Tayma, Saudi-Arabien. Bauwerkserhaltung. Die Arbeiten des Jahres 2018

Résumé

Conservation treatment of significant architectural remains in the ancient settlement of Tayma was completed in 2018, based on the preservation concept developed by conservators and archaeologists. Locally available materials have been used for preparing a specific conservation mortar which was applied for the consolidation of walls, whereas installations were treated according to standard procedures. Additionally, backfilling of fully recorded excavation trenches was brought to an end. The next step will consist of developing an integrated concept for the presentation and communication of the site and its architecture for visitors.
