L.I.S.A. - Patrimonial Projects – Protection of Cultural Heritage, Participation and Structural Development - a podcast by L.I.S.A. Wissenschaftsportal Gerda Henkel Stiftung

Summary: In the English language video Maruchi Yoshida, Dipl. Rest, and Dr. Natascha Bagherpour, M.A. are explaining how an archaeological project in Iran developed to a comprehensive program. Starting from the scientific research of the mummies and organic finds from Chehrabad Saltmine in Zanjan, conservational measures are now being carried out to keep the world´s heritage of the saltmummies. The village next to the excavation site is protector of the ancient saltmine. The people of Hamzelooh, however, live a precarious life. They will also be long-term profiteer of the archaeological site as soon as the measures – water supply and economic growths – will be implemented.  Additionally, within an Open-Lab project the societies in Iran and Germany will be able – with an easy access – to participate in the projects and take part in the discussions. The continuity of work in difficult times and the success of the patrimonial projects are based on a trustful and amicable cooperation between European and Iranian scientists and local residents.
