Abstract

Te MRAMP represents an American-Italian-Jordanian collaboration dedicated to protecting cultural heritage in Jordan. Te proposed new Regional Archaeological Museum within the Madaba Archaeological Park West is an ambitious project to restore and safeguard a complex of Jordanian traditional buildings from the late nineteenth-century Ottoman era within a museum. The complex will ultimately constitute the ground foor while the contiguous “Burnt Palace,” Roman cardo, and Martyr’s Church will round out an envisioned museum complex. Tanks to a dozen or more regional archaeological sites, the museum will provide a comprehensive narrative of the Madaba region’s illustrious past and its legacy to the dynamic present. To preserve Jordan’s rich heritage, this project is founded in community archaeology, which is essential to ensure the development, continued growth, and sustainability of the museum. Tis article will elaborate on MRAMP as a case study of an innovative approach in Jordan to cultural heritage management.
