Archaeological researches and practice of conservation of cultural heritages in Ethiopia
By 2025, Ethiopia envisages to be part of the middle income countries of the world. To achieve this objective, the country is currently undertaking massive developmental projects. In different parts of the country large scale infrastructures like hydro-electric power dams, standard hotels, railways, roads, factories, industries, etc are being constructed. Some of these developmental projects go in line with the proper managements of cultural heritages. On the other hand, some had failed to harmoniously blend developmental projects with proper management of cultural heritages. There are also a number of archaeological researches that are conducted by Ethiopian and international scholars with diverse themes and periods. Some of these researches seriously follow the ethical considerations that the discipline of archaeology requires. Some other researches failed to accommodate the practice of conservation of cultural heritages (in the field, laboratories, museums, etc.). Under these two themes, this panel will organize research papers with topics of current archaeological research, cultural heritage conservation practices and impact assessments in Ethiopia.
