Roman Trier was reinvented at exactly the time when Karl Marx was growing up within its walls. Marx spent his childhood and adolescence in a house so near the Porta Nigra – one of the most famous Roman landmarks in Europe, then a museum housing Roman antiquities – that he could almost touch it from the window.

  • My Son Sanctuary, Vietnam UNESCO World Heritage Archeological Site
    M GHF My Son Progress Report Conservation Progress Report My Son Sanctuary, Vietnam UNESCO World Heritage Archeological Site In partnership with UNESCO Asia Pacific, Quang Nam Provincial People's Committee Centre for Conservation of Heritage and Monuments and the Lerici Institute September, 2006 1 M GHF My Son Progress Report Above: Global Heritage Fund funded the conservation and stabilization of Temple E7- ‘The Library’. Temple E7, seen here prior to GHF-funded intervention, is in danger of collapse from destruction in the Vietnam War bombings, neglect and seasonal flooding. My Son Sanctuary – GHF Conservation Program Global Heritage Fund (GHF) provided sustained funding support of $120,000 for urgently needed stabilization, archaeological documentation, planning, site conservation and training to help save the last remaining temples of My Son Sanctuary, Vietnam. My Son Sanctuary is Vietnam’s only major archaeological site and is an UNESCO World Heritage site which represents the longest continuous occupation for religious purposes, not only of the Cham Kingdom, but also within Southeast Asia as a whole. My Son was inhabited from the 4th until the 15th century AD, far longer than any of the other Indian-influenced sites in the region including the more famous sites of Angkor Wat in Cambodia, Borobudur in Indonesia, Pagan in Myanmar, or Ayutthaya in Thailand. A large majority of My Son’s exquisite architecture was destroyed during just one week of the Vietnam War. My Son is located in Central Vietnam in one of the countries’ least developed provinces and the site remains endangered from flooding, impact of tourism, and deterioration and collapse of monuments.

  • Chavín De Huántar, Peru
    Chavín de Huántar, Peru 2011 Project Progress Report March 2012 3 Chavín de Huántar, Peru – 2011 Progress Report Executive Summary A great deal of progress was made at Chavín de Huántar in 2011, most notably in mapping, documentation, conservation and community development. The north façade of Building C was carefully mapped in three dimensions with a total station, and photogrammetric documentation – the production of photographic images in which measurements can be made – was introduced to create a very useful record for planning and monitoring on-site interventions. A potential solution to the significant issue of collapses and instability in the main drainage system of the site, the Rocas Canal, was also identified. This will allow this major feature of the site to be stabilized and put back into use after millennia of neglect to the benefit of the entire archaeological complex. Clearing of the Rocas Canal also continued in 2011, leading to the discovery that the feature is even more extensive than originally thought. Another entrance to the subterranean canal was also discovered, cleared and conserved and could be used to allow visitor access. Work on Building C, which has been a major focus of the project, continued and focused on investigation of the esplanade to the north of the building, documentation and conservation of the structure’s north façade, and work in the Loco Gallery. An important result of this research was the discovery of the oldest occupation and use of the site, dated to approximately 1800-1200 BC and pushing back the age of the ceremonial center a further 600 years.

  • Defensive Structures
    Defensive Structures Defensive Structures Bastion (Wikipedia) A bastion is a structure projecting outward from the main enclosure of a fortification, situated in both corners of a straight wall (termed curtain), with the shape of a sharp point, facilitating active defense against assaulting troops. It allows the defenders of the fort to cover adjacent bastions and curtains with defensive fire. The bastion was designed to offer a full range on which to attack oncoming troops. Previous fortifications were of little use within a certain range. The bastion solved this problem. By using cannon to cover the curtain side of the wall, the forward cannon could concentrate on oncoming targets. Types Various types of bastions have been used throughout history. Solid bastions are those that are filled up entirely, and have the ground even with the height of the rampart, without any empty space towards the center. Void or hollow bastions are those that have a rampart, or parapet, only around their flanks and faces, so that a void space is left towards the center. The ground is so low, that if the rampart is taken, no retrenchment can be made in the center, but what will lie under the fire of the besieged. A flat bastion is one built in the middle of a courtain, or enclosed court, when the court is too large to be defended by the bastions at its extremes. The term is also used of bastions built on a right line. A cut bastion is that which has a re-entering angle at the point. It was sometimes also called bastion with a tenaille.

The Limes in southern Germany and Hadrian’s Wall in northern Britain are the most distinctive physical remains of the northern expansion and defense of the Roman Empire. Particularly striking are the size of these monuments today and their uninterrupted courses Ethrough the countryside. The Limes, the largest archaeological monument in Europe, extends 550 km (342 miles) across southern Germany, connecting the Roman frontiers on the middle Rhine and upper Danube Rivers. It runs through farmland, forests, villages, and towns, and up onto the heights of the Taunus and Wetterau hills. Hadrian’s Wall is 117 km (73 miles) long, crossing the northern part of England from the Irish Sea to the North Sea. While portions of Hadrian’s Wall run through urban Newcastle and Carlisle, its central courses traverse open landscapes removed from modern settlements. The frontiers of the Roman Empire in northwestern Europe in the period AD 120–250. For a brief period around AD 138–160, Roman forces in Britain established and maintained a boundary far- ther north, the Antonine Wall. The frontier zones, indicated here by oblique hatching, are regions in which intensive interaction took place between the Roman provinces and other European peoples.
