Abstract

Eroded graffiti by the hundreds can be seen on the features of the ancient city of Jerash. One hundred and eighty-seven distinct graffiti were selected for the purposes of our study to provide insight on forms of graffiti and the motives for creating them. Four field visits were conducted, where forms and photos were used for documenting the graffiti. Left by visitors who wanted to memorialize their visits, no frequent patterns could be found. Yet, analyses like the one presented here are of significance since they document a very common problem at heritage sites that affects the sites’ aesthetic and archaeological value. In addition, this article offers a set of recommendations on how to prevent this form of vandalism.

他们来过这里

在杰拉什古城的特征上可以看到数百个被侵蚀的涂鸦。为了我们的研究目的，我们选择了187种不同的涂鸦，以提供对涂鸦形式和创作动机的见解。进行了四次实地考察，使用表格和照片来记录涂鸦。游客们想要纪念他们的访问，但没有发现常见的模式。然而，像这里展示的分析是有意义的，因为它们记录了一个非常普遍的问题，影响了遗址的美学和考古价值。此外，本文还就如何防止这种形式的破坏提供了一系列建议。

期刊介绍： Journal of Eastern Mediterranean Archaeology and Heritage Studies (JEMAHS) is a peer-reviewed journal devoted to traditional, anthropological, social, and applied archaeologies of the Eastern Mediterranean, encompassing both prehistoric and historic periods. The journal’s geographic range spans three continents and brings together, as no academic periodical has done before, the archaeologies of Greece and the Aegean, Anatolia, the Levant, Cyprus, Egypt and North Africa. As the publication will not be identified with any particular archaeological discipline, the editors invite articles from all varieties of professionals who work on the past cultures of the modern countries bordering the Eastern Mediterranean Sea. Similarly, a broad range of topics are covered, including, but by no means limited to: Excavation and survey field results; Landscape archaeology and GIS; Underwater archaeology; Archaeological sciences and archaeometry; Material culture studies; Ethnoarchaeology; Social archaeology; Conservation and heritage studies; Cultural heritage management; Sustainable tourism development; and New technologies/virtual reality.
