Protection of a bronze age archaeological site and rehabilitation of an on-site complex in northern Syria.

In northern Syria, several structures at the remains of an ancient city in one of the oldest archaeological sites have been severely impacted by the effects of conflict.

Damage assessment and consolidation will be carried out by project lead Asociacion RehabiMed on these structures and highly significant artefacts and archaeological materials at risk of being looted will be documented and stored. Local architects and archaeologists will also be trained in assessment, monitoring and preservation techniques.

A number of people living around the site will be trained in traditional building skills before assisting in the renovation of an on-site complex. Upon completion this will provide an invaluable community and civil society resource.
