Loss of Lives and a Wounded Community: The Human Tragedy and Threat to Valencia's Cultural Heritage. The human tragedy of the recent floods in Valencia has left a deep scar on the region. The loss of lives is devastating, a reminder once again of the inadequacy of preventive measures and the lack of coordination from authorities. Mismanagement and poor foresight are evident in every affected area, where the response has fallen short of the scale of these events. Amid this suffering, the region's cultural and natural heritage, though essential to the community’s identity and history, is understandably a secondary concern. The primary focus must remain on the recovery of affected areas and supporting the families of those impacted. However, in the near future, a thorough assessment of the damage to these valuable heritage sites will be essential. Among the affected heritage sites are significant natural and archaeological areas. The Albufera Natural Park, a unique wetland rich in biodiversity, may have experienced severe ecosystem disruption, threatening the local fauna and flora. Likewise, Sierra Calderona, with its rich biological diversity, has been hit hard by intense rainfall and landslides, damaging the landscape and the life it sustains. The impact on archaeological sites is also concerning. La Bastida de les Alcusses in Moixent, an ancient Iberian settlement from the 4th century BCE, and La Carència in Turís, a fortified Iberian village, stand as silent witnesses to the region’s early civilizations. Erosion, water accumulation, and mudslides may have compromised the structures and remains, complicating future research and altering their preservation. Additionally, the Caves of the Spider in Bicorp, home to UNESCO-listed rock art, could have suffered irreparable damage due to humidity and possible seepage, putting these prehistoric works at significant risk. It’s clear that while the immediate priority is human recovery and supporting those affected, the fragile and precious cultural and natural heritage will also require urgent attention. Valencia’s history is rich in assets of universal value, and the devastation caused by these floods calls for a profound reflection on how to protect better both lives and the legacy these lands hold in the future. #Valencia #CulturalHeritage #Community #HumanTragedy #TogetherWeHeal

📖 New publication from our Conservation Institute 📖 For more than three decades, the Getty Conservation Institute has focused on the conservation of archaeological sites, with the reburial of mosaics being a core concern and activity. Our new publication, "The Reburial of Mosaics: Literature Review and Training and Planning Documents," provides information and methodologies to expand and improve the reburial of mosaic pavements for their protection. Part I is a literature review covering advances and trends in mosaic reburial, and Part II is a selection of the mosaic conservation and reburial planning, monitoring, and maintenance documents produced during our training courses and field projects. Together, these two parts provide practitioners with the tools necessary to conserve our mosaic heritage on archaeological sites for generations to come. 🔗 Read the free publication here: https://gty.art/4fbquZ3 #conservation #artconservation #heritageconservation #mosaics #mosaicheritage

🌏 Crucial Steps in the NSW Planning Process: Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Assessments In NSW, Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Assessments are a vital part of the planning process. These assessments ensure that any proposed developments respect and preserve the cultural significance of Aboriginal sites and landscapes. It's about more than compliance—it's about honoring the deep cultural connections that exist between Aboriginal communities and their land. At East Coast Heritage and Archaeology, we are experts in conducting these assessments. Our team brings decades of experience to each project, ensuring that all heritage values are thoroughly identified and protected. With us, you're not just meeting legal requirements—you’re contributing to the preservation of our shared cultural heritage. #CulturalHeritage #AboriginalHeritage #PlanningProcess #HeritageAssessment #EastCoastHeritage

NEW DENR POLICY The Department of Environment and Natural Resources has released an updated national list of classified caves, totaling 1,072 caves across various regions of the country. These caves have been categorized to determine permissible activities within them, taking into account their biological, archaeological, historical, cultural, and socio-economic significance.

Key stakeholders from the Dutch cultural agency and the Executive Council met to discuss archaeology and heritage preservation on the island. They aimed to establish a partnership for sustainable management of cultural assets and to develop an approach plan. Statia faces challenges in preserving its rich archaeological sites due to rapid development and environmental issues. The meeting focused on strategies for research, conservation, and community engagement while considering ongoing infrastructure projects. The main outcome is a commitment to create a comprehensive management plan aligning with international standards but tailored to local needs. This plan will assist various government departments, including infrastructure, nature, and economy (ENI), and project planning and development (PPMO). The partnership also emphasises education and outreach to foster local pride and shared responsibility in cultural preservation. Stakeholders are optimistic about the collaboration's impact on the island's heritage sector. #gisstatia #culture #heritage #archaeology #partnership

👻Buyer Beware ☠️ . -North Carolina lawmakers are moving to loosen development requirements that would allow...developers to build homes on a "highly significant archaeological site" the state says includes a Native American burial ground up to 3,000 years old. . -A recent archeological survey discovered the site has "no less than 11 potential human burial clusters," each containing multiple individuals as part of a Native American settlement spanning over multiple centuries between 1000 BCE – 1600 CE... . -The site...on the Bogue Sound near Emerald Isle, could also be eligible for inclusion on the National Register of Historic Places... . -The proposed legislation appears to cut some state agencies out of the development process and prevent regulators from blocking construction on the site — and potential sites in the future — due to archaeological concerns... . #realestate #ancient #history #deedsnotwords #continentalground
