Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Article in proceedings › Research › peer-review

In 2009 the Qatar Museums Authorities initiated a long-term archaeological and heritage project in order to study the archaeology
and history of the northern Qatar peninsula with a particular focus on the ruins of al-Zubarah, one of the most important pearl-fishing
towns in the region. The project includes large-scale excavation and heritage work that will develop the site of al-Zubarah into a
heritage park, which is at present on the UNESCO World Heritage provisional list. The poster paper presents the strategies for the
heritage master plan, including procedures for site management, preservation, and presentation.
