Inspections

Amer Ahmad – February 2026

Introduction

This process aims to ensure proper site management, preserve its architectural and informational elements, and enhance the visitor’s experience and understanding of the site’s historical and cultural significance.

Presentation

The site includes a number of informational panels distributed throughout the area, serving as the primary means of introducing visitors to the archaeological features and key discoveries made since the early stages of excavation. These panels provide simplified scientific information that helps visitors understand the historical sequence of the site and the functions of its architectural structures, while also raising awareness about the importance of protecting and preserving cultural heritage.

The monitoring process includes checking the condition of these panels, the clarity of the written texts, their suitability for their display locations, and tracking any damage caused by natural or human factors.

Conservation

This covers the assessment of the archaeological architectural structures, such as the palace, temple, and Abi. It involves monitoring the structural stability of these buildings, identifying signs of deterioration or damage, and determining their needs for maintenance or preventive protection. The aim is to preserve the integrity of the archaeological structures and ensure their continuity, in accordance with scientific standards and the local environment.

Additionally, inspection includes checking the protective systems covering the palace walls and other place, coverings for some discoveries such as the tannur and bathroom, as well as monitoring the drainage systems and the approved pathways used in presenting the site to ensure its overall safety.
