Training, Site Security, Storage and Documentation, and Object Trafficking

Continuing with TARII’s cultural heritage preservation series, we will welcome a group of scholars to discuss the protection and preservation of Iraq’s ancient cultural heritage, moderated by Dr. Jean Evans. We are pleased to welcome Dr. Patty Gerstenblith, Dr. Abdulameer Al-Hamdani, Dr. Katharyn Hanson, and Riyadh Hatem Mohammed to this group discussion. They will discuss the current state of training, site security, museum storage and documentation, and object trafficking; and the role the international community has played and should play.

For those who could not join us live, a recording of this event is available online here.
