Established in 1995 and tended by Jeanne Teutonico, Nicholas Stanley-Price, Frank Matero, Rachel Burch, Valerie Magar, Tim Williams, and Kim Te Winkle through years and decades of development and change in archaeological management and conservation, CMAS was devoted to the nuts and bolts of practicing archaeology in society before the tremendous growth of interest in ‘heritage’ and ‘heritage studies’ from academia. Building on these firm foundations, the present is an exciting time for the journal. The many hardships of the coronavirus pandemic had an impact on the journal, as elsewhere, but this challenging period also offered an opportunity for reflection and renewal. In this first Editorial Introduction as the new Editor for CMAS, I offer a brief overview of the journal’s aims in its contemporary iteration, and highlight some new initiatives the journal will pursue to address important issues in archaeological conservation and management in these times of accelerating change. The field of archaeology, heritage management, and conservation faces major challenges – tectonic shifts that are remaking not just the field but our world today. Some of these challenges include global environment change and the climate crisis, technological revolutions, political extremism, increasing mobility and mass migration, and deepening our commitment to equity and diversity. Yet these challenges offer constructive opportunities for reaffirming the societal value of archaeological heritage as an important contributor to addressing these issues. Heritage offers not just a mirror on social change, but propels, mobilises, and directs change too. As the leading journal for integrating work from professional archaeology and academic archaeology, Conservation and Management of Archaeological Sites has a critical and unique role in shaping the field’s interventions in the major problems of our day. These interventions will span a spectrum of scale and focus, whether mobilising archaeological resources to influence broad social and global trends, or more specifically address the distinctive needs and manifestations of these issues as they impact archaeological heritage. The journal provides a platform for amplifying how archaeology is most effective and influential in meeting these challenges when academics and practitioners work together. This cooperation must move in both directions, such as implementing innovative ideas into the real-world conditions of ‘on the ground’ practice, and foregrounding the study of management and conservation within academic training and research.","PeriodicalId":44482,"journal":{"name":"Conservation and Management of Archaeological Sites","volume":"23 1","pages":"1 - 5"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2021-03-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48848812","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, they are mostly isolated from the rest of the historical environment and become alienated from urban life. The aim is to identify an integration framework for archaeological sites in metropolitan city centres with contemporary urban life. A case study approach is employed, focusing on the Agora of Smyrna in İzmir, Turkey. Literature review on the case and similar cases, analysis of similar cases, literature review on integration criteria, survey, and a Delphi study to understand expert opinion were carried out. As a result, improving the quality of urban life and the good reputation of Agora’s vicinity, and the presentation, management, and usage of Agora itself support its integration. Nevertheless, the ‘presence of public concern for the conservation of the site’ is still the most important for the integration of the Agora with urban life.","PeriodicalId":44482,"journal":{"name":"Conservation and Management of Archaeological Sites","volume":"23 1","pages":"6 - 30"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2021-03-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49527613","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The wall surrounding the old Kano city is one of the most popular heritage sites in sub-Saharan Africa. Today, it is ruined due to human and natural factors; once weakened, the traditional monument now crumbles. Though seriously diminished, it remains a mysterious testimony of indigenous use of architecture that exhibits defence and security systems, labour organisation, culture, society, and therefore the traditions of the place. This essential heritage resource must be conserved because it protects many other important living heritages to the present day. Field surveys and interviews were conducted, and a historical approach was used to provide an in-depth account of the wall’s conservation and the extent of its decay to recommend sustainable ways for its regeneration.","PeriodicalId":44482,"journal":{"name":"Conservation and Management of Archaeological Sites","volume":"23 1","pages":"42 - 60"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2021-03-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44621491","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The data was obtained from geographic information system (GIS) files and a survey. Sixteen experts were also asked to provide a score to each of 29 indicators. The mean values of these scores were then used to evaluate the role of each parameter in the vulnerability of this neighbourhood. Findings show that Tehran is one of the areas with high risk of earthquake, flood, air pollution, acid rain, and land subsidence as a new risk. The annual subsidence rate is about 36 cm. Several bombings indicate high risk of terrorist attacks in the neighbourhood. Unsafe building stock has made the historical fabric vulnerable to hazards. The study area is also at high risk of unfavourable land use and socio-economic conditions including insecurity, drug abuse in public spaces, overcrowding, and daytime congestion.","PeriodicalId":44482,"journal":{"name":"Conservation and Management of Archaeological Sites","volume":"23 1","pages":"31 - 41"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2021-03-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46367949","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is this challenge that we illustrate a process for recreating our historical landscape based on archived materials and using computer animation. Three-dimensional computer modelling software provides one such tool to recreate these sites, and adds to our knowledge for historic preservation and educational prospects. Here we recreate the setting of the nineteenth-century Massasoit Spring water business in West Springfield, Massachusetts, USA.

To effectively manage resources within this dynamic environment requires a holistic understanding of what drives stability (or instability) at each site. The systematic development of indices for archaeological site stability aggregates a large number of complex conditions, both drivers and pressures, into a smaller set of key indicators that can be used to evaluate site stability, and to monitor changes over time. This system of indices provides an integrated framework for evaluation of site-specific stability that allows for adaptive management and the prioritisation of resources (e.g. funding, time, staff).","PeriodicalId":44482,"journal":{"name":"Conservation and Management of Archaeological Sites","volume":"22 1","pages":"181 - 198"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2020-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45502876","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It has been subjected to numerous management plans, none of which were fully implemented. In developing a new Integrated Management Plan one of the biggest challenges was to develop a methodology that would allow all voices to be heard, various interests brought together, and local ownership of the plan’s objectives achieved. This paper reflects on the practical experience of a novel approach to management planning at a cultural heritage site which draws on the theories and practices of participatory planning and natural environment management, and combines top-down and bottom-up approaches through collaboration with local entities and stakeholders. Utilising local institutional resources, in an approach that is locally driven and externally facilitated, the resulting Integrated Management Plan exemplifies a process of co-creation of management decisions.","PeriodicalId":44482,"journal":{"name":"Conservation and Management of Archaeological Sites","volume":"22 1","pages":"93 - 111"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2020-03-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/13505033.2021.1928369","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46496046","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
