DOWNLOAD EBOOKIn 1991 the mosque at Ayodhya in India was demolished by Hindu fundamentalists who claim that it stood on the birthplace of a legendary Hindu hero. During recent conflicts in former Yugoslavia, ethnic groups destroyed mosques and churches to eliminate evidence of long-term settlement by other communities. Over successive centuries, however, a single building in Cordoba functioned as a mosque, a church and a synagogue. The Roman Emperor Diocletian's Palace in Split is occupied today by shops and residential apartments. What circumstances have lead to the survival and reinterpretation of some monuments, but the destruction of others? This work asks whether the idea of world heritage is an essential mechanism for the protection of the world's cultural and natural heritage, or whether it subjugates a diversity of cultural traditions to specifically Western ideas. How far is it acceptable for one group of people to comment upon, or intercede in, the way in which another community treats the remains which it claims as its own? What are the responsibilities of multinational corporations and non-governmental organisations operating in the Developing World? Who actually owns the past: the landowner, indigenous people, the State or humankind?

DOWNLOAD EBOOKIn response to a congressional request, GAO reviewed three federal agencies' management of archeological resources on federal lands to determine: (1) the extent of looting that has occurred; (2) what the agencies are doing to prevent looting of resources; and (3) what actions the agencies are taking to remove and properly preserve artifacts. GAO found that: (1) looters are destroying valuable scientific information at archeological sites; (2) agency officials believe that enforcement efforts have prevented casual looting, but problems still exist with commercial looting for profit; and (3) although looting of artifacts from National Park Service (NPS) land has been minimal, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and the Forest Service are experiencing a high level of commercial looting. GAO also found that: (1) funding constraints and staffing shortages have hampered agencies' ability to protect archeological sites; (2) the agencies were not taking necessary precautions to ensure the preservation of artifacts they sent to curators; (3) the agencies did not institute any procedures for determining the adequacy and ability of facilities responsible for curating artifacts, and seldom inspected the facilities; and (4) NPS has an estimated 15.5 million uncataloged artifacts collected from both federal and nonfederal lands.
