Writing for The Conversation, Bill Finlayson, Michael Fradley and Andrew Petersen (University of Bradford) report on progress by a partnership between the Palestinian Department of Archaeology and Cultural Heritage, the Bethlehem-based Centre for Cultural Heritage Protection (CCHP) and the universities of Oxford, Southampton and Bradford. Together they have been gathering information to develop a more comprehensive inventory of heritage sites across Gaza to assess their changing condition. Constructing such a list is significantly more difficult during times of war.
This work is helping report on the extensive conflict damage to the cultural heritage of Gaza. It will be available to support heritage protection once there is a ceasefire and physical reconstruction can begin.
