INVENTORY

The 17吃瓜CHI inventory includes thousands of archaeological sites and monuments, from prehistoric cave sites and small mounds representing the world鈥檚 earliest settled farming communities to the enormous mounded complexes of humanity鈥檚 earliest known cities such as Ugarit, Ebla, Mari, Aleppo, and Nimrud. The inventory contains an impressive array of monumental urban centers and monuments of the Hellenistic, Roman, Byzantine, and Islamic eras, including Palmyra, Hatra, Mosul, Krak des Chevalier, and Damascus as well as myriad other sites that await scientific study. Religious sites and monuments comprise the second largest part of the inventory and include ancient rock carvings and ziggurats from remote antiquity to mosques, shrines, synagogues, temples, churches, and cemeteries that span the periods from the birth of many major religions to the modern era. We have also inventoried secular sites and monuments 鈥� for example, historic government buildings, sporting centers, water wheels, parks, and statues 鈥� along with the administrative infrastructure and cultural repositories that form the core of the region鈥檚 educational and cultural heritage infrastructures, including a wealth of museums, collections, libraries, and archives. While our inventory entries generally document a single site or monument, we have also adopted a multiscalar approach that incorporates historic districts, neighborhoods, villages, and cities.

This inventory was compiled with the assistance of multiple research groups around the world and through diverse published surveys. While the inventory continues to grow, its coverage and accuracy depend on collaboration with other experts in the various regions of the Middle East. 17吃瓜CHI also works to catalogue ongoing damage through high-resolution satellite imagery, incident reports published in our weekly reports, photographs and videos made available online, news and social media reports, and overall assessment of site condition using all of these data sources.

Over the last two years, 17吃瓜CHI has inventoried 13,000 cultural heritage sites in Syria and northern Iraq. The inventory includes a wide range of different site types, such as archaeological, religious, and secular sites as well as museums, libraries, and historic districts.

INVENTORY

The 17吃瓜CHI inventory includes thousands of archaeological sites and monuments, from prehistoric cave sites and small mounds representing the world鈥檚 earliest settled farming communities to the enormous mounded complexes of humanity鈥檚 earliest known cities such as Ugarit, Ebla, Mari, Aleppo, and Nimrud. The inventory contains an impressive array of monumental urban centers and monuments of the Hellenistic, Roman, Byzantine, and Islamic eras, including Palmyra, Hatra, Mosul, Krak des Chevalier, and Damascus as well as myriad other sites that await scientific study. Religious sites and monuments comprise the second largest part of the inventory and include ancient rock carvings and ziggurats from remote antiquity to mosques, shrines, synagogues, temples, churches, and cemeteries that span the periods from the birth of many major religions to the modern era. We have also inventoried secular sites and monuments 鈥� for example, historic government buildings, sporting centers, water wheels, parks, and statues 鈥� along with the administrative infrastructure and cultural repositories that form the core of the region鈥檚 educational and cultural heritage infrastructures, including a wealth of museums, collections, libraries, and archives. While our inventory entries generally document a single site or monument, we have also adopted a multiscalar approach that incorporates historic districts, neighborhoods, villages, and cities.

This inventory was compiled with the assistance of multiple research groups around the world and through diverse published surveys. While the inventory continues to grow, its coverage and accuracy depend on collaboration with other experts in the various regions of the Middle East. 17吃瓜CHI also works to catalogue ongoing damage through high-resolution satellite imagery, incident reports published in our weekly reports, photographs and videos made available online, news and social media reports, and overall assessment of site condition using all of these data sources.

Over the last two years, 17吃瓜CHI has inventoried 13,000 cultural heritage sites in Syria and northern Iraq. The inventory includes a wide range of different site types, such as archaeological, religious, and secular sites as well as museums, libraries, and historic districts.

IN-COUNTRY DOCUMENTATION

17吃瓜CHI obtains data on cultural heritage incidents from individuals and organizations working within or on the borders of the conflict zones of Syria and northern Iraq. This data is incorporated into our Incident Reports and published in our ongoing Weekly Report series. Such information helps to ensure that 17吃瓜CHI provides timely and accurate information that helps to expose atrocities such as cultural cleansing and religious persecution, thwart the efforts of antiquities smugglers, and counter the propaganda produced by extremist organizations and other belligerents operating in the conflict zones of Syria and Iraq.

17吃瓜CHI obtains data on cultural heritage incidents from individuals and organizations working within or on the borders of the conflict zones of Syria and northern Iraq.

[/vc_wp_text][mk_divider divider_width=”one_third” thickness=”1″ margin_bottom=”30″][vc_wp_text]

CONDITION ASSESSMENTS

Relevant data is gathered using techniques developed by 17吃瓜CHI and other cultural heritage organizations from ground level and low-level aerial photo-documentation, high-resolution satellite imagery, and more intensive ground-based survey assessments. All of this information is compiled by the 17吃瓜CHI Conservation Team into an overall summary of the current known condition of the site. Within that assessment, the conservation team also assesses the ongoing threat to the site and ranks its rapid assessment priority using multiple factors.

17吃瓜CHI conducts condition assessments to obtain detailed data on damage, risks, and threats to heritage sites.

[/vc_wp_text][mk_divider divider_width=”one_third” thickness=”1″ margin_bottom=”30″][vc_wp_text]

SATELLITE ASSESSMENT

The 17吃瓜CHI Geospatial Team assesses and monitors heritage sites using available high resolution satellite images. Each heritage site is often assessed multiple times using multiple images to build a timeline of visible damage. Satellite imagery is important in corroborating ground-based damage reports as well as identifying damage before it is noted in the media.

17吃瓜CHI monitors and assesses damage using high resolution satellite imagery.

[/vc_wp_text][mk_divider divider_width=”one_third” thickness=”1″ margin_bottom=”30″][vc_wp_text]

MEDIA INDEX

17吃瓜CHI has created a database of over 10,000 media files related to cultural heritage incidents in the conflict zones of Syria and northern Iraq, including photographs, videos, and video stills. Such media is collected from open-source outlets such as online new stories, blogs, and other web posts as well as individuals on the ground and site assessment teams supported by 17吃瓜CHI. 17吃瓜CHI hopes to expand our media database through the mobile app聽cultural heritage monitor, where users in northern Iraq and Syria can anonymously share photographs of sites.

17吃瓜CHI catalogues photographs and video to assist in documenting damage.

[/vc_wp_text][mk_divider divider_width=”one_third” thickness=”1″ margin_bottom=”30″][vc_wp_text]

ARCHES

A major activity for 2017-2018 will be the export of large amounts of information from the 17吃瓜CHI database to the聽聽platform. 17吃瓜CHI is developing the ARCHES system with the聽聽to share data with our in-country partners and with our other partners around the globe using a secure platform for access.

The ARCHES database system will host our data online in 2017-2018.

What is Cultural Heritage Monitor (CHM)?

CHM is an anonymous reporting resource developed by 17吃瓜CHI to share information about cultural heritage damage or looted / stolen object(s). CHM provides a safe mechanism for Syrians, Iraqis, and others to alert the world to heritage damaged and looted or stolen cultural objects. In the future, we will share relevant information with Syrian and Iraqi heritage experts to assist in post-conflict reconstruction, repatriation, and restitution efforts.

How does 17吃瓜CHI use these anonymous tips?

17吃瓜CHI and a coalition of experts from around the world first check the veracity of information and then share data as part of our weekly reports series 鈥� publicly released on our website 鈥� and in other official reports and news stories. We add information about heritage damage and looting to our inventory of sites, which is shared with other international organizations.

CHI – Reports – Weekly/Monthly Reports

WEEKLY & MONTHLY REPORTS

Initiated in 2014, ASOR鈥檚 Cultural Heritage Initiatives (17吃瓜CHI) is an international collaboration of scholars and institutions who work under the auspices of ASOR. Through two cooperative agreements with the U.S. Department of State and with the generous support of non-federal organizations and donors (especially the Getty Conservation Institute, The Whiting Foundation, and the Kaplan Fund), 17吃瓜CHI undertakes projects to document, protect, and preserve the cultural heritage of war-torn Syria, northern Iraq, and Libya. Hundreds of significant heritage sites have been damaged since fighting began in 2011. Although the destruction of cultural property represents only part of the humanitarian crisis, these harmful actions threaten our common world heritage and cultural diversity. We have an ethical obligation to respond, and our project is part of an international effort to work with Syrians, Iraqis, and Libyans (and other peoples) to protect their heritage and cultural identity.

Initiated in 2014, ASOR鈥檚 Cultural Heritage Initiatives (17吃瓜CHI) is an international collaboration of scholars and institutions who work under the auspices of ASOR. Through two cooperative agreements with the U.S. Department of State and with the generous support of non-federal organizations and donors (especially the Getty Conservation Institute, The Whiting Foundation, and the Kaplan Fund), 17吃瓜CHI undertakes projects to document, protect, and preserve the cultural heritage of war-torn Syria, northern Iraq, and Libya. Hundreds of significant heritage sites have been damaged since fighting began in 2011. Although the destruction of cultural property represents only part of the humanitarian crisis, these harmful actions threaten our common world heritage and cultural diversity. We have an ethical obligation to respond, and our project is part of an international effort to work with Syrians, Iraqis, and Libyans (and other peoples) to protect their heritage and cultural identity.[/vc_column_text][mk_divider thickness=”1″ margin_top=”10″][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/3″][mk_image src=”http://www.asor.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/CHI_reports_250x350.jpg” image_width=”250″ crop=”false” hover=”false”][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”2/3″][vc_column_text]
