Conservation in Jordan: A Comprehensive Methodology for Historical and Cultural Resources
Currently, in Jordan, management of the cultural heritage is restricted to rescue and salvage archaeology and does not address the conservation of the more recent and diverse cultural heritage. The objective of this research is to develop a comprehensive-regional method for the identification, evaluation, and management of historical and cultural resources of Jordan's recent heritage (post-AD 1700) taking into consideration local culture, dynamics and context.
The research adopted a multimethod approach through the incorporation of between-method triangulation. The first method used was an exploration in the contexts and dynamics of heritage conservation, which took the form of an expedition (travelling workshop) to Jordan in 1994. The second method was a study of the evolution of conservation movements in different geographic and cultural contexts. This research goes beyond being an intellectual exercise or an advocacy to save monumental and appealing architecture; it is a rhetorical argument (a scientific, methodological and historical argument), based on maximizing the voices of authority and understanding the key players in conservation in Jordan to build a broader understanding of Jordanian local, national and place identities.
