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.
