08.23.09 - In the spirit of the international cooperation that is essential to our work, and in cognizance of the magnitude of work that lies before us, the ICOMOS International Scientific Committee on Archaeological Heritage Management (ICAHM) now has two Presidents. We have been elected for a three-year term, during which our primary goal will be to reshape ICAHM along the lines set out by the Eger-Xi'an Principles. The Eger-Xi'an Principles enlarge the role that scientific committees play in ICOMOS.

ICAHM will be especially busy. Of the over 850 sites now on the World Heritage List, two-thirds were inscribed because of universally significant cultural values. Virtually all of these contain archaeological sites, landscapes, or other archaeological materials. Read the complete message here.
