Projektinformationen

The focus of the submitted project lies on the sustainable management of archaeological sites and cultural heritage resources in the Lake Eyasi Basin including the establishment of a high-quality data management system for the curation of archaeological materials from recent and earlier phases of field works. The project intends to increase global and national recognition of archaeological sites in the area by providing information, which can be fully understood at different levels, including local people, instructors, and primary and secondary schools, and scientific communities. A further goal is to improve national recognition, awareness, and understanding of the global importance, benefits, and threats that such cultural heritage faces. Finally, it aims to identify ways to mitigate risks and degradation posed by natural processes, human activities, and skewed policies and establish a system of data management and curation of archaeological materials. These concessions are expected to stimulate higher output at the community level in various aspects such as education, poverty reduction, employment, and revenue generation through sustainable tourism.
