Los nativos americanos haban modificado el paisaje antes de la llegada de los europeos
Un nuevo estudio de investigadores, del Departamento de geologa de la Universidad Baylor, demuestra que la utilizacin de
la tierra por los Amerindios tuvo un impacto generalizado en el paisaje del Este Norteamericano; adems el desarrollo de las
llanuras inundables se hizo varios centenares de aos antes de la llegada de las grandes zonas de asentamiento europeos.
Los investigadores asignaron al principio de la colonizacin la utilizacin de las tierras, as como la deforestacin, la labranza y
la construccin de presas. Esto habra influido en los sistemas hidrolgicos actuales en el Este de Norteamrica.
Aunque estudios previos sugeran que la utilizacin de las tierras de los Amerindios en el Este de Norteamrica haba sido la
causa de cambios en los sistemas hidrolgicos, pocas pruebas directas se haban podido proporcionar hasta ahora

15 tombes Byzantines dcouvertes dans le centre de la Rpublique arabe syrienne
Une spulture de l'poque byzantine a t dcouverte dans le village d'al-Ruba Zighreen, 30 km
au nord-est de Hama; il y avait un certain nombre de tombes l'intrieur desquelles on a pu
retrouver des poteries, du mtal, du verre et des pices d'or.
Abdul- Qader Farzat, Chef du Dpartement d'Archologie d'Hama, a prcis que le tombeau
possde une entre de 110 cm de long et 60 cm de large menant une petite pice entoure de
cinq chambres comprenant trois tombes chacune.
Les tombes ont une longueur de 175 cm, une profondeur de 40 cm et elles sont spares par
un espace de 25 cm.
Ce sont donc 15 tombes qui ont t dcouvertes dans la spulture.
Certaines des tombes contenaient plus d'un cercueil recouvert de panneaux de briques, tandis que d'autres taient
recouverts de pierres de basalte non tailles.

Las excavaciones de Marden Henge revelan un edificio ceremonial (Reino Unido)
Arquelogos de English Heritage descubrieron una construccin ceremonial de 4500 aos de antigedad.
Este descubrimiento tuvo lugar durante unas excavaciones recientes, que duraron ms de seis semanas, en Marden Henge,
uno de los monumentos prehistricos ms importantes de Gran Bretaa, pero tambin el peor comprendido.
La estructura se descubri en el emplazamiento de un pequeo henge, desconocido hasta entonces, en los alrededores del
famoso Marden Henge; se trata de uno de los edificios neolticos mejor conservados de Gran Bretaa al margen de los
Orkneys.
En equilibrio precario en la cumbre de un talud, y con una apertura a la derecha sobre la pendiente hacia la zanja interna,
parece ser una eleccin poco probable para un hbitat. Sin embargo, pudo ser un emplazamiento privilegiado para ofrecer
una vista hacia el interior del henge, con el fin de observar las actividades en su centro.

Roman Roads not Roman after all? - Tarmac's Bayston Hill quarry. Shropshire (United Kingdom)
A discovery at Tarmac's Bayston Hill quarry in Shropshire has thrown into question the belief that Roman invaders
introduced roads to Britain.
Excavations carried out by environmental consultants SLR at the site suggest that the Romans may have made use of
existing roads engineered by Iron Age Britons.
The find shows that a metalled and cambered roadway, was constructed in the first century BC - a 100 years before the
Emperor Claudius sent troops to conquer Britain.

COMPETITIONS - Expression of Interest (EOI): Historic Environment: Local Authority Capacity by English
Heritage. Deadline for nomination: 21 April 2011
Reductions to budgets mean that nearly everything local government does is being re-evaluated and historic environment
services, which are non statutory and have often evolved to meet the needs of the local community, are not exempt.
To respond to this key stakeholders have got together to support authorities as they make these difficult decisions, to
explore how to retain a focus on strategic heritage outcomes, reduce unnecessary bureaucracy and process and pool
resources across public bodies and engage civic societies more effectively. HELAC represents a partnership initiative with
English Heritage and the LGA being joined by the Association of Local Government Archaeological Officers, the Institute of
Historic Building Conservation and the Planning Officers Society. The first phase will see the partners working closely with a
number of nominated areas as they adapt services to meet new pressures. That process should see a variety of different
options for delivering a successful service emerge, each with an emphasis on partnership working, reducing unnecessary
process and working more effectively with other bodies...

Los humanos ms modernos procedan del sur de frica, sugiere un
estudio
Un estudio gentico de grupos nmadas africanos sugiere que los humanos ms
modernos evolucionaron desde el sur de frica, en lugar de proceder del este
como sugera un estudio previo, segn han informado cientficos este mes.
El equipo, dirigido por Brenna Henn de la Universidad de Stanford California, ha
llevado a cabo el estudio gentico de mayor envergadura sobre los cazadores
nmadas que vivan en frica hasta el momento. Tambin compararon el ADN con muestras de otras poblaciones africanas y
europeas.
Analizaron polimorfismos de nucleotidos simples (SNP), que constituyen pequeas variaciones de secuencia de ADN entre
grupos de gente. Los SNPs pueden ayudar a enfatizar las relaciones gentica,s la divergencia evolutiva e incluso
enfermedades.
Los resultados revelaron que los bosquimanos de Namibia y Khomani del sur de frica, los pigmeos Biaka de frica central y
los Sandawe del frica oriental, son los que presentan los niveles ms altos de diversidad gentica en el mundo, dice un
equipo.
La diversidad gentica es un indicador de la antigedad de los pueblos. En principio, cuando ms antigua la poblacin, ms
tiempo ha tenido para construir su diversidad.
Utilizando informacin gentica y localizaciones geogrficas de los grupos de cazadores nmadas, el equipo dedujo que el
origen de los humanos modernos, el Homo sapiens, se sita en el frica del Sur.

Artefactos en Tejas precedentes a la cultura Clovis de 2,500 aos, Nuevos estudios. Tejas (EE.
UU.)
Los investigadores en Tejas han descubierto cientos de artefactos humanos en una capa del terreno que se
sita directamente bajo un conjunto de reliquias Clovis, lo cual ampla la evidencia de que otras culturas
precedieron a la cultura Clovies en Norteamrica. Este conjunto de herramientas pre-Clovis parece tener
entre 13.200 y 15.500 aos de antigedad e incluye tecnologa de hojas y bifaces que podran haber sido
adoptados ms tarde, e incluso mejorados, por la cultura Clovis. La poblacin Clovis, cuyas herramientas
eran conocidas por sus distintivas puntas onduladas, ha sido considerada como los primeros pobladores de
Norteamrica alrededor de 13.000 aos atrs. Durante los ltimos aos, las evidencias encontradas de forma repartida han
sealado a culturales anteriores. Pero tal evidencia ha sido rebatida en parte por el hecho de que se han recuperado muy
pocos artefactos.

Power Structure at El Tajin Revealed: City was Not Governed by One Single Person - Mexico
New hypotheses about the last stage and government of El Tajin civilization point out to a rule that was not exclusive of
one person but of several, as announced in a conference series organized by the National Institute of Anthropology and
History (INAH).
According to studies performed at the Veracruz archaeological zone by Dr Arturo Pascual, from the National Autonomous
University of Mexico (UNAM), El Tajin experimented in its last stage intense transformations in its government and ideology
that were captured in its architecture and iconography.
Power Structure at El Tajin Revealed: City was Not Governed by One Single Person
- Mexico
New hypotheses about the last stage and government of El Tajin civilization point out to a
rule that was not exclusive of one person but of several, as announced in a conference series
organized by the National Institute of Anthropology and History (INAH).
According to studies performed at the Veracruz archaeological zone by Dr Arturo Pascual,
from the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM), El Tajin experimented in its last
stage intense transformations in its government and ideology that were captured in its
architecture and iconography.
In this sense, near 800-850 AD, the ancient Mesoamerican city suffered a profound change in its government after the
accession of a new group of a lineage linked to the figure of 13 Rabbit, depicted at the Edificio de las Columnas pillars.
At the reliefs, characters with the same calendar name are represented at the western portico (dated between 800-850
AD) and at the eastern one (900-950 AD).
Archaeologists Investigate Iraqi Marshes for Origins of Mesopotamian Cities - Iraq
Three National Science Foundation-supported researchers recently undertook the first non-Iraqi archaeological
investigation of the Tigris-Euphrates delta in nearly 20 years. Archeologists Jennifer Pournelle and Carrie Hritz, with
geologist Jennifer Smith, carried out the study late last year to look for links between wetland resources and the
emergence of Mesopotamian cities.
"Mesopotamia"--Greek for "the land between the rivers"--is an area about 300 miles long and 150 miles wide straddling
the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, which now run through Iraq, northeastern Syria, southeastern Turkey and southwestern
Iran. It is broadly considered a cradle of civilization, because urban societies first developed there, about six thousand
years ago.

Jordan Wants to Retrieve Major Christian Relics
Jordan's archaeology chief says he has a solid legal case to press for the return of 70 ancient lead books stolen and
smuggled into Israel
Ziad al-Saad says the relics could be the earliest Christian writing in existence.
If authenticated, he says they would be the most significant find in Christian archaeology since the discovery of the Dead
Sea Scrolls in 1947.
He says there is strong evidence that the material was excavated in a northern cave by a Jordanian Bedouin five years
ago. But they made their way into the hands of an Israeli Bedouin.
He said Sunday that initial carbon and metallurgy tests performed by British experts date the material, depicting messianic
symbols and written in archaic Hebrew, to the 1st century A.D.
Los americanos prehistricos cambiaban el chocolate por turquesas? Restos

Restos de un componente qumico en el cacao-el ingrediente ms importante del chocolatese encontraron en varios recipientes para beber en varios sitios arqueolgicos de Pueblo

Las antiguas gentes Puebloan levantaron el complejo, el epicentro de una cultura ancestral

Pero el cacao, una fruta tropical que crece en Amrica central y del sur, se cultivaba en la

Los hallazgos sugieren que el complejo en Nuevo Mjico tambin sirvi como una lugar de cambio para las poblaciones de
Mesoamrica y los Puebloans entre los siglos 11 y 14- y que los dos grupos estaban altamente conectados ms de lo que se
haba pensado con anterioridad, afirm un estudio dirigido por Dorothy Washburn.

se sabe que se encontraba en las minas de Puebloans, en lo que es hoy en da Nuevo Mjico (Haga un cuestionario sobre el

Online lecture: Ur of the Chaldees Lecture by Penn Museum.
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (USA)
Dr. Richard L. Zettler, Co-curator of Iraqs Ancient Past gives a one-hour
lecture about Biblical Ur of the Chaldees, one of the largest and most
important Mesopotamian cities. Drawing on Sir Leonard Woolleys
excavations in the 1920s and 30s, he presents a colorful portrait of the
city that existed circa 2100-1600 BCE, a city with a towering ziggurat and
crowded residential areas. The city that Woolley so painstakingly
uncovered is not only the city he claimed Abraham walked, but also the model for our understanding of ancient
Mesopotamian urbanism today.

Libyan Arab Jamahiriya Archaeological Sites
The Archaeological Institute of America (AIA) and the US Committee of the Blue Shield (USCBS) call on the international
community to protect the ancient sites and antiquities of Libya, which are now facing very real threats of damage and
destruction caused by the civil unrest and military action taking place there.
While our thoughts are primarily for the safety of the people harms way, the cultural heritage and archaeological resources
located in Libya are irreplaceable elements of the worlds shared memory, going back thousands of years. The importance
of guarding these treasures while military operations are underway cannot be overestimated.
In this context information is essential, particularly up to date knowledge of the locations of cultural heritage and
archaeological sites. We have posted this map to provide locations of sites in Libya and to illustrate just how close so many
are to the danger.

Diving Ice Age Mexico - Clues about the earliest Americans emerge from the Yucatn's watery
underworld
Clues about the earliest Americans emerge from the Yucatns watery underworld
Beneath the surface of Mexicos Yucatn peninsula is a massive network of caves that forms a world unto
itself. Until 7,600 years ago, the caves were mostly dry, providing shelter and naturally occurring pools of
drinkable water to people and animals living in a region with few rivers. As the glaciers in North America
melted and sea levels rose, so did the water levels in the caves, preserving the traces of human activity in
place. These water-filled spaces, called cenotes, are largely unexplored, but a dedicated group of
archaeologists and divers are working together to investigate them

Wartime German Bunker Discovered by Workers in Warsaw Laying a New Tram
Line - WARSAW - POLAND
Workers in Warsaw laying a new tram line have uncovered a German bunker dating back to
World War II, officials said Thursday.
The bunker was discovered in recent days at Plac Zbawiciela, or Savior's Square, a major
traffic hub in the Polish capital where tram tracks and the street are undergoing thorough
renovation.
City archaeologist Barbara Piotrowska said it was a surprise that such a massive concrete

Language May Have Helped Early Humans Spread Out of Africa
The story of humanity's prehistoric expansion across the planet is recorded in our genes. And, apparently, the story of the
spread of language is hidden in the sounds of our words. That's the finding of a new study, which concludes that both
people and languages spread out from an African homeland by a similar processand that language may have been the
cultural innovation that fueled our ancestors' momentous migrations

India's Underground Water Temples - GUJARAT - INDIA
Descend into any of Gujarats stepwells, and the first thing you might notice is the
temperature changethough they are bone dry, its nonetheless like stepping into a pool of
cool water. The second sensation is disorientation. They are marvels of proportion and
symmetry, but theyre also recursive, Escher-esque, and vertiginous. The final impression, as
you look up, down, and through the stepwell, is surprise that something as mundane as a
well can be both monumental and intimate

The Sacred Landscape of Ancient Ireland - Evidence from both excavations and
rare manuscripts reveal much about early Ireland's cosmology and its people's
deep connection to the land
Tara near the midpoint of the north-south line connecting Emain Macha and Dn Ailinne. The
significance of this arrangement is still unknown, but it is notable. Archaeological work
shows that early activity at these sites may have had to do with burials, and that these
enclosures were constructed during the Iron Age. Surprisingly, none of them are suitable for
defense. Instead, each seems to mark off an area that only makes sense if viewed as sacred

Sands, Not Lights, Cover Gaza Archaeology Sites - Palestine
Five thousand years of fascinating history lie beneath the sands of the Gaza Strip, from blinded biblical hero Samson to
British general Allenby.
The flat, sandy lands on the Mediterranean's southeastern shore have been ruled by Ancient Egyptians, Philistines,
Romans, Byzantines and Crusaders.
Alexander the Great besieged the city. Emperor Hadrian visited. Mongols raided Gaza, and 1,400 years ago Islamic armies
invaded. Gaza has been part of the Ottoman Empire, a camp for Napoleon and a First World War battleground.
North Korea's Full Moon Tower - A joint project between the two Koreas searches
for their shared history
At the foot of Mount Songak, in the center of the Korean peninsula, sits Manwoldae, a vast
tenth-century royal palace complex built by the Goryeo, one of medieval Koreas least-known
dynasties. There is an ancient explanation for this gap in knowledge about medieval Korean
history: Although the Goryeo ruled for almost 400 years, they left very few records of their
own, and the sparse texts in which they are mentioned were written by historians from the
succeeding Joseon Dynasty. There is also a modern reason why we know so little. Most
Goryeo sites, including Manwoldae, are located in North Korea, which is almost entirely closed to foreign researchers.

Rivista online - Centro Universitario Europeo per i Beni Culturali di Ravello: Territori della
Cultura, n3, 2011
All'inizio degli anni ottanta l'Europa unita, malgrado ricorrenti solenni dichiarazioni, era soltanto il sogno
di pochi idealisti.
Gi da allora per, andava diffondendosi la convinzione della necessit di una formazione europeistica della
nuova classe dirigente: in particolare si riteneva che ai giovani dovessero proporsi le dimensioni e le
prospettive di un'Europa che non fosse solo un compendio di storie, magari gloriose ma particolari, e
neppure un insieme di Stati, ognuno autonomo ed emulo degli altri, ma una Patria comune.
A fondamento di essa si ergeva l'immenso patrimonio di cultura e di storia, prodotto insieme nei millenni. Appunto la
cultura comune sembrava poter dare un contenuto all'utopia.
L'Universit fu quindi giustamente individuata come strumento insostituibile di preparazione e di sostegno dell'Unione
Europea. L'Universit Europea era da pensare daccapo, e comunque da organizzare non ad imitazione di quelle nazionali e
meno ancora come sovrapposizione ad esse, ma piuttosto come complementare e come scuola di perfezionamento.
Il Centro Universitario Europeo per i Beni culturali nacque appunto come sperimentatore e pioniere di quella che dovrebbe
essere l'Universit europea per i beni culturali.

Archaeology and the Anxiety of Loss: Effacing Preservation from the History of Renaissance Rome - Italy
By David Karmon
It is a famous paradox that Renaissance builders, despite their avowed reverence for classical antiquity, caused widespread
archaeological destruction in Rome. As early as the 14th century, humanists criticized the devastation caused by new
construction in the papal capital, and later archaeologists applied the scientific techniques of their new discipline to
substantiate these claims. But the blanket condemnation of Renaissance destruction is both unfair and misleading. This
article investigates how fear for the survival of archaeological artifacts, or the anxiety of loss, has distorted our
understanding of early modern interventions on ancient sites. By drawing on new evidence for preservation practices, it
explores why these were effaced from the historical record and invites us to rethink the history of archaeology in
Renaissance Rome.

Astronomical Evidence for the Timing of the Panathenaia - Acropolis. Athens (Greece)
Article by Efrosyni Boutsikas
For the first time, the role of the night sky in the performance of nocturnal festivals in ancient Greece is considered. This
study presents a reconstruction of the Athenian night sky as it would have been visible from the Acropolis during the
celebration of the Panathenaia. A link is suggested between the timing of the festival, held on the Acropolis, and the
movement of the constellation of Draco, which would have been visible in the night sky during this time. This association is
supported by the half-human half-snake early Athenian kings, the myths associated with the festival, the snake that lived
in the Erechtheion crypt, and the role of Athena in the Giantomachy. The visible surroundings of the Athenian Acropolis
that participants of the nocturnal rites would have seen offer a more nuanced understanding of the relationship between
Greek cosmology, astronomy, and ritual practice.

COMPETITIONS - Competition Entry for Galileum in Solingen / Ren van Zuuk
Architekten (Germany)
The Regional Industrial Heritage Organization of Solingen, Germany has called for a
competition to redevelop the local observation using an old spherical gas container in order to
address the strong industrial character and historical context of the container and the local
architecture. The following project is an entry from Ren van Zuuk Architekten. The site is
located on the edge of a residential area near a railroad, from which the steel spire of the old
gas container is visible. With a diameter of 26 metres the container has a frame of eleven
columns that rest on 3m high concrete foundations. The original design is pragmatic in its approach. A sphere was used as
the most efficient model with the largest surface area available to function at the lowest cost. The staircase was built with
the same functional consideration as the rest of the building and it follows that, to use the existing spherical structure, the
new design would have to be approached with the same rigor.

Indian Survey Finds More Tigers, but Some Wonder
A new survey by the Indian government reports a 12% increase in the country's adult tiger
population. But some tiger experts think the numbers don't really add up.
A 2006 survey estimated that the country was home to 1165 to 1657 tigers. The latest
survey counts 1571 to 1875 tigers, almost 60% of the world's wild population, including 70
tigers that were found in the mangroves of the Ganges Delta of the Sundarbans, an area not
covered during the last survey, and another 30 from two other areasthe Orang Wildlife
Sanctuary in eastern India and the Sahyadari protected area in western Indiathat were left
out earlier. However, tigers are now squeezed into 22% less space than 5 years ago, to some 72,000 square kilometers
today.

rhinos in the past three years - just for their horns. With the most serious poaching upsurge

Invasive species experts call for action in the basin of one of African Great Lakes,
Lake Tanganyika
Threats posed by invasive species and ways to monitor and control them will be discussed at a
meeting in the Republic of Burundi tomorrow, with special focus on invasive species that are
spreading in the basin of one of African Great Lakes, Lake Tanganyika.
Invasive species are species introduced to a new area where they spread causing significant
damage to biodiversity and the productivity of natural and agricultural ecosystems. In the
1990s for example, the invasion of water hyacinth and Nile perch in Lake Victoria caused
hundreds of fish species to disappear or become extinct and some of the ecosystem to collapse.

The Rise of Animal Law : A new area of study
By Greg Miller
Animal law is a relatively new area of study that examinesand often challengeshow the law treats animals. Some of those
who teach animal law courses describe themselves as activists; others shy away from that label. But many take issue with
a legal system that treats animals as property and provides few mechanisms for protecting their interests in court. Some of
these legal scholars have proposed strategies for advancing animal rights through steppingstone cases that erode the
notion of animals as property and grant them some of the same protections people have. Others, drawing inspiration from
the antislavery and civil rights movements, advocate a more direct effort to establish fundamental rights for animalsat
least for more cognitively sophisticated species such as great apes and cetaceans (see sidebar). No one is arguing that
orangutans should be given the right to vote, but some legal scholars see no reason why apes shouldn't have rights similar
to those of a child or a person in a coma. If these efforts succeed, there could be repercussions for everyone who works
with animalsincluding scientists.

Naresh Subedi works to save Nepals wildlife. He studies and monitors animals such as rhinos
and tigers, and actively involves local communities in conservation.
Naresh is currently involved in carrying out a rhino census in the Chitwan National Park,
which has the second largest population of greater one-horned rhino in the world. He
recently fitted radio collars on eight rhinos living in the park and now conducts regular patrols to monitor their movements.
This often means spending the whole night in the park, which is also home to tigers, elephants and gharials.

Gorilas en la Repblica Democrtica del Congo (DRC) estn muriendo, vctimas del trfico ilegal de animales y de la
prdida del hbitat
Los cientficos sospechan que el nmero de gorilas ha disminuido de forma dramtica en los ltimos 15 aos y han mostrado su
preocupacin designndolos como en peligro de extincin.
El gorila de Grauer, en ocasiones llamado gorila de llanura oriental, es a veces olvidado. No se encuentra a ninguno en los
zoos y puesto que el rea donde vive no es segura desde hace dcadas, es imposible que nos enteremos cada vez que uno
muere. Slo el apoyo de aquellos que realmente estn involucrados y se preocupan ha hecho posible que la Fundacin Fossey
comience a combatir la prdida del hbitat y el trfico de animales en DRC.
Desde el 2000, los donantes comprometidos nos han permitido trabajar con los lderes congoleos locales para crear nueve
reservas naturales a lo largo de las 27.000 millas cuadradas, casi todo el territorio que abarca el gorila de Grauer en
peligro de extincin y que es ligeramente mayor que el territorio de Ruanda. Esta aproximacin innovadora a la conservacinotorgando poderes a los habitantes locales para que gestionen sus propios recursos naturales- es la NICA estrategia de
conservacin que tendr resultados a largo plazo.
GRACE, el Centro de Educacin para la Rehabilitacin y Conservacin del Gorila, se preocupa de los gorilas rescatados y
hurfanos que podran morir si se dejan en la selva. Como miembro fundador de GRACE, nos hemos apoyado en las
donaciones de personas que a lo largo de los aos nos han ofrecido la financiacin necesaria para cuidar de los gorilas
rescatados en centros temporales, mientras que buscbamos el apoyo para construir y poner en marcha un centro
permanente. CADA gorila es importante para la supervivencia de las especies, por lo que estos hurfanos sern devueltos a
la selva en cuanto que hayan aprendido a vivir como un grupo.
Trabajar en DRC es peligroso y caro, pero el precio no es demasiado alto para salvar gorilas, para salvar uno de los
bosques tropicales ms importantes del mundo y muchas de las otras especies que viven en l.

A blessing in disguise - Pakistan
In 1984, when I was a Divisional Forest Officer, I was kidnapped in the thick forest of Dadu, in
southern Pakistan. The armed gang kept me in captivity for two nights but it seemed like a
thousand years. My confidence was shattered and my career took a turn for what I thought at the
time was the worst. After this, I decided to work on coastal conservation. This change, which
involved restoring mangroves, was actually a blessing in disguise. It gave me a platform to chart
completely unexplored territory in Pakistan.
Tahir Qureshi is Programme Director of IUCN Pakistans Coastal Ecosystem Unit. He was the first
forest officer to be kidnapped by a notorious gang of dacoits belonging to the renowned Baloch Chandio Tribe. The 60strong gang, armed with the latest weapons, were operating in densely forested areas.

The man who saves turtles - Malaysia
Nick saves sea turtles. In a nutshell thats what he does. But he has to look far beyond their nesting
grounds to make it work.
Nick has a PhD in turtle biology, but he says it did not prepare him for the real-world challenges of
turtle conservation.
After an early career in Saudi Arabia, Malaysia and Palau as a marine biologist, Nick settled down in
north Borneo and established his own non- governmental organization, the Marine Research
Foundation (MRF), a non-profit entity geared to saving marine life across various countries and facing
differing threats. MRF, an IUCN Member, now serves as a base from which Nick addresses turtle conservation at various
levels, and with an ever-growing diversity of people.

understanding of the benefits and value of ecosystem services like fresh water, food, fibre and
protection against natural disasters.
The economic value of nature and the services it provides us is enormous, but it is rarely taken
into account in policies, financial systems and markets. The Guide to Corporate Ecosystem
Valuation (CEV) aims to enable companies to better understand the value of natures services
that they affect and depend on. This will improve business decision-making by creating more alignment between
businesses financial, ecological and social objectives.

Virus humanos relacionados con las muertes de gorilas en peligro de

Un virus que causa una enfermedad respiratoria en los humanos se ha
asociado a la muerte de gorilas salvajes de montaa, segn informa un equipo
de investigadores de Estados Unidos y frica.
El hallazgo confirma que serias enfermedades pueden transmitirse de los
humanos a estos primates en peligro de extincin. Los humanos y los gorilas
comparten aproximadamente el 98 por ciento de su ADN, un hecho gentico
que ha llevado a la preocupacin de que los gorilas sean susceptibles de infectarse con las enfermedades infecciosas que
afectan a los humanos.
Investigadores del proyecto sin nimo de lucro Mountain Gorilla Veterinary; del Wildlife Health Centre en la Universidad de

Rethinking Palm Oil
It's in our candy bars, soap and peanut butter it even powers some of our cars. Yet it is precisely this high demand that
makes palm oil one of the most controversial commodities on the market today. The rapid expansion of monoculture palm
oil plantations especially in Southeast Asia has led to the continuing destruction of the world's remaining tropical forests.

Luciano Andriamaro: Health and Fresh Water: Ingredients for Success in Madagascar
The crystal-clear waters of Madagascar's Nosivolo River hold more than beauty: they hold life. The river's waters support
19 endemic fish species, four of which are found in the Nosivolo and nowhere else.
So when, in September 2010, the river and its watershed was named a Ramsar site, it marked a milestone for CI and local
communities in a joint mission to create protected areas that ensure the long-term health of the river for the fish and for
the human population living nearby.
And Luciano Andriamaro, Science Support Program Manager for CI-Madagascar, understands well how important a healthy
river ecosystem is for ensuring benefits for both local communities and wildlife.

La Runion, Maurice et Rodrigues prsentent des traditions mdicinales uniques. Fruits d'un processus de

mdicinaux propres chacune d'elles a permis la naissance d'un savoir commun, transmis en grande partie par les femmes.
Cet ouvrage met en lumire la connaissance qu'ont ces femmes des plantes mdicinales et des gestes mdicaux, notamment
ceux qui accompagnent la naissance. Il interroge galement la place des savoirs mdicinaux dans ces socits insulaires lheure

Online Study - Animals Find Sanctuary With Scientists
In an 85-square-kilometer swath of rainforest in Cte d'Ivoire's Ta National Park, monkeys call to one another, chimps drum
on tree trunks, and tiny antelopes rustle through the underbrush. That's where researchers have been studying primate
communities for more than 3 decades. Step outside the research zone, though, and the animal sounds fall silent. The
forest is noticeably emptier as a result of heavy poaching. Field researchers all over the world have noticed that long-term
research sites double as sanctuaries, but they've never had the numbers to prove it. Now they do

Peticin para salvar la Escuela de Primaria Phillis Wheatley NUEVA ORLEANS- EEUU
En nombre de DOCOMOMO US/ Luisiana les solicito que consideren firmar una peticin en lnea para salvar la histrica
moderna Escuela Elemental Philips Wheatley la cual amenaza ser demolida. Esta peticin fue iniciada por Phyllis MontanaLeblanc,, PML quin habl de forma apasionada en una vista pblica el viernes ante la Historic District Landmarks Commission
en defensa de su alma mater, Si arrasis mi escuela, una parte de m muere con ella.
Desafortunadamente, nos hemos enterado de que no habr una revisin ante el Consejo Municipal y una peticin de propuesta
se ha puesto en marcha para la demolicin. Aparentemente y puesto que se trata de una demolicin iniciativa de la ciudad
para destruir un edificio que pertenece a la misma ciudad, el Consejo Municipal no tiene por qu revisar la peticin de
demolicin. No obstante, seguimos insistiendo en hacer un llamamiento para conservar la Escuela Wheatley que se incluy en
la lista World Monuments Fund Watch en 2010.
Esperamos obtener ms de 2.000 firmas y presentar la peticin ante el alcalde Landrieu y el Consejo Municipal.

AD Classics: Herbert F. Johnson Museum of Art, Cornell University / I.M. Pei 1973 - ITHACA - NEW YORK STATE - USA
With a desire to make a dramatic statement while maintaining an optimal amount of
scenic views, transparent open spaces and windows beautifully contrast the heaviness
and boldness of the rectangular forms of concrete.
Located atop a 1,000-foot slope that overlooks Lake Cayuga in Ithaca, the museum
was designed by I.M. Pei and John L. Sullivan, with additional help from the firm Pei
Cobb Freed & Partners. The museum totals 61,000 square feet, with nine floors
stacked high above the ground, housing the exhibit spaces. One floor rests underground, where additional galleries and
meeting rooms are found. Through stacking the program instead of spreading it out over the lot, the architects were able
to perserve much of the surrounding landscape and views.

AD Round Up: Classics Part III - A selection
AD Classics: MIT Baker House Dormitory / Alvar Aalto
Alvar Aalto designed the Baker House in 1946 while he was a professor at the Massachussets Institute of Technology,
where the dormitory is located. It received its name in 1950, after the MITs Dean of Students Everett Moore Baker was
killed in an airplane crash that year. The dormitory is a curving snake slithering on its site and reflects many of Aaltos
ideas of formal strategy, making it a dormitory that is both inhabited and studied by students from all over the world (read

Seventy-Two Years After the Nazis Arrived, Restored Renaissance Synagogue to Reopen in ZAMOSC - Poland
One of the most important surviving synagogues in Poland, a Renaissance gem looted by the Nazis and suffering from
decades of neglect, is reopening this week after a meticulous restoration, part of an effort to reclaim the country's
decimated Jewish heritage.
The refurbishing of the synagogue in Zamosc, an eastern Polish town near the border with Ukraine, comes as Poland's tiny
remaining Jewish community is struggling to preserve some of the most important Jewish sites that survived the Holocaust
before they fall into irreversible decay.
But in a sign of how thorough Adolf Hitler's genocide was, there are almost no Jews left in the town. The cream-colored
house of prayer will now serve largely as a place for art exhibitions, concerts and other cultural events in the largely
Catholic area.
A New Student Learning Centre for Ryerson University by Snhetta and ZRPA Toronto - Ontario - Canada

glass skin that will provide varying light qualities within the interior spaces. Sustainable
practices have also been incorporated into the design with 50% of the roof intended to
act as a green roof and plans for the building to be LEED Silver compliant. Construction
on the building is expected to begin late this year, with a targeted completion date of Winter 2014.

Herzog de Meuron's Triangle Tower Design Raises Eyebrows in Paris - France
The 590ft (180m) proposed Herzog de Meuron design labeled Triangle Tower, has been in the
spotlight over recent weeks after the cross-party council approved the towers protocol agreement.
Opposing the recent approval, Green party members are eager to share their thoughts commenting
that the colossal project is yet another office block according to party member Yves Contassot.
The controversy over the 40-story steel and glass building surely was anticipated; the French capital
has had a 30+ year drought of buildings over 121ft. In 1977 a ban was put into place, shortly after
the completion of the 689ft Tour Montparnasse, because Parisians feared that the city center would
lose its existing urban fabric to skyscrapers similar to the Montparnasse.

Hairy House / Ashworth Parkes Architects - 2008 to 09 - Cambridge - United Kingdom
The site is very small measuring 7.5 metres wide by 10.5 metres deep, and is flanked by 3 metre high walls to the East
and the North, and a 2 metre high wall to the West. The new house was not allowed to rise higher than the eaves of the
house next door to the North. We were only allowed 1 metre squared of obscured window on the Southern elevation, no
windows above the top of the wall on the Western elevation and 1 metre squared of window on the Northern elevation. We
had to set the building back from the road, decreasing the usable space on the site even further.

ENERGY EFFICIENCY AND HISTORIC BUILDINGS - English Heritage
Application of part L of the Building Regulations to historic and traditionally constructed buildings.
November 2010
The guidance has been produced to help prevent conflicts between energy efficiency requirements in Part L
of the Building Regulations and the conservation of historic and traditionally constructed buildings. Much of
the advice will also be relevant where thermal upgrading is planned without the specific need to comply
with these regulations.
This advice also acts as second tier supporting guidance in the interpretation of the Building Regulations
(referred to in paragraph 3.10 of the Approved Documents) that should be taken into account when determining
appropriate energy performance standards for works to historic buildings.
This guidance supersedes English Heritages previous publication Building Regulations and Historic Buildings an interim
guidance note on the application of part L which was prepared in support of the 2002 Regulations (revised in 2004).

Le Corbusier, Homme de Lettres
Author: M. Christine Boyer
ISBN-13: 978-156-898-980-8
On his French identity card, legendary architect Le Corbusier listed his profession as "Homme de
Lettres" (Man of Letters). Celebrated for his architecture, which numbers fewer than sixty buildings, Le
Corbusier also wrote more than fifty books, hundreds of articles, and thousands of letters. Le Corbusier,
Homme de Lettres is the first in-depth study of Le Corbusier as a writer as well as an architect. Featuring
more than two hundred archival images from Le Corbusier's life and work, this groundbreaking book
examines his many writing projects from 1907 to 1947, as well as his letters written to two mentors: Charles L'Eplattenier
and William Ritter. In Le Corbusier, Homme de Lettres author M. Christine Boyer focuses on the development of his writing
style as it morphed from romantic prose to aphorisms and telegraphic bulletins. For each of his books, Le Corbusier was
meticulous about the design of the page layout, the form of the type, the impact of the ideas, and even the promotional
material. As a man of letters, Le Corbusier expected to contribute to the cultural atmosphere of the twentieth century. Le
Corbusier, Homme de Lettres shows for the first time how his voluminous output books, diaries, letters, sketchbooks,

souffle . D'o l'intrt de ce livre, o Gustave Massiah, l'un de ses acteurs majeurs depuis de longues annes,
montre la fois les multiples facettes, souvent mconnues, d'une nbuleuse particulirement dynamique et propose des axes

Time Honored, A Global View of Architectural Conservation; Parameters, Theory & Evolution of
an Ethos
By John H. Stubbs
ISBN: 978-0-470-26049-4
February 2009
Imagine the world without the Parthenon, Notre Dame, the Wailing Wall, the Taj Mahal, the Forbidden
City, Machu Picchu, or other iconic buildings, monuments, and places. What if the more impressive historic
buildings and sites we encounter in our everyday lives disappeared? Civilization would simply not exist as
we know it.
Fortunately, awareness of the importance of protecting the worlds cultural patrimonyin particular, its architectural
heritageis at an all-time high and is growing. Time Honored, A Global View of Architectural Conservation explores the
reasons for this phenomenon, explains how international architectural heritage conservation practice operates, and
considers where this firmly rooted global interest may lead

From Bangkok to Durban: Time to act on Cancun deal
The first round of UN climate change negotiations since the Cancun summit in December, being
held in Bangkok from April 3-8, will start on the work plan agreed at Cancun for 2011. The aim
of the meeting is to build on the Cancun agreements and to work towards establishing a new
global climate change regime, to complement or replace the Kyoto Protocol, whose first
commitment period expires in late 2012.

Urgent action needed to protect Earth's blue carbon such as mangroves,
seagrasses and tidal marshes
The destruction of coastal carbon ecosystems, such as mangroves, seagrasses and tidal
marshes, is leading to rapid and long-lasting emissions of CO2 into the ocean and
atmosphere, according to 32 of the worlds leading marine scientists.
That key conclusion highlights a series of warnings and recommendations developed by the
new International Working Group on Coastal Blue Carbon, which convened its first meeting
in Paris last month. The Working Group was created as an initial step in advancing the
scientific, management and policy goals of the Blue Carbon Initiative, whose founding members include Conservation
International (CI), the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), and the Intergovernmental Oceanographic
Commission (IOC) of UNESCO.

El objetivo de la Unin Europea de limitar el calentamiento global es casi imposible, afirman los investigadores
Los negociadores internacionales en una conferencia promovida por Naciones Unidas sobre clima y que termina hoy en
Bangkok han subrayado reiteradamente el objetivo de mantener el calentamiento global de este siglo no ms de 2 grados.
Pero los resultados de un estudio sobre el clima del gobierno canadiense y publicado el mes pasado sugieren que es
posible que el calentamiento global se limite al objetivo de 2 grados, afirman los cientficos que realizaron este estudio.
En el estudio, cientficos de Environment Canada, una agencia gubernamental, simularon en su modelo varios escenarios de
concentraciones de gas efecto invernadero hasta el ao 2100. En esta situacin con las mayores concentraciones de carbono,
la concentracin de C02 en la atmsfera subi alarmantemente de su nivel actual, cerca de 390 partes por milln, a 920, y la
temperatura global y terrestre subi 4,9 grados ms que los niveles de 2005. Pero incluso en una situacin en la cual las
reducciones de emisiones hicieron que los niveles de CO2 subieran a 450 ppm en 2050, las temperaturas subieron 2,3
grados centgrados al final del siglo, 2C ms que los marcados en el objetivo.

Degraded coastal wetlands contribute to climate change
Drainage and degradation of coastal wetlands emit significant amounts of carbon dioxide
directly to the atmosphere and lead to decreased carbon sequestration, a new report has found.
The report, written in partnership with the World Bank, International Union for Conservation of
Nature (IUCN) and wetland specialists ESA PWA, calls for coastal wetlands to be protected and
incentives for avoiding their degradation and improving their restoration to be included into
carbon emission reduction strategies and in climate negotiations.

Les sciences du climat font lobjet dune mdiatisation et dune instrumentalisation politique extraordinaires.
Mais la question qui ressort aujourdhui est : que savons-nous vraiment ? Que pouvons-nous affirmer et sur
quoi doutons-nous ? Question subsidiaire : les scientifiques nous disent-ils la vrit ?
Les chercheurs sont des sceptiques professionnels. La rigueur scientifique repose sur la vrification des

Las excavaciones de Marden Henge revelan un edificio ceremonial (Reino Unido)
Arquelogos de English Heritage descubrieron una construccin ceremonial de 4500 aos de antigedad.
Este descubrimiento tuvo lugar durante unas excavaciones recientes, que duraron ms de seis semanas, en Marden Henge,
uno de los monumentos prehistricos ms importantes de Gran Bretaa, pero tambin el peor comprendido.
La estructura se descubri en el emplazamiento de un pequeo henge, desconocido hasta entonces, en los alrededores del
famoso Marden Henge; se trata de uno de los edificios neolticos mejor conservados de Gran Bretaa al margen de los
Orkneys.
En equilibrio precario en la cumbre de un talud, y con una apertura a la derecha sobre la pendiente hacia la zanja interna,
parece ser una eleccin poco probable para un hbitat. Sin embargo, pudo ser un emplazamiento privilegiado para ofrecer
una vista hacia el interior del henge, con el fin de observar las actividades en su centro.

possde une entre de 110 cm de long et 60 cm de large menant une petite pice entoure de
cinq chambres comprenant trois tombes chacune.
Les tombes ont une longueur de 175 cm, une profondeur de 40 cm et elles sont spares par
un espace de 25 cm.
Ce sont donc 15 tombes qui ont t dcouvertes dans la spulture.
Certaines des tombes contenaient plus d'un cercueil recouvert de panneaux de briques, tandis que d'autres taient
recouverts de pierres de basalte non tailles.

Roman Roads not Roman after all? - Tarmac's Bayston Hill quarry. Shropshire (United Kingdom)
A discovery at Tarmac's Bayston Hill quarry in Shropshire has thrown into question the belief that Roman invaders
introduced roads to Britain.
Excavations carried out by environmental consultants SLR at the site suggest that the Romans may have made use of
existing roads engineered by Iron Age Britons.
The find shows that a metalled and cambered roadway, was constructed in the first century BC - a 100 years before the
Emperor Claudius sent troops to conquer Britain.

Slovenia
DOCOMOMO is an acronym for DOcumentation and COnservation of the MOdern MOvement. Docomomo International is an
international not-for-profit organisation that documents and preserves architecture of the Modern Movement. It strives to
raise awareness regarding Modernist architecture by running an international register, organising campaigns, conferences,
exhibitions, education and publicity. It brings together experts from diverse professions: architects, art historians,
conservationists, sociologists, urban planners, landscape architects and others involved in preservation. The organisation is
composed of four specialised groups: Register, Technology, Urbanism and Landscape Architecture, and Education and
Theory. It was founded by architects Hubert-Jan Henket and Wessel de Jonge from the Department of Architecture at the
Eindhoven University of Technology in 1990. The Netherlands is also home to the present assembly centre of the Modernist
architecture register in NAi. The two architects ran the organisation until 2002, when its seat was transferred to Paris, and
the management taken over by Italian architect and professor Maristella Casciato. In 2010, the seat was once again
moved, this time to Barcelona, where the organisation is now run by Portuguese architect and professor Ana Tstoes.
Docomomo is under the patronage of the Mies van der Rohe Foundation. Today, it consists of over 50 satellite units across

Los humanos ms modernos procedan del sur de frica, sugiere un
estudio
Un estudio gentico de grupos nmadas africanos sugiere que los humanos ms
modernos evolucionaron desde el sur de frica, en lugar de proceder del este
como sugera un estudio previo, segn han informado cientficos este mes.
El equipo, dirigido por Brenna Henn de la Universidad de Stanford California, ha
llevado a cabo el estudio gentico de mayor envergadura sobre los cazadores
nmadas que vivan en frica hasta el momento. Tambin compararon el ADN con
muestras de otras poblaciones africanas y europeas.
Analizaron polimorfismos de nucleotidos simples (SNP), que constituyen pequeas variaciones de secuencia de ADN entre
grupos de gente. Los SNPs pueden ayudar a enfatizar las relaciones gentica,s la divergencia evolutiva e incluso
enfermedades.
Los resultados revelaron que los bosquimanos de Namibia y Khomani del sur de frica, los pigmeos Biaka de frica central y
los Sandawe del frica oriental, son los que presentan los niveles ms altos de diversidad gentica en el mundo, dice un
equipo.
La diversidad gentica es un indicador de la antigedad de los pueblos. En principio, cuando ms antigua la poblacin, ms
tiempo ha tenido para construir su diversidad.
Utilizando informacin gentica y localizaciones geogrficas de los grupos de cazadores nmadas, el equipo dedujo que el
origen de los humanos modernos, el Homo sapiens, se sita en el frica del Sur.

New Australian history and heritage website launched in Adelaide, South Australia (Australia)
Co-editors Brian Dickey and Susan Marsden have great pleasure in announcing a new Australian history website, recently
launched in Adelaide on the 30th anniversary of the formation of the Professional Historians Association (South Australia).
The SA 175/Celebrating South Australia website has been created by the Professional Historians Association (SA) [PHA
(SA)] to celebrate the 175th anniversary of the establishment of South Australia in 2011. It comprises many hundreds of
entries written by members of the PHA (SA) over more than 30 years. Many of these entries and images have never
appeared in public before, while others are reproduced because the original item is now out of print or not otherwise
digitised. Some entries are newly-written. All are focussed on the history and heritage of South Australia. They vary in
length from paragraph entries to substantial essays, chapters and reports, and they include On this day entries for every
day of the year.
This has been a great collaborative undertaking of two years in the making, and further articles and images will be
uploaded as members provide them.

La 'Ata du Maroc - Festival de l'Imaginaire - Institut du monde arabe - Paris - France (9 avril 2011)
Al-Ata signifie littralement, lappel, le cri : cet appel, cest celui qui est fait aux anctres pour quils sment le courage dans le
cur des hommes ; cest aussi linvocation de linspiration potique et musicale. Genre musical traditionnel trs ancien, Al-Ata se
rattache principalement aux tribus dorigine arabe arrives au Maroc au dbut de la domination des Almohades, au XIIe sicle.
cho des joies et des peines quotidiennes, populaire et pleine de vie, Al-Ata est un art de tradition orale qui a su faire siens
les thmes de la beaut, du plaisir et de lamour. Longtemps incomprise et rejete en raison, notamment, de ses connotations
parfois rotiques, ce genre est aujourdhui considr comme lun des trsors de la mmoire collective.

Malaysia Christians to Preserve Five Thousand Bibles 'Defaced' by Authorities as museum pieces
Five thousand Bibles that were defaced by authorities will be preserved as "museum pieces" at Malaysian churches, a
reminder of problems encountered by Christians in this Muslim-majority country, officials said Thursday.
The announcement is the latest twist in a dispute between Christians and the government over tens of thousands of
imported Bibles seized by Malaysian customs authorities, some since early 2009. The books violate a government ban on
non-Muslim texts that use the word "Allah" as a translation for God.
After Christian leaders voiced anger over the detention of the Bibles, the government agreed earlier this month to release
them, but stamped many with serial numbers and government seals that stated they were meant "for Christians only."

Power Structure at El Tajin Revealed: City was Not Governed by One Single Person
- Mexico
New hypotheses about the last stage and government of El Tajin civilization point out to a
rule that was not exclusive of one person but of several, as announced in a conference series
organized by the National Institute of Anthropology and History (INAH).
According to studies performed at the Veracruz archaeological zone by Dr Arturo Pascual,
from the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM), El Tajin experimented in its last
stage intense transformations in its government and ideology that were captured in its
architecture and iconography.
In this sense, near 800-850 AD, the ancient Mesoamerican city suffered a profound change in its government after the
accession of a new group of a lineage linked to the figure of 13 Rabbit, depicted at the Edificio de las Columnas pillars.
At the reliefs, characters with the same calendar name are represented at the western portico (dated between 800-850
AD) and at the eastern one (900-950 AD).
Hundreds of British Arts Organizations Feel the Sting of Government's Funding Cuts - United Kingdom
Hundreds of British arts organizations had their public funding slashed or eliminated Wednesday, the result of government
spending cuts aimed at tackling the country's deficit.
The Arts Council England must cut 15 percent from the amount it gives to art, music, theater, dance, literature and other
groups by 2015 which still leaves it with almost 1 billion pounds ($1.6 billion) to hand out.
The council said that instead of "salami slicing" cutting 15 percent from everyone it wanted to create a smaller but stronger
portfolio of groups. So some have been cut off entirely, while others have seen their funding increase.
"We have taken the brave path of strategic choices, not salami slices, which has meant some painful decisions," said
council chair Liz Forgan.

Jordan Wants to Retrieve Major Christian Relics
Jordan's archaeology chief says he has a solid legal case to press for the return of 70 ancient lead books stolen and
smuggled into Israel
Ziad al-Saad says the relics could be the earliest Christian writing in existence.
If authenticated, he says they would be the most significant find in Christian archaeology since the discovery of the Dead
Sea Scrolls in 1947.
He says there is strong evidence that the material was excavated in a northern cave by a Jordanian Bedouin five years
ago. But they made their way into the hands of an Israeli Bedouin.
He said Sunday that initial carbon and metallurgy tests performed by British experts date the material, depicting messianic
symbols and written in archaic Hebrew, to the 1st century A.D.

FELLOWSHIPS - Global Heritage Fund Preservation Fellowship Program - Supporting Preservation Projects in
the Developing World. Deadline for applications: 30 April 2011
The purpose of the Global Heritage Preservation Fellowship Program is to support cultural heritage conservation and
community development work with the potential for significant contributions to the long-term preservation of endangered
cultural heritage sites in developing countries by international and in-country scholars and students. We feel strongly that
by supporting this generation in their preservation efforts and education we can help to secure endangered sites for future
generations.
Global Heritage Fund (GHF) supports one-year projects in the disciplines of archaeological conservation, historic
preservation, heritage management, conservation science, site management planning, GIS and mapping, and sustainable
tourism and community development. GHF encourages interdisciplinary and collaborative projects, especially those that
combine disciplines in novel and potentially productive ways focused on best practices in preservation of endangered
cultural heritage sites in developing countries.
Other qualifications being equal, preference is given to candidates whose projects have the greatest likelihood of having
long-term conservation and community benefits for endangered global heritage sites in developing countries. Preference is
also given to projects at Inscribed or Tentative List World Heritage Sites, although in exceptional circumstances a site with
a demonstrated potential for World Heritage Site inscription will be considered.
Awards will be approximately $2,000, and grantees will receive half (50%) of the award prior to the field season and half
(50%) upon acceptance of the Final Report.

Aomori Museum of Art / Jun Aoki & Associates - 2006 - Aomori - Japan
Aomori Museum of Art is situated next to an excavation site of the Sannai Maruyama ruins. These ruins are widely
respected as an important heritage of the Jomon period (10,000 300 BC), not only since the established theory, agriculture
had not yet been developed was abandoned because planned cultivation, such as chestnut, was revealed. But also because
the community already systematized their agricultural methods which could be seen by the hugeness of the colony scale.
Using this cultural heritage as the core element, Aomori Prefecture decided to forge a basis of art culture and determined
its beginning in building an art museum on the spot which directly adjoins the ruins.

Paradise Preserved: Updated list of cemeteries included in English Heritage's Register of Parks
and Gardens of Special Historic Interest (January 2011) and the register criteria
Since the publication of Paradise Preserved in 2007, English Heritage has reviewed the grades of the
registered cemeteries and also added several more cemeteries to the Register of Parks and Gardens of
Special Historic Interest in England. An updated list of registered cemeteries and the registration criteria is
provided in this leaflet.
The purpose of the Register is to celebrate designed landscapes of note and encourage appropriate
protection. It is hoped that, by drawing attention to cemeteries in this way, there will be greater
awareness of their value and that these very special places will be treated with care.

Rivista online - Centro Universitario Europeo per i Beni Culturali di Ravello: Territori della
Cultura, n3, 2011
All'inizio degli anni ottanta l'Europa unita, malgrado ricorrenti solenni dichiarazioni, era soltanto il sogno
di pochi idealisti.
Gi da allora per, andava diffondendosi la convinzione della necessit di una formazione europeistica della
nuova classe dirigente: in particolare si riteneva che ai giovani dovessero proporsi le dimensioni e le
prospettive di un'Europa che non fosse solo un compendio di storie, magari gloriose ma particolari, e
neppure un insieme di Stati, ognuno autonomo ed emulo degli altri, ma una Patria comune.

The Getty Conservation Institute (GCI) - Assessment Report on Shuxiang Temple, Chengde,
rev. Sept. 2009
The assessment of Shuxiang Temple was undertaken by the Chengde Cultural Heritage Bureau, Hebei
Cultural Heritage Bureau, and the Getty Conservation Institute in 2003-04, resulting in a preliminary
report.
The report was reviewed and discussed at an Expert Committee meeting held in Chengde in November
2004. Based on the recommendations of the Expert Committee and the need for additional information,
the report was revised in 2005 and prepared for printing in early 2006.
In the collaboration with the site of Chengde, it was felt important to focus on conservation of traditional Chinese
architecture as a different cultural heritage category to wall painting conservation being undertaken at the Mogao Grottoes
of Dunhuang. The purpose of this diversity of heritage conservation work is to demonstrate the universal applicability of
the China Principles methodology, a new approach in the history of conservation and management of cultural sites in
China.

ISBN: 978-0-89236-492-3
Year: 1998
In this Spanish-language volume, twenty international authorities in stained-glass conservation and related
fields address the history, aesthetics, and conservation of stained glass. The book presents the results of
an international seminar on the conservation of stained glass, held in Spain in July 1994. Among the

Larry Halprin naci en unos de los periodos ms sangrientos de la

Este fue un periodo, entre las guerras mundiales, en el que mucha

del momento. El socialismo, el comunismo, y el fascismo eran las
ideologas polticas que competan con el capitalismo econmico

Transforming Landscapes Exposition / Reiulf Ramstad Architects - Oslo - Norway
(15 April 2011)
Reiulf Ramstad Architects will be hosting an exhibition that aims to explore the questions of
this century that deal with the tension between local and global conditions of the natural and
the artificial, between cyberspace and realspace, and between stillness and change. Their
ambition is to create a contemporary architecture-based analysis of the site, from which
emerges a sensitive interpretation of these conditions, paving the way for architectural design.
Based on the uniqueness of each context, RRA hopes to establish a carefully chosen set of
materials and spatial distribution characterized by each place and the intervention. Their projects are characterized by
forms and innovative tectonic stress of a spatial continuity between exterior and interior landscapes.

The Sacred Landscape of Ancient Ireland - Evidence from both excavations and
rare manuscripts reveal much about early Ireland's cosmology and its people's
deep connection to the land
Tara near the midpoint of the north-south line connecting Emain Macha and Dn Ailinne. The
significance of this arrangement is still unknown, but it is notable. Archaeological work
shows that early activity at these sites may have had to do with burials, and that these
enclosures were constructed during the Iron Age. Surprisingly, none of them are suitable for
defense. Instead, each seems to mark off an area that only makes sense if viewed as sacred

Paradise Preserved: Updated list of cemeteries included in English Heritage's Register of Parks
and Gardens of Special Historic Interest (January 2011) and the register criteria
Since the publication of Paradise Preserved in 2007, English Heritage has reviewed the grades of the
registered cemeteries and also added several more cemeteries to the Register of Parks and Gardens of
Special Historic Interest in England. An updated list of registered cemeteries and the registration criteria is
provided in this leaflet.
The purpose of the Register is to celebrate designed landscapes of note and encourage appropriate
protection. It is hoped that, by drawing attention to cemeteries in this way, there will be greater
awareness of their value and that these very special places will be treated with care.

democratica e antifascista.
Il progetto, che vanta le collaborazioni con la BCC Cassa Padana, la Fondazione Dominato Leonense e il Consorzio
Cooperativo Finanziario per lo Sviluppo CCFS, intende realizzare una piattaforma digitale che rappresenti per la base

ampio pubblico: testimonianze, mediateche e gallerie iconografiche, documenti e collezioni di memorie organizzate sul web
in maniera tale da consentire agli utenti di navigare tra le risorse come se si camminasse in un museo tra i membri e le
esperienze di una comunit estesa.
La fase pilota del progetto prevede il coinvolgimento di circa 12 dei 150 soci complessivi dell'Istituto e, data la complessit
tecnica e la mole dei contenuti che memorieincammino.it si propone di sistematizzare, il rilascio online del portale previsto
per settembre/ottobre di quest'anno.
Il sito in costruzione, gli aggiornamenti, i contatti e il trailer-video del progetto sono gi disponibili su www.
memorieincammino.it, mentre gioved 31 marzo sar possibile vedere in anteprima la versione sperimentale del portale nel
corso della presentazione del progetto: un incontro dedicato a tutti i soci, e non solo, nel quale interverranno i principali
enti, da Rossella Cantoni (Presidente dell'Istituto A. Cervi), a Luigi Pettinati (Direttore BCC Cassa Padana), a Vittorio
Biemmi (Presidente Fondazione Dominato Leonense).

Audio of Dwight D. Eisenhower Speech Found - Metropolitan Museum. New York,
New York State (USA)
As commander of Allied forces in Europe during World War II, Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower
explicitly ordered his troops to safeguard objects of cultural and historical importance
whenever possible even while fighting a war of devastating destructiveness. Now, historians
can hear the reasoning behind Eisenhower's order, in his own words, thanks to the recent
recovery of a recording of a speech he gave on April 2, 1946, at New York's Metropolitan
Museum of Art.
Digging through museum archives, Robert Edsel, founder of an arts preservation organization based in Dallas, discovered
the recording of Eisenhower's speech that the general delivered when he was honored with a life fellowship from the
museum.
Transcripts of the speech have long been available. But, "when you have Gen. Eisenhower saying it and when you hear his
words, it's electrifying," said Edsel, whose nonprofit, the Monuments Men Foundation, honors those who helped protect the
cultural treasures in Europe during World War II.

Recently Rediscovered Books Plundered by the Nazis Returned to Jewish
Community - Berlin, Germany
Recently rediscovered books plundered by the Nazis more than six decades ago were
returned to Berlin's Jewish community on Wednesday in a ceremony at the city's landmark
synagogue.
The Berlin Central and Regional Library formally handed over 10 books and three journal
volumes discovered among more than 200,000 volumes being examined by researchers as
part of a project to establish their origin, with a focus on restitution.
One of the books is from noted author Gotthold Ephraim Lessing and dates back to 1890. There is also a travel guide to
Palestine from 1934 and a book on Jewish history "from the destruction of the First Temple to the present," that was
published in 1913. All are in German.
Though experts say none of the books have significant monetary value, they offer a sobering glimpse of the country's
history.

First Batch of Korean Royal Books Looted by French Military 145 Years Ago Return
Home from Bibliothque nationale de France (BNF)
The first batch of Korean royal books looted by the French military 145 years ago returned
home Thursday.
French troops took away hundreds of Korean manuscripts and set fire to 5,000 more when
they raided a royal library in 1866 on an island off Korea's west coast. After about 20 years
of negotiations, France agreed last year to return the books on a "renewable lease" in line
with French law, South Korean officials say.
The books detail protocol for royal funerals, weddings and other ceremonies during the Joseon Dynasty, which ruled Korea
from 1392 to 1910.
The lease means the books' "virtual return" to South Korea as French law allows cultural assets taken out of the country
only temporarily, South Korea's Culture Ministry said in a statement.

The Man Who Broke into Auschwitz
Authors: Denis Avey and Rob Broomby
ISBN-13: 978-1444714166
This book is the extraordinary true story of a British soldier who marched willingly into BunaMonowitz, the concentration camp known as Auschwitz III.
In the summer of 1944, Denis Avey was being held in a POW labour camp, E715, near Auschwitz III.
He had heard of the brutality meted out to the prisoners there and he was determined to witness
what he could.
He hatched a plan to swap places with a Jewish inmate and smuggled himself into his sector of the camp. He spent the
night there on two occasions and experienced at first-hand the cruelty of a place where slave workers, had been sentenced
to death through labour.
Astonishingly, he survived to witness the aftermath of the Death March where thousands of prisoners were murdered by
the Nazis as the Soviet Army advanced. After his own long trek right across central Europe he was repatriated to Britain.
For decades he couldn't bring himself to revisit the past that haunted his dreams, but now Denis Avey feels able to tell the
full story - a tale as gripping as it is moving - which offers us a unique insight into the mind of an ordinary man whose
moral and physical courage are almost beyond belief.

Program of Excellence for Education and Research in South countries (PEERS)
The Programme of Excellence for Education and Research in South countries (PEERS) is one of the capacity building
programs implemented by the IRD - in his dual role as an operator for research and as an agency (Inter-Establishment
Agency for Research for Development - IARD).
As part of its mission of building individual and collective research, training and innovation in developing countries, IARD
supports the scientific communities of developing countries in their request for independence and international recognition,
and in the development of collaborative networks and synergies among North and South scientific communities. In this
context, the PEERS program - former program 'Chaires Croises- was launched by the IRD in 2007 to support the set up or
the strengthening of partnership projects between two high level professors (and / or researchers), one from the North,
one from the South in the field of research for development, training and / or innovation and dissemination. The PEERS
program particularly encourages the involvement of French and European research professors in research activities and
training in the developing countries.

Development in the Donau-Auen National Park? - Austria
One of the two free-flowing sections of the river in Austria is between Vienna and the
Austrian border with Slovakia. The largest connected floodplain forest on the upper Danube
is located here. Decisions made here in the planning of navigation projects could have a
"domino effect" on the entire Danube.
The project is located on the Danube section between the Freudeneu hydropower station
next to Vienna and the Austrian-Slovakian border, amounting to 48 km in length. It is within
the boundaries of the Donau-Auen National Park, which is also a biosphere reserve, a

Le US Forest Service - USFS - propose une suite logicielle gratuite aux responsables territoriaux pour valuer la valeur des
forts urbaines et des arbres. Quand vient le temps aux lus municipaux de dcider dinvestir, le poids des chiffres peut faire
pencher la balance favorablement du cot des arbres quand on peut dmontrer leur valeur.
En termes conomiques cela se traduit en valeur de la matire ligneuse videmment mais aussi en tonnes de CO2 absorbes,
en polluants neutraliss, en eau retenue, en rafrachissement atmosphrique, en impact olien, etc.
En fait, les forts urbaines peuvent tre considres comme faisant partie des infrastructures de la collectivit aussi bien que les
routes, les aqueducs ou les rseaux de transport d'nergie. Et comme toute infrastructure de valeur, il convient de la
connatre et de la grer positivement.

Un sisme de magnitude 9.1 est survenu l'Est des ctes de l'le principale du Japon, vendredi 11 mars 2011, 14h46 heure
locale (6h46 heure franaise - 5h46 TU). Retrouvez sur cette page les points de situation dits par le BRGM.
Le sisme survenu le 11 mars est le plus fort jamais enregistr au Japon. Il a t prcd d'une squence de sismes dont le
principal a eu une magnitude de 7.2 (le 9 mars), et suivi par un tsunami.
Ces vnements se sont produits dans un contexte tectonique complexe et trs actif : une zone de subduction. Dans un tel
contexte, cause du plongement d'une plaque ocanique sous une autre plaque tectonique (ici portant l'le d'Honshu), un
certain nombre de failles peuvent induire des sismes. Les plus importants, tel que celui du 11 mars, se produisent au
niveau de la zone de contact entre les deux plaques.
L'USGS estime que le long de la faille rompue, la plaque Pacifique a plong localement de 17m sous l'le d'Honshu.

Une nouvelle zone de subduction pourrait natre en Mditerrane
Selon les gologues, la plaque tectonique europenne a commenc passer sous la plaque africaine. Un
phnomne qui pourrait conduire la naissance d'une nouvelle zone de subduction en Mditerrane.
Depuis des millions d'annes, le front nord de la plaque tectonique africaine descendait sous celle de
l'Europe. Mais le phnomne pourrait bien tre en train de s'inverser. C'est ce qu'ont annonc la semaine
dernire des gologues au meeting de l'European Geoscience Union (EGU). Alors que les continents
poursuivent leur convergence, il semblerait ainsi que ce soit cette fois-ci au tour de l'Europe de glisser
sous la plaque africaine. Un phnomne qui donnerait naissance un vnement gologique rare, la naissance
d'une nouvelle zone de subduction dans la rgion mditerranenne.

Surprising Discovery of Sharp-Toothed Fossil Links Old and New Dinosaurs - Smithsonian National Museum of
Natural History - Washington D.C. (USA)
The surprising discovery of a fossil of a sharp-toothed beast that lurked in what is now the western U.S. more than 200
million years ago is filling a gap in dinosaur evolution.
The short snout and slanting front teeth of the find Daemonosaurus chauliodus had never before been seen in a Triassic
era dinosaur, said Hans-Dieter Sues of the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History. Sues and colleagues report
the discovery in Wednesday's edition of the British journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B.
Sues, curator of vertebrate paleontology at the museum, said the discovery helps fill the evolutionary gap between the
dinosaurs that lived in what is now Argentina and Brazil about 230 million years ago and the later theropods like the
famous Tyrannosaurus rex.
La clbre limite Crtac-Tertiaire plus ancienne qu'estime jusqu' prsent
En analysant par la mthode de la cyclostratigraphie des sries sdimentaires marines prleves dans les ocans Indien et
Atlantiques lors d'anciennes campagnes ocanographiques des programmes internationaux ODP et DSDP , une quipe de
chercheurs franais et amricains a pu dmontrer la corrlation des cycles sdimentaires avec les variations des paramtres
orbitaux de la Terre et dater la limite Crtac-Palogne, soit 65.590.07 Ma, soit 660.07 Ma. Cette deuxime proposition est plus
en accord avec les dernires donnes radiomtriques, ce qui recule dans le temps cette limite de 405 000 ans par rapport ce
qui est actuellement admis.

Coup de froid au temps des dinosaures
Les dinosaures n'ont pas toujours bnfici de tempratures clmentes. De nouveaux rsultats montrent
que durant une partie du Crtac infrieur, le nord-est de la Chine a t soumis un climat tempr avec des
hivers rigoureux. Cette dcouverte explique l'abondance de dinosaures plumes dans les gisements
fossiles de cette priode. Elle vient d'tre mise en vidence par une collaboration internationale

Forer au plus profond la crote du Pacifique : une mission co-dirige par le CNRS au
printemps 2011
Une quipe internationale, laquelle participent quatre chercheurs franais notamment du CNRS et de
l'Universit Paul Sabatier Toulouse , met le cap vers le Pacifique Est pour mener, du 13 avril au 3 juin
prochain, au large du Costa-Rica, une campagne de forage ocanique. Objectif de cette expdition :
atteindre, pour la premire fois, proximit d'une dorsale expansion ultra-rapide, les niveaux de gabbros
situs une profondeur d'environ 2 km sous le plancher ocanique. Disposer d'chantillons de ces roches
magmatiques, issues d'un refroidissement plus lent que les basaltes des fonds ocaniques, permettra
aux scientifiques de mieux connatre la structure de la crote et d'en tester les modles de formation dans ce contexte
spcifique de dorsale rapide. Ces chantillons claireront aussi le rle de l'eau de mer dans l'volution de la crote ocanique ainsi
que la contribution de la partie infrieure de cette corce aux anomalies magntiques marines. Fait remarquable : le dpart de
cette mission concide avec le 50me anniversaire du premier forage de la crote ocanique en avril 1961.

Getty Museum to Return Looted Painting Previously Owned by Jacques Goudstikker
- Los Angeles - California - USA
The J. Paul Getty Museum has agreed to return a 370-year-old painting that once belonged
to an art dealer who fled Holland when the Nazis invaded in 1940.
Jacques Goudstikker was the Netherlands' biggest art dealer in the 1930s. He was fleeing
the Nazis with his wife and young son at the beginning of World War II when he fell through
a trap door on an outbound ship and died.
His collection was looted, with some works claimed by Adolf Hitler chief deputy Hermann
Goering.
Goudstikker's daughter-in-law, Marei von Saher, has spent years trying to track down the works. Her successes have been
on tour around the country in an exhibition that ends Tuesday in San Francisco and featured 45 recovered pieces from the
collection.
The Getty bought the 1640 Pieter Molijn painting titled "Landscape With Cottage and Figures" in good faith at a 1972
auction, the museum said. The museum did not disclose the purchase price and has never displayed the painting.

Le renouveau des restitutions de biens culturels : les modes alternatifs de rglement des litiges
Marie Cornu. Directrice de recherche au CNRS, UMR 6224, Universit de Poitiers
Marc-Andr Renold, Professeur lUniversit de Genve, Avocat au Barreau de Genve
Les moyens alternatifs de rsolution de conflits en matire de biens culturels constituent une ressource importante pour
traiter des questions de restitution, de retour ou encore de rapatriement de biens culturels. Le prsent article a pour objectif
danalyser quelles sont les situations pouvant mener lutilisation de tels moyens plutt que des instruments judiciaires
classiques et dtudier les problmes qui peuvent se poser.
Ltude suit deux axes : le premier a pour objet lidentification des protagonistes ainsi que les techniques actuellement
mobilises dans la restitution ou le retour de biens culturels. Le second axe permet, dune part, de mettre en vidence la
nature des biens pouvant faire lobjet des types de rsolution de conflit dits alternatifs et, dautre part, de dresser une liste
des solutions, souvent originales, ayant dj t retenues en pratique.
Les modes alternatifs de rsolution de conflits permettent de prendre en considration nombre dlments extra-juridiques, de
nature parfois motionnelle ou relevant dun sentiment de lobligatoire qui accompagnent les parties sur le chemin du
consensus.

reperto del passato che dato in pasto ai turisti, cartolina vivente per il consumo visivo.
E perch non sfruttare in modo creativo questa metafora? Perch non cogliere la
dimensione esplorativa del museo per rendere vivo e presente il patrimonio cittadino?
In questa prospettiva possiamo visitare Genus Bononiae. Musei nella Citt, ossia come
una strategia attraverso la quale il centro storico di Bologna, presente nella World

Squares In Puigcerd / Pepe Gascn - 2008-2009 - Girona, Spain
Remodelling of the most central and relevant public space in Puigcerd, originally very much deteriorated,
with an excessive amount of traffic that diminished the civic and integrating potential of the space.
Traffic is eliminated, concentrating road and service communication on one side, freeing up a large central
space. Two large linear flowerbeds protect the pacified area from the bustle of traffic working as filters
between the two. A number of elements of street furniture simultaneously emphasise the physical and
visual limit of the squares themselves.

COMPETITIONS - Competition Entry for Galileum in Solingen / Ren van Zuuk
Architekten (Germany)
The Regional Industrial Heritage Organization of Solingen, Germany has called for a
competition to redevelop the local observation using an old spherical gas container in order to
address the strong industrial character and historical context of the container and the local
architecture. The following project is an entry from Ren van Zuuk Architekten. The site is
located on the edge of a residential area near a railroad, from which the steel spire of the old
gas container is visible. With a diameter of 26 metres the container has a frame of eleven
columns that rest on 3m high concrete foundations. The original design is pragmatic in its approach. A sphere was used as
the most efficient model with the largest surface area available to function at the lowest cost. The staircase was built with
the same functional consideration as the rest of the building and it follows that, to use the existing spherical structure, the
new design would have to be approached with the same rigor.

La 'Ata du Maroc - Festival de l'Imaginaire - Institut du monde arabe - Paris - France (9 avril 2011)
Al-Ata signifie littralement, lappel, le cri : cet appel, cest celui qui est fait aux anctres pour quils sment le courage dans le
cur des hommes ; cest aussi linvocation de linspiration potique et musicale. Genre musical traditionnel trs ancien, Al-Ata se
rattache principalement aux tribus dorigine arabe arrives au Maroc au dbut de la domination des Almohades, au XIIe sicle.
cho des joies et des peines quotidiennes, populaire et pleine de vie, Al-Ata est un art de tradition orale qui a su faire siens
les thmes de la beaut, du plaisir et de lamour. Longtemps incomprise et rejete en raison, notamment, de ses connotations
parfois rotiques, ce genre est aujourdhui considr comme lun des trsors de la mmoire collective.

Savoirs des femmes: mdecine traditionnelle et nature; Maurice, Runion, Rodrigues
Author: Pourchez, Laurence
ISBN: 978-92-3-204197-5
La Runion, Maurice et Rodrigues prsentent des traditions mdicinales uniques. Fruits d'un processus de
crolisation dont les origines sont multiples, ces usages sont indissociables de la nature dans laquelle ils
puisent. Ils constituent une cl privilgie pour comprendre des socits qui se situent dans une dialectique
constante entre tradition et modernit.
Ces les, initialement dsertes, ont t peuples partir de la fin du XVIIe sicle par des populations originaires
d'Europe, de Madagascar, d'Afrique, d'Inde et de Chine, voire de Polynsie ou d'Australie. Le dialogue entre les savoirs
mdicinaux propres chacune d'elles a permis la naissance d'un savoir commun, transmis en grande partie par les femmes.
Cet ouvrage met en lumire la connaissance qu'ont ces femmes des plantes mdicinales et des gestes mdicaux, notamment
ceux qui accompagnent la naissance. Il interroge galement la place des savoirs mdicinaux dans ces socits insulaires lheure
dune occidentalisation croissante et de certains replis identitaires.

Language May Have Helped Early Humans Spread Out of Africa
The story of humanity's prehistoric expansion across the planet is recorded in our genes. And,
apparently, the story of the spread of language is hidden in the sounds of our words. That's
the finding of a new study, which concludes that both people and languages spread out from an African homeland by a
similar processand that language may have been the cultural innovation that fueled our ancestors' momentous migrations

Archaeologists Investigate Iraqi Marshes for Origins of Mesopotamian Cities - Iraq
Three National Science Foundation-supported researchers recently undertook the first non-Iraqi archaeological
investigation of the Tigris-Euphrates delta in nearly 20 years. Archeologists Jennifer Pournelle and Carrie Hritz, with
geologist Jennifer Smith, carried out the study late last year to look for links between wetland resources and the
emergence of Mesopotamian cities.
"Mesopotamia"--Greek for "the land between the rivers"--is an area about 300 miles long and 150 miles wide straddling
the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, which now run through Iraq, northeastern Syria, southeastern Turkey and southwestern
Iran. It is broadly considered a cradle of civilization, because urban societies first developed there, about six thousand
years ago.
1st South Atlantic Biodiversity Meeting:Understanding deep-water biodiversity in the South Atlantic: options

The international expert meeting Understanding deep-water biodiversity in the South Atlantic: options for conservation and
sustainable use of resources in the high-seas will consolidate the main scientific findings collected during the South Atlantic
MAR-ECO field expedition, a collaborative effort involving scientists from Russia, Brazil, Uruguay and New Zealand. During
this 34-day expedition, a team of scientists acquired numerous pelagic and benthic samples over areas of the southern MidAtlantic Ridge and the Walvis Ridge. Scientific results emerging from preliminary analyses are already substantial and
expected to reveal significant results regarding deep water biodiversity of such poorly studied area.

Nazi Warplane, Thought to Be World's Last Known Example, Lying Off United Kingdom Coast is Intact
A World War Two era German Dornier 17 bomber is seen using high-tech sonar equipment, showing it to be largely intact
and well-preserved on the sea floor, in an undated photo off the Kent coast. A rare World War II German bomber shot
down over the English Channel, hidden for years by shifting sands at the bottom of the sea, is so well preserved a British
museum wants to raise it for its collection. The Dornier 17 warplane -- thought to be world's last known example -- was hit
on 26 August 1940 as it took part on a massive attack that became known as the Battle of Britain
Wartime German Bunker Discovered by Workers in Warsaw Laying a New Tram
Line - WARSAW - POLAND
Workers in Warsaw laying a new tram line have uncovered a German bunker dating back to
World War II, officials said Thursday.
The bunker was discovered in recent days at Plac Zbawiciela, or Savior's Square, a major
traffic hub in the Polish capital where tram tracks and the street are undergoing thorough
renovation.
City archaeologist Barbara Piotrowska said it was a surprise that such a massive concrete
and metal structure had remained hidden from view for many decades in the city center. She said it will require specialized
equipment and the shutting down of the tram power line for the bunker to be moved. It will then go to a museum.

Website available on Docomomo Slovenia / DOcumentation and COnservation of MOdern MOvement in
Slovenia
DOCOMOMO is an acronym for DOcumentation and COnservation of the MOdern MOvement. Docomomo International is an
international not-for-profit organisation that documents and preserves architecture of the Modern Movement. It strives to
raise awareness regarding Modernist architecture by running an international register, organising campaigns, conferences,
exhibitions, education and publicity. It brings together experts from diverse professions: architects, art historians,
conservationists, sociologists, urban planners, landscape architects and others involved in preservation. The organisation is
composed of four specialised groups: Register, Technology, Urbanism and Landscape Architecture, and Education and
Theory. It was founded by architects Hubert-Jan Henket and Wessel de Jonge from the Department of Architecture at the
Eindhoven University of Technology in 1990. The Netherlands is also home to the present assembly centre of the Modernist
architecture register in NAi. The two architects ran the organisation until 2002, when its seat was transferred to Paris, and
the management taken over by Italian architect and professor Maristella Casciato. In 2010, the seat was once again
moved, this time to Barcelona, where the organisation is now run by Portuguese architect and professor Ana Tstoes.
Docomomo is under the patronage of the Mies van der Rohe Foundation. Today, it consists of over 50 satellite units across
the world. www.docomomo.com

Video: Architecture Tour of Frank Lloyd Wright's Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum - New York - New York
State - USA
The Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum was the last major project designed and built by Frank Lloyd Wright between 1943
until it opened to the public in 1959, six months after his death, making it one of his longest works in creation along with
one of his most popular projects. Completely contrasting the strict Manhattan city grid, the organic curves of the museum
are a familiar landmark for both art lovers, visitors, and pedestrians alike.

Germany Relaxes Restrictions on Reichstag Visits - BERLIN - GERMANY
Germany's parliament says restrictions on visits to the cupola of its Reichstag building long a
Berlin tourist magnet will be relaxed later this month, but sightseers will have to register in
advance.
The Reichstag's glass cupola, British architect Norman Foster's popular 1990s addition to the
historic building, was closed to visitors last November after the Interior Ministry warned of
an increased terrorism threat in Germany and raised security levels.
It was subsequently reopened only to people on full tours of the parliament building or with
reservations at its rooftop restaurant.
Parliament's lower house said Wednesday that, starting April 21, visitors who only want to visit the cupola will be admitted
again. They will have to register at least two working days in advance.

This week our Architecture City Guide is headed to the city stars fall on. With a few
notable exceptions, one can hardly be called a starchitect if s/he hasnt designed
something in Minneapolis. Since 2005 the starchitects that have fallen on this City of
Lakes include Jean Nouvel, Herzog & de Mueron, Csar Pelli, Michael Graves, Steven Holl,
and Frank Gehry. This is a surprising number for a city just north of 380,000 people.
Few cities of this size could boast as much. Whats more our list of 12 is far from
complete. There are many wonderful historic and contemporary buildings mixed in with
the explosion of starchitecture. Please leave comments of buildings one should not miss when visiting Minneapolis.

In 2011 the Bayerische Staatsgemldesammlungen is marking the Alte Pinakotheks 175th anniversary with a wide range of
events. Opened to the public on 16 October, 1836, Leo von Klenzes seminal museum building today still provides the

A series of exhibitions during the jubilee year focuses on the history of the museum and its collection which is among the
most important in the world. To launch this series, from mid March the Bayerische Staatsgemldesammlungen welcomed a
hugely important guest, Johannes Vermeers Woman Holding a Balance. This masterpiece, now held in the National Gallery
of Art in Washington, once formed part of the exquisite private collection amassed by the first king of Bavaria, Max I
Joseph, who awaits rediscovery as a collector of Dutch paintings from the Golden Age. At the same time, the exhibition
Treasures from the Depot is being held in the North Cabinet Rooms where paintings that are seldom or have never been

Hundreds of British Arts Organizations Feel the Sting of Government's Funding Cuts - United Kingdom
Hundreds of British arts organizations had their public funding slashed or eliminated Wednesday, the result of government
spending cuts aimed at tackling the country's deficit.
The Arts Council England must cut 15 percent from the amount it gives to art, music, theater, dance, literature and other
groups by 2015 which still leaves it with almost 1 billion pounds ($1.6 billion) to hand out.
The council said that instead of "salami slicing" cutting 15 percent from everyone it wanted to create a smaller but stronger
portfolio of groups. So some have been cut off entirely, while others have seen their funding increase.
"We have taken the brave path of strategic choices, not salami slices, which has meant some painful decisions," said
council chair Liz Forgan.

Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum Returns Tapestry Room to Its Original Glory and Configuration - Boston Massachussetts - USA
For the first time since it opened in 1914, the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum's 4,000-square-foot Tapestry Room is
being restored to its original glory and will once again take its place as one of the nation's great tapestry halls. The
restoration of this beloved space will return the Tapestry Room to its original configuration for the first time since a
temporary stage, chairs, and other modern elements were added to accommodate formal concerts in the early 1970s.
Historically, the Tapestry Room has been both a gallery and home to many of the museum's programs, including the
popular Sunday Concert Series. Now, as part of the Gardner Museum's Extension and Preservation Project, the museum's
world-class concerts will be relocated to an intimate new performance hall in the Renzo Piano-designed addition, and the
Gardner will be able to restore the space to its historic appearance, enabling visitors to see and enjoy the Tapestry Room
for the first time in nearly 40 years. No event programming is scheduled for 2011 in the Tapestry Room; programming will
resume in 2012 in the new wing and the gallery will remain open until then so that visitors can view the conservation and
preservation work taking place. The reinstalled Tapestry Room will be highlighted as part of the museum's Grand Opening
for its new wing in January 2012.
Getty Museum to Return Looted Painting Previously Owned by Jacques Goudstikker
- Los Angeles - California - USA
The J. Paul Getty Museum has agreed to return a 370-year-old painting that once belonged
to an art dealer who fled Holland when the Nazis invaded in 1940.
Jacques Goudstikker was the Netherlands' biggest art dealer in the 1930s. He was fleeing
the Nazis with his wife and young son at the beginning of World War II when he fell through
a trap door on an outbound ship and died.
His collection was looted, with some works claimed by Adolf Hitler chief deputy Hermann
Goering.
Goudstikker's daughter-in-law, Marei von Saher, has spent years trying to track down the works. Her successes have been
on tour around the country in an exhibition that ends Tuesday in San Francisco and featured 45 recovered pieces from the
collection.
The Getty bought the 1640 Pieter Molijn painting titled "Landscape With Cottage and Figures" in good faith at a 1972
auction, the museum said. The museum did not disclose the purchase price and has never displayed the painting.

As commander of Allied forces in Europe during World War II, Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower
explicitly ordered his troops to safeguard objects of cultural and historical importance
whenever possible even while fighting a war of devastating destructiveness. Now, historians
can hear the reasoning behind Eisenhower's order, in his own words, thanks to the recent
recovery of a recording of a speech he gave on April 2, 1946, at New York's Metropolitan
Museum of Art.
Digging through museum archives, Robert Edsel, founder of an arts preservation organization based in Dallas, discovered
the recording of Eisenhower's speech that the general delivered when he was honored with a life fellowship from the
museum.
Transcripts of the speech have long been available. But, "when you have Gen. Eisenhower saying it and when you hear his
words, it's electrifying," said Edsel, whose nonprofit, the Monuments Men Foundation, honors those who helped protect the
cultural treasures in Europe during World War II.

Surprising Discovery of Sharp-Toothed Fossil Links Old and New Dinosaurs - Smithsonian National Museum of
Natural History - Washington D.C. (USA)
The surprising discovery of a fossil of a sharp-toothed beast that lurked in what is now the western U.S. more than 200
million years ago is filling a gap in dinosaur evolution.
The short snout and slanting front teeth of the find Daemonosaurus chauliodus had never before been seen in a Triassic
era dinosaur, said Hans-Dieter Sues of the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History. Sues and colleagues report
the discovery in Wednesday's edition of the British journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B.
Sues, curator of vertebrate paleontology at the museum, said the discovery helps fill the evolutionary gap between the
dinosaurs that lived in what is now Argentina and Brazil about 230 million years ago and the later theropods like the
famous Tyrannosaurus rex.

First Batch of Korean Royal Books Looted by French Military 145 Years Ago Return
Home from Bibliothque nationale de France (BNF)
The first batch of Korean royal books looted by the French military 145 years ago returned
home Thursday.
French troops took away hundreds of Korean manuscripts and set fire to 5,000 more when
they raided a royal library in 1866 on an island off Korea's west coast. After about 20 years
of negotiations, France agreed last year to return the books on a "renewable lease" in line
with French law, South Korean officials say.
The books detail protocol for royal funerals, weddings and other ceremonies during the Joseon Dynasty, which ruled Korea
from 1392 to 1910.
The lease means the books' "virtual return" to South Korea as French law allows cultural assets taken out of the country
only temporarily, South Korea's Culture Ministry said in a statement.

Semiotica dei nuovi musei
Pare che nel mondo aprano al pubblico almeno 100 nuovi musei ogni anno. Con questo enunciato Isabella
Pezzini, professoressa di Scienze Semiotiche alla Sapienza di Roma, apre il suo libro dedicato alla semiotica
dei musei, al loro significato intrinseco contestualizzato nella societ moderna.
Lungi dallessere mero contenitore di opere darte, il museo oggi dialoga con gli artisti, con lo spazio che lo
accoglie e con la citt, divenendo spesso simbolo incontrastato del territorio in maniera pi potente rispetto
alle collezioni in esso contenute.

PROYECTO TIGRE: PASADO, PRESENTE Y FUTURO
El proyecto Tigre, puesto en marcha en 1973-74, es uno de los proyectos de
conservacin de mayor xito en tiempos recientes. El proyecto tiene como objetivo
la conservacin del tigre en particular en reservas para tigres, que sean
representativas de varias regiones bio-geogrficas dentro del territorio de nuestro
pas. Se esfuerza por mantener una poblacin de tigres viables en el entorno
natural.
El proyecto se inici en 1973, y varias reservas de tigres se crearon en el pas
parte de una estrategia de proteccin del centro. Las reas centrales fueron liberadas de todo tipo de actividad humana y las
reas de proteccin se sometieron o dedicaron a un uso orientado a la conservacin del terreno. Se disearon planes de gestin
para cada reserva de tigres, basados en los principios que desarrollamos abajo:
1. La eliminacin de toda forma de explotacin humana y de perturbacin bitica del rea central y la racionalizacin de las
actividades en la zona de proteccin.
2. Restriccin de la gestin del hbitat slo para reparar los daos que se hagan al ecosistema debido a la accin humana o a
otras interferencias, para facilitar la recuperacin del eco-sistema a su estado natural.
3. Monitorizacin de los cambios en la flora y fauna a lo largo del tiempo llevando a cabo investigacin sobre la vida salvaje.

Las Negras Waterfront / Jess Torres Garca - Nijar - Spain
The landscape of this Almeria area has been used as scenery for forty years: from the birth of a genre such as the
Spaghetti Western with Sergio Leone taking the lead with The Good, the Bad and the Ugly and A Fistful of Dollars, to
modest productions such as How I won the war by Richard Lester. The fact that such an abundance of artists agrees in the
choice of this enclave as a backdrop for their creations gives us an idea of its scenic quality. The isolation and the lack of
development of this region have also helped.

Indianapolis Museum of Art to Open Miller House and Garden for Public Tours in May 2011 - Indianapolis Indiana - USA
Maxwell L. Anderson, The Melvin & Bren Simon Director and CEO of the Indianapolis Museum of Art, announced today that
the IMA will open Miller House and Garden to the public in May 2011. Located in Columbus, Ind., and one of the countrys
most highly regarded examples of mid-century Modernist residences, the Miller House was designed by Eero Saarinen, with
interiors by Alexander Girard, and landscape design by Daniel Urban Kiley.
Members of the Miller family donated the house and gardens, along with many of its original furnishings, to the Museum in
2009. Additionally, members of the Miller family and the Irwin-Sweeney-Miller Foundation have donated $5 million to
establish an endowment for the house and surrounding grounds. The IMA is working with the Columbus Area Visitors
Center to offer public guided tours of the house and gardens beginning in May 2011.

Invasive species experts call for action in the basin of one of African Great Lakes,
Lake Tanganyika
Threats posed by invasive species and ways to monitor and control them will be discussed at a
meeting in the Republic of Burundi tomorrow, with special focus on invasive species that are
spreading in the basin of one of African Great Lakes, Lake Tanganyika.
Invasive species are species introduced to a new area where they spread causing significant
damage to biodiversity and the productivity of natural and agricultural ecosystems. In the
1990s for example, the invasion of water hyacinth and Nile perch in Lake Victoria caused
hundreds of fish species to disappear or become extinct and some of the ecosystem to collapse.

Africa's rhinos face worst poaching crisis in decades - South Africa - Zimbabwe and
Kenya
Well-equipped, sophisticated organized crime syndicates have killed more than 800 African
rhinos in the past three years - just for their horns. With the most serious poaching upsurge
in South Africa, Zimbabwe and Kenya, Africas top rhino experts recently met in South Africa
to assess the status of rhinos across the continent and to identify strategies to combat the
poaching crisis.

Indian Survey Finds More Tigers, but Some Wonder
A new survey by the Indian government reports a 12% increase in the country's adult tiger
population. But some tiger experts think the numbers don't really add up.
A 2006 survey estimated that the country was home to 1165 to 1657 tigers. The latest
survey counts 1571 to 1875 tigers, almost 60% of the world's wild population, including 70
tigers that were found in the mangroves of the Ganges Delta of the Sundarbans, an area not
covered during the last survey, and another 30 from two other areasthe Orang Wildlife
Sanctuary in eastern India and the Sahyadari protected area in western Indiathat were left
out earlier. However, tigers are now squeezed into 22% less space than 5 years ago, to some 72,000 square kilometers
today.

Development in the Donau-Auen National Park? - Austria
One of the two free-flowing sections of the river in Austria is between Vienna and the
Austrian border with Slovakia. The largest connected floodplain forest on the upper Danube
is located here. Decisions made here in the planning of navigation projects could have a
"domino effect" on the entire Danube.
The project is located on the Danube section between the Freudeneu hydropower station
next to Vienna and the Austrian-Slovakian border, amounting to 48 km in length. It is within
the boundaries of the Donau-Auen National Park, which is also a biosphere reserve, a
designated Natura 2000 site, and a Ramsar site.

10th anniversary of the establishment of the Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park - Scotland (United
Kingdom)
2011 marks the 10th anniversary of the establishment of the Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park - Scotland's first
national park. Over the years many people have worked to create national parks for Scotland but there is one man who
can be credited with actually making it happen: John McFall. John was the Member of Parliament in Dunbartonshire and
some years before the General Election of 1997, he started promoting the need for a a national park there. He managed to
pursuade his senior colleagues to act regarding national parks if they won the election. They did - and within 6 months the
scottish national parks act was passed in 2000. Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park was created the following
year.

Hungary runs out of cash to tackle pollution disaster, WWF (WORLD WILDLIFE
FUND) claims
Despite holding the current presidency of the European Union, Hungary has been accused
of failing to act on the mud pollution disaster that swept a toxic tide of chemical waste
along hundreds of miles of countryside.
Six months after being deluged by the deathly red sludge, towns downstream of the failed
alumina tailings dam near Ajka remain ruined and largely deserted, with residents and
former residents still waiting for authorities to deliver on much of the promised assistance.
Elsewhere in Eastern Europe, residents of other towns threatened by tailings dams are noting that little has been done to
reduce the risks hanging over their communities.

Rumbles in the jungle - Naresh Subedi - Nepal
Office? The jungle. Colleagues? Elephants, rhinos and tigers. Naresh Subedi has many
stories to tell. Stories that are not only fascinating and impressive but that can also make
your hair stand on end.
Naresh Subedi works to save Nepals wildlife. He studies and monitors animals such as rhinos
and tigers, and actively involves local communities in conservation.
Naresh is currently involved in carrying out a rhino census in the Chitwan National Park,
which has the second largest population of greater one-horned rhino in the world. He
recently fitted radio collars on eight rhinos living in the park and now conducts regular patrols to monitor their movements.
This often means spending the whole night in the park, which is also home to tigers, elephants and gharials.

The man who saves turtles - Malaysia
Nick saves sea turtles. In a nutshell thats what he does. But he has to look far beyond their nesting
grounds to make it work.
Nick has a PhD in turtle biology, but he says it did not prepare him for the real-world challenges of
turtle conservation.
After an early career in Saudi Arabia, Malaysia and Palau as a marine biologist, Nick settled down in
north Borneo and established his own non- governmental organization, the Marine Research
Foundation (MRF), a non-profit entity geared to saving marine life across various countries and facing
differing threats. MRF, an IUCN Member, now serves as a base from which Nick addresses turtle conservation at various
levels, and with an ever-growing diversity of people.

International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) helps businesses value nature
Today, IUCN and the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD) released a
Guide to Corporate Ecosystem Valuation (CEV) a new message to enhance business
understanding of the benefits and value of ecosystem services like fresh water, food, fibre and
protection against natural disasters.
The economic value of nature and the services it provides us is enormous, but it is rarely taken
into account in policies, financial systems and markets. The Guide to Corporate Ecosystem
Valuation (CEV) aims to enable companies to better understand the value of natures services
that they affect and depend on. This will improve business decision-making by creating more alignment between
businesses financial, ecological and social objectives.

La imagen electromagntica de la columna de humo es mayor que la que obtena de la informacin ssmica pero no se

Luciano Andriamaro: Health and Fresh Water: Ingredients for Success in Madagascar
The crystal-clear waters of Madagascar's Nosivolo River hold more than beauty: they hold life. The river's waters support
19 endemic fish species, four of which are found in the Nosivolo and nowhere else.
So when, in September 2010, the river and its watershed was named a Ramsar site, it marked a milestone for CI and local
communities in a joint mission to create protected areas that ensure the long-term health of the river for the fish and for
the human population living nearby.
And Luciano Andriamaro, Science Support Program Manager for CI-Madagascar, understands well how important a healthy
river ecosystem is for ensuring benefits for both local communities and wildlife.

Report: Clean Water, Better Health in Madagascar
When Conservation International (CI) and partners first arrived in the village of Miarinarivo in eastern Madagascar in 2002,
the community did not have an adequate supply of potable water. Local taboos discouraged people from using communal
latrines; instead they used the nearby river as a toilet and as a source of drinking water. Waterborne diseases such as
diarrhea were prevalent, especially among young children.
After several years of health education outreach and the implementation of community projects such as latrine
construction in the village, the "Healthy Families, Healthy Forests" project was completed in 2008. Last month, staff from
CI-Madagascar returned to Miarinarivo to find out if the information and services we'd provided had stuck with community
members or been discarded in favor of long-standing traditions.

JUSTIN WARD: HELPING COMPANIES WORK FOR THE ENVIRONMENT
A growing environmental movement was spreading across America in the 1970s. As it gained
traction in the small, vibrant college town of Ft. Collins, Colo. home to Colorado State
University it helped influence a generation of budding conservationists, including Justin Ward,
Vice President of Business Practices in CI's Center for Environmental Leadership in Business
(CELB).
Justin recalls the era as "a dynamic time for environmental policy, with landmark debates on
wilderness preservation, clean air, clean water, energy and other key issues." This early
influence, Justin says, "reinforced my interest in public affairs and the environment and probably influenced my career
choice."

In an 85-square-kilometer swath of rainforest in Cte d'Ivoire's Ta National Park, monkeys call to one another, chimps drum
on tree trunks, and tiny antelopes rustle through the underbrush. That's where researchers have been studying primate
communities for more than 3 decades. Step outside the research zone, though, and the animal sounds fall silent. The
forest is noticeably emptier as a result of heavy poaching. Field researchers all over the world have noticed that long-term
research sites double as sanctuaries, but they've never had the numbers to prove it. Now they do

Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum Returns Tapestry Room to Its Original Glory and Configuration - Boston Massachussetts - USA
For the first time since it opened in 1914, the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum's 4,000-square-foot Tapestry Room is
being restored to its original glory and will once again take its place as one of the nation's great tapestry halls. The
restoration of this beloved space will return the Tapestry Room to its original configuration for the first time since a
temporary stage, chairs, and other modern elements were added to accommodate formal concerts in the early 1970s.
Historically, the Tapestry Room has been both a gallery and home to many of the museum's programs, including the
popular Sunday Concert Series. Now, as part of the Gardner Museum's Extension and Preservation Project, the museum's
world-class concerts will be relocated to an intimate new performance hall in the Renzo Piano-designed addition, and the
Gardner will be able to restore the space to its historic appearance, enabling visitors to see and enjoy the Tapestry Room
for the first time in nearly 40 years. No event programming is scheduled for 2011 in the Tapestry Room; programming will
resume in 2012 in the new wing and the gallery will remain open until then so that visitors can view the conservation and
preservation work taking place. The reinstalled Tapestry Room will be highlighted as part of the museum's Grand Opening
for its new wing in January 2012.

Hairy House / Ashworth Parkes Architects - 2008 to 09 - Cambridge - United Kingdom
The site is very small measuring 7.5 metres wide by 10.5 metres deep, and is flanked by 3 metre high walls to the East
and the North, and a 2 metre high wall to the West. The new house was not allowed to rise higher than the eaves of the
house next door to the North. We were only allowed 1 metre squared of obscured window on the Southern elevation, no
windows above the top of the wall on the Western elevation and 1 metre squared of window on the Northern elevation. We
had to set the building back from the road, decreasing the usable space on the site even further.

County Cork Painter's Studio / LOCAL - 2006 - Country Cork - Ireland
A repeat client from New York approached LOCAL to turn an old stone barn on his wifes family farm compound in Ireland
into a painters studio and vacation cottage. Because she is a landscape painter, she wanted a view and lots of light. At the
same time, they wanted to retain the rustic character of the old stone barn. LOCAL decided to keep the faade facing the

hills beyond the farm. Two skylights, invisible from the street, bring in light into the rear part of the house.

Rivista online - Centro Universitario Europeo per i Beni Culturali di Ravello:
Territori della Cultura, n3, 2011
All'inizio degli anni ottanta l'Europa unita, malgrado ricorrenti solenni dichiarazioni, era
soltanto il sogno di pochi idealisti.
Gi da allora per, andava diffondendosi la convinzione della necessit di una formazione
europeistica della nuova classe dirigente: in particolare si riteneva che ai giovani
dovessero proporsi le dimensioni e le prospettive di un'Europa che non fosse solo un
compendio di storie, magari gloriose ma particolari, e neppure un insieme di Stati,
ognuno autonomo ed emulo degli altri, ma una Patria comune.
The GETTY CONSERVATION INSTITUTE (GCI) - CONSERVACION DE VIDRIERAS
Author: Edited by Miguel Angel Corzo and Nieves Valentn
ISBN: 978-0-89236-492-3
Year: 1998
In this Spanish-language volume, twenty international authorities in stained-glass conservation and related
fields address the history, aesthetics, and conservation of stained glass. The book presents the results of
an international seminar on the conservation of stained glass, held in Spain in July 1994. Among the
subjects discussed are the weathering of medieval stained glass, its chemical structure, the effects of
corrosion, and techniques used for analysis of this historic material.
Miguel Angel Corzo is the former director of the Getty Conservation Institute. Nieves Valentn is researcher at the Instituto
del Patrimonio Histrico Espaol in Madrid.

The Getty Conservation Institute (GCI) - Assessment Report on Shuxiang Temple, Chengde,
rev. Sept. 2009
The assessment of Shuxiang Temple was undertaken by the Chengde Cultural Heritage Bureau, Hebei
Cultural Heritage Bureau, and the Getty Conservation Institute in 2003-04, resulting in a preliminary
report.
The report was reviewed and discussed at an Expert Committee meeting held in Chengde in November
2004. Based on the recommendations of the Expert Committee and the need for additional information,
the report was revised in 2005 and prepared for printing in early 2006.
In the collaboration with the site of Chengde, it was felt important to focus on conservation of traditional Chinese
architecture as a different cultural heritage category to wall painting conservation being undertaken at the Mogao Grottoes
of Dunhuang. The purpose of this diversity of heritage conservation work is to demonstrate the universal applicability of
the China Principles methodology, a new approach in the history of conservation and management of cultural sites in
China.

buildings and sites we encounter in our everyday lives disappeared? Civilization would simply not exist as

Fortunately, awareness of the importance of protecting the worlds cultural patrimonyin particular, its architectural
heritageis at an all-time high and is growing. Time Honored, A Global View of Architectural Conservation explores the
reasons for this phenomenon, explains how international architectural heritage conservation practice operates, and

Germany Relaxes Restrictions on Reichstag Visits - BERLIN - GERMANY
Germany's parliament says restrictions on visits to the cupola of its Reichstag building long a
Berlin tourist magnet will be relaxed later this month, but sightseers will have to register in
advance.
The Reichstag's glass cupola, British architect Norman Foster's popular 1990s addition to the
historic building, was closed to visitors last November after the Interior Ministry warned of
an increased terrorism threat in Germany and raised security levels.
It was subsequently reopened only to people on full tours of the parliament building or with
reservations at its rooftop restaurant.
Parliament's lower house said Wednesday that, starting April 21, visitors who only want to visit the cupola will be admitted
again. They will have to register at least two working days in advance.

Imaginaries of place, destination, and travel are increasingly produced/consumed by diverse populations around the globe
through expanding forms of media and opportunities for travel. A range of players collaboratively produces spatial
imaginaries (the potential power of place as a tourist destination) in touristic systems.
The tourist imaginary, as a nexus of social practices through which individuals and groups intersect to establish a place as
a credible destination, has yet to be fully explored or defined. When they are negative, they f oster avoidance of the
places. They intervene not on at the moment of choice, but also on the spot, deciding for or against certain practices. We
have organized this conference with the goal of a deepening of knowledge of and advancing research methods and
scholarship, towards a more complete understanding of the tourist imaginary.

Diving Ice Age Mexico - Clues about the earliest Americans emerge from the Yucatn's watery

Clues about the earliest Americans emerge from the Yucatns watery underworld
Beneath the surface of Mexicos Yucatn peninsula is a massive network of caves that forms a world unto
itself. Until 7,600 years ago, the caves were mostly dry, providing shelter and naturally occurring pools of
drinkable water to people and animals living in a region with few rivers. As the glaciers in North America
melted and sea levels rose, so did the water levels in the caves, preserving the traces of human activity in
place. These water-filled spaces, called cenotes, are largely unexplored, but a dedicated group of
archaeologists and divers are working together to investigate them

en el Monasterio de Santa Catalina en Sinai (Egipto) 14 de abril 2011
El Monasterio Santo de Santa Catalina es el monasterio ms antiguo de la Cristiandad que sigue
en funcionamiento. Mandado construir por el emperador bizantino Justiniano en el siglo sexto,
contiene obras de arte y documentos histricos de una belleza increble y de gran importancia,
incluyendo iconos, pinturas en las paredes, y mosaicos. Uno de los ms famosos es el mosaico
de la Transfiguracin, una joya de la poca bizantina temprana, situado en el bside de encima del
altar mayor en la baslica del monasterio.
A lo largo de los siglos, la Transfiguracin ha sufrido graves daos causados por terremotos y por las numerosas visitas de
los peregrinos procedentes de todos los rincones del mundo. El Centro para la Conservacin Arqueolgica (CCA) de Roma,
acaba de terminar un proyecto de cinco aos de duracin para conservar este mosaico que no tiene precio.
nanse a conservador y arquelogo, Roberto Nardi, fundador del CCA, mientras que recuenta los pasos dados hacia la
conservacin y salvaguarda de esta simblica obra de arte para el prximo milenio.
Presentado por el Instituto Getty de Conservacin y la Fundacin Getty.

Galpagos- Ecuador
El terremoto devastador que azot la costa de Japn el 11 de marzo dio lugar a un poderoso
tsunami que arras la costa y que tio de tragedia a miles de personas. No se vieron afectados
sitos Patrimono Mundial en Japn y el tsunami se extendi rpidamente a lo largo del Pacfico
durante ese mismo da. La gente de las Galpagos (a 13.000 kilmetros de Japn), las cuales
haban sido avisadas con antelacin, se dirigieron a suelo firme cuando una serie de altas olas,
ms parecidas a mareas subientes y bajantes, arrasaron las islas al final de esa misma tarde. En
la ciudad de Puerto Avora, las mareas subieron hasta 1,7 metros por encima de sus niveles normales e inundaron las
zonas costeras, causando un dao considerable a los edificios situados cerca de la orilla, y en aquellos ms al interior.

Artculo sobre De qu sirve la Lista del patrimonio mundial de la UNESCO?
En los aos sesenta, la UNESCO se moviliza para salvar los templos de Abu Simbel, en Egipto. En esa lnea se crea el
Convenio para la proteccin del patrimonio mundial, cultural y natural, luego la Lista del patrimonio mundial, que cuenta
hoy con 911 bienes distribuidos en 151 pases. Imperfecta pero necesaria, se utiliza cada vez ms a menudo como

La construccin del nuevo acceso al Mont Saint-Michel promueve el debate
El nuevo paso para acceder al Mont Saint-Michel no deja de hacer hablar de l. Desde hace algn tiempo
sus detractores organizan varias manifestaciones y procedimientos judiciales para reivindicar el paro de
las obras. A su modo de ver, el acceso debera imponer a los turistas un recorrido a pie ms largo y ms
gastos.

ScienceShot: Yellowstone consigue un escner CT (tomografa computarizada) Parque Nacional Yellowstone
EEUU
El parque nacional Yellowstone es de hecho un lugar electrizante. Los investigadores han utilizado observaciones del campo
electromagntico de la Tierra recogidas en ms de 100 lugares que rodean el parque para crear una imagen parecida a un CT
escner de la columna de humo de roca caliente responsable de los geiseres y aguas calientes (imagen principal) de hoy en
da as como de la actividad volcnica pasada en la regin. Variaciones en la conductividad de la roca que subyace en la reginque conduce la electricidad en algunos lugares al igual que lo hace bajo el mar (rojo oscuro, insercin)- revela zonas ricas
en rocas de silicato lquido y fluidos salados calientes, tal y como afirman los investigadores en el siguiente nmero de
Geophysical Research Letters. La columna de humo podra extenderse ms de 600 kilmetros al este de la cuenca del
Yellowstone, sugiere el nuevo informe. En la ltima dcada ms o menos, otros equipos de geocientficos, incluyendo uno con
uno de los cientficos que han elaborado el informe, haban avistado la nube de humo mediante el empleo de ondas ssmicas.
La imagen electromagntica de la columna de humo es mayor que la que obtena de la informacin ssmica pero no se
extiende de forma tan profunda, en parte debido a que las ondas electromagnticas que el estudio analiz slo pueden
penetrar alrededor de 300 kilmetros del centro de la tierra.

The Man Who Broke into Auschwitz
Authors: Denis Avey and Rob Broomby
ISBN-13: 978-1444714166
This book is the extraordinary true story of a British soldier who marched willingly into BunaMonowitz, the concentration camp known as Auschwitz III.
In the summer of 1944, Denis Avey was being held in a POW labour camp, E715, near Auschwitz III.
He had heard of the brutality meted out to the prisoners there and he was determined to witness
what he could.
He hatched a plan to swap places with a Jewish inmate and smuggled himself into his sector of the camp. He spent the
night there on two occasions and experienced at first-hand the cruelty of a place where slave workers, had been sentenced
to death through labour.
Astonishingly, he survived to witness the aftermath of the Death March where thousands of prisoners were murdered by
the Nazis as the Soviet Army advanced. After his own long trek right across central Europe he was repatriated to Britain.
For decades he couldn't bring himself to revisit the past that haunted his dreams, but now Denis Avey feels able to tell the
full story - a tale as gripping as it is moving - which offers us a unique insight into the mind of an ordinary man whose
moral and physical courage are almost beyond belief.
