  • An Archaeological Survey of Tsunami Affected Historic Structures in the Municipality of Galle, Sri Lanka
    ICOMOS Sri Lanka Preliminary Survey of Tsunami-affected Monuments and Sites in the Maritime Region of Sri Lanka PART FIVE: An Archaeological Survey of Tsunami Affected Historic Structures in the Municipality of Galle, Sri Lanka Ranjith M. Jayasena & Kim Spijker PGIAR, Colombo, February, 2005 1 An archaeological survey of tsunami affected historic structures in the Municipality of Galle, Sri Lanka Ranjith M. Jayasena & Kim Spijker PGIAR, Colombo, February, 2005 1. Introduction On December 26, 2004 an earthquake off the coast of Sumatra triggered a tsunami. Within a few hours its sea waves hit the coastal regions of several countries in the Indian Ocean area. Sri Lanka’s eastern, south and southwestern coastal areas were severely affected. The devastation and loss of life was unprecedented. On December 29, ICOMOS, Sri Lanka issued a statement in which it expressed its grief, but also looked forward to the coming process of rebuilding. In this process, appropriate cultural heritage management is required to ensure that vital parts of local landscapes, such as familiar buildings, will not be lost forever. 2. Survey of cultural heritage sites To make an assessment of the damaged cultural property in the tsunami-affected areas, seven universities were sent out to carry out a survey in January 2005. On February 2, at an ICOMOS meeting at the Postgraduate Institute of Archaeology (PGIAR) in Colombo it was decided that additional information on the post-tsunami situation in Galle was required. Consequently, on the request of ICOMOS, Sri Lanka and the Urban Development Authority, the authors conducted a photographic survey in the Municipality of Galle, involving the coastal area from Gintota to Unawatuna.

(For project preparatory technical assistance: All the views expressed herein may not be incorporated into the proposed project’s design. Figure 8-16 Warehouse Logistics Process Three main flows can be identified: • Incoming flow: products or goods discharged from a truck or unloaded from a container. • Warehousing cargo flow: storage of the palletised goods within the warehouse and – if applicable – registration/follow-up of additional value added activities like re-packing, labelling, price-marking, etc. • Outgoing flow: products or goods leaving the warehouse via truck or loaded into a container. The use of pallets is one of the basic and most fundamental requirements of modern warehousing activities and operations. All incoming cargo or products that are not yet palletised need to be stacked on (standardised) pallets during or directly after unloading a truck or un-stuffing a container. A dedicated follow-up of pallet stock management is of paramount importance to carry on the logistics activities. After palletising the goods, the content of each pallet needs to be inventoried and this data needs to flow into the warehouse management system.
