Emma Cunliffe, 'Archaeological Site Damage in the Cycle of War and Peace: A Syrian Case
Study',
Journal of Eastern Mediterranean Archaeology and Heritage Studies (open access at
JSTOR)
This article compares the damage sustained
to sites in Syria during 50 years of peace with that recorded during the recent
conflict. A methodology is presented to analyze peacetime site damage using
remote assessment of sites on sequential satellite imagery and site damage
during conflict from media sources, together with samples of the results
achieved. The findings are compared to begin to draw out similarities and
differences in how site damage occurs in war and peace, what factors affect it,
and some of the key challenges sites now face.
