AbstractIn 2006 through 2007, Xi’an Municipal Institute of Cultural Heritage Conservation and Archaeology excavated two ancient bridges crossing the old course of Jue River 400m to the west of the southwest corner of the Han Chang’an City. The ancient bridge no. 1 was better preserved, of which 160 bridge piles lining in five east-west rows were excavated; these bridge piles were high and straightly standing, and were almost on their original positions. The alignments and the charring degrees of the bridge piles reflected that this bridge had been built for twice. Ancient bridge no. 2, which was also crossing the same ancient river course, was about 90m to the west of no. 1. It was poorly preserved, only the root parts of the wooden bridge piles were found, in total 32 bridge piles in five rows were uncovered. This bridge located about 400m outside the southwest corner of the Han Chang’an City was just between the capital city and Jianzhang Palace of the Western Han Dynasty; to its southeast were the sites of the Altars of the Soil and Grains, the

Abstract In April and May 2011, Qingdao Municipal Institute of Cultural Heritage Conservation and Archaeology and Huangdao District Museum excavated the Tushantun Cemetery located in Huangdao District, Qingdao City. The excavation cleared three mounds and recovered seven tombs beneath them. Of these seven tombs, M6 and M8 are vertical shaft stone pit tombs with brick-timber coffin chambers and ramp passages, the burial receptacles of which are nested double-coffin and double-coffin chamber, and the grave goods unearthed from which include bronzes, jades, lacquered wares, pottery and porcelain wares and implements made of bone and horn (turtle scute). The types and styles of the tombs and grave goods all show that the dates of these two tombs are the late Western Han to the early Eastern Han Dynasty. The excavation of these tombs provided important physical materials for the studies on the burial system, geography and material culture in the coastal area of southeastern Shandong during the Han Dynasty.

Conservation And Management

This paper is an attempt to explain problems of cultural heritage conservation and management in Thailand due to the neglect of the State and the weakness of the society in understanding and protecting their cultural heritage especially the “folk culture” against globalization. The paper also points out that the impending Thailand Charter for cultural heritage conservation and management is the key solution to counterbalance today’s threats. Non-government organizations should take the lead in drafting the Charter with full public participation. Meanwhile local cultural heritage organizations which are at risk should immediately respond, with all stakeholders involved, before it is too late.

Los arquitectos históricamente hemos estado vinculados a los procesos de conservación del Patrimonio Cultural. Con motivo de la realización de la Tesis Doctoral, sobre la Difusión del Patrimonio y debido al reconocido prestigio internacional del modelo de gestión Vila Museu en Mértola (Portugal), como ejemplo de buenas prácticas en la puesta en valor, fue seleccionado como uno de los casos de estudio. Este caso es el que se incluye en la presente publicación.El proyecto Vila Museu, surge en los años 80, fruto de una iniciativa del Campo Arqueológico de Mértola, en colaboración con su Asociación en Defensa del Patrimonio y apoyado por la Câmara Municipal. Un proyecto con origen en la investigación arqueológica, que pretendía desarrollar cultural y económicamente una de las regiones más deprimidas de Portugal. Nuestro objetivo era crear un sistema analítico y de evaluación de las acciones de difusión existentes, así como del modelo de gestión desarrollado. Se propusieron una serie de indicadores clasificados en tres fases, según aspectos relacionados con su gestión, con sus contenidos difundidos, y/o con parámetros relacionados con temporalidad y accesibilidad. Abstract:Historically, architects have been related to the processes of Cultural Heritage conservation.
