2021).
[/vc_wp_text][mk_padding_divider size=”20″][vc_wp_text]Another important aspect of this outreach work is the collaborative investigation and documentation of damaged or at-risk sites in the area around Cyrene by members of the Department of Antiquities and archaeologists from the region鈥檚 universities.The current damage and assessment work is concentrating on an area to the south between Cyrene and al Gubbah/Lamluda. This area (approximately 30 km x 5 km) contains many isolated sites that need to be documented and assessed for damage. These sites are being documented via GIS mapping and photogrammetry recordings. The data recorded will be placed into a GIS database to be used for future monitoring.[/vc_wp_text][mk_padding_divider size=”20″][vc_single_image image=”75655″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][mk_padding_divider size=”5″][vc_wp_text]

[/vc_wp_text][mk_padding_divider size=”20″][vc_wp_text]In addition to the assessment survey work, landowners and residents in the area will be invited to participate in discussions on how they can help to protect the cultural heritage in their area.As shown in the map below, during the first week of the ground survey which began on Saturday, 26-6-2021, the team was able to re-document and evaluate the status of nine major sites and a number of sub-sites in the area between Wadi Al-Zinadi and Ablakhna.
The sites visited are varied from fortified farms associated with agricultural and industrial features such as dams, cisterns, water channels, etc., to tombs, towers and rock-cut chambers dating back to different periods from Greek, Roman, Byzantine up to the Italian period.
The vast majority of those sites have been damaged and under threat from different factors. From the development of all kinds, from new roads, water pipelines, new farms and field systems, the building of new houses and holiday houses as well as problems with looting and vandalism. Grazing, vegetation, and uncontrolled visits to these sites are also other factors that causing damage and disturbance to them.[/vc_wp_text][mk_padding_divider size=”20″][vc_single_image image=”75658″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][mk_padding_divider size=”20″][mk_divider thickness=”1″ margin_bottom=”10″][vc_wp_text]
