The aims of this PhD project is the archaeological analysis and protection of the cultural heritage of central Palestine (Governorate of Salfit and the Jericho Oasis) with the cooperation of the MOTA-DACH (The Palestinian Department of Antiquities and Cultural Heritage). The project aims to develop a GIS for the analysis and use of research data through the open-source ARCHES software within the EAMENA project (Endangered Archeology in the Middle East and North Africa http: // eamena. arch.ox.ac.uk/), an international project for the preservation and protection of archaeological heritage in the Middle East and North Africa by the University of Oxford, University of Leicester and APAAME (Areal Photographic Archaeological Archive in the Middle East) with the financing of the Arcadia Found company. Developed in 2015, the EAMENA Arches Database is an online platform to record in a systematic way (eamenadatabase.arch.ox.ac.uk.), view and search for information on location, nature and characteristics of the archaeological elements with the possible perturbations and threats that concern them throughout the Middle East and North Africa. To monitor the status of the archaeological element within this region, satellite images, aerial photos, published and unpublished data are used. The PhD project intends to create an updated database that can mitigate the deterioration of the historical and archaeological heritage of the Palestinian region, in collaboration with the MOTA-DACH (The Palestinian Department of Antiquities and Cultural Heritage). The study will focus on the bibliographic material of the research carried out in the past in the area of investigation, on the materials and results of surveys carried out on-site with the creation of a computerized online and paper database. Furthermore, through the GIS (Geographic Information System) and Remote Sensing analysis can be identified new sites and structures with relative integrity status. The protection and safeguarding of the archaeological heritage of the area are the primary objective and subject of the research. The project aims at the elaboration of a catalogue of the archaeological sites of the territory of the Salfit Governorate and the Jericho oasis, and the drafting of GIS archaeological maps. Continuing the work carried out by the EAMENA project, an interactive database will also be developed for this area of the West Bank that can be used both for the preservation of archaeological and historical sites and as a scientific and practical tool for the protection, study and enhancement cultural. The database will be composed of satellite images, historical aerial photos and updated bibliographic references, expandable with the collaboration of Palestinian scholars and institutions, with the current state of "risk". It is worth underlining the difficulty in identifying the sites since in the Salfit Governorate systematic excavations have never been carried out, except for emergencies and the construction of new Israeli settlements in the West Bank territory.

Lo scopo di questo progetto di dottorato è l'analisi archeologica e la protezione del patrimonio culturale della Palestina centrale (Governatorato di Salfit e Oasi di Gerico) con la collaborazione del MOTA-DACH (Dipartimento palestinese di antichità e beni culturali). Il progetto mira a sviluppare un GIS per l'analisi e l'uso dei dati di ricerca attraverso il software open source ARCHES nell'ambito del progetto EAMENA (Endangered Archaeology in the Middle East and North Africa http: // eamena. Arch.ox.ac.uk/ ), un progetto internazionale per la conservazione e la protezione del patrimonio archeologico in Medio Oriente e Nord Africa da parte dell'Università di Oxford, Università di Leicester e APAAME ​​(Areal Photographer Archaeological Archive in Middle East) con il finanziamento della società Arcadia Found. Sviluppato nel 2015, EAMENA Arches Database è una piattaforma online per registrare in modo sistematico (eamenadatabase.arch.ox.ac.uk.), Visualizzare e cercare informazioni su posizione, natura e caratteristiche degli elementi archeologici con le possibili perturbazioni e minacce che li riguardano in tutto il Medio Oriente e Nord Africa. Per monitorare lo stato dell'elemento archeologico all'interno di questa regione, vengono utilizzate immagini satellitari, foto aeree, dati pubblicati e non pubblicati. Il progetto di dottorato intende creare un database aggiornato in grado di mitigare il deterioramento del patrimonio storico e archeologico della regione palestinese, in collaborazione con MOTA-DACH (Dipartimento palestinese di antichità e beni culturali). Lo studio si concentrerà sul materiale bibliografico della ricerca condotta in passato nell'area di indagine, sui materiali e sui risultati dei sondaggi condotti in loco con la creazione di un database informatico online e cartaceo. Inoltre, attraverso il GIS (Geographic Information System) e l'analisi di telerilevamento possono essere identificati nuovi siti e strutture con stato di integrità relativa. La protezione e la salvaguardia del patrimonio archeologico dell'area sono l'obiettivo primario e l'oggetto della ricerca. Il progetto mira all'elaborazione di un catalogo dei siti archeologici del territorio del Governatorato di Salfit e dell'oasi di Gerico e alla stesura delle mappe archeologiche GIS. Continuando il lavoro svolto dal progetto EAMENA, verrà sviluppato anche un database interattivo per quest'area della Cisgiordania che può essere utilizzato sia per la conservazione di siti archeologici e storici sia come strumento scientifico e pratico per la protezione, lo studio e valorizzazione culturale. Il database sarà composto da immagini satellitari, foto aeree storiche e riferimenti bibliografici aggiornati, espandibili con la collaborazione di studiosi e istituzioni palestinesi, con l'attuale stato di "rischio". Vale la pena sottolineare la difficoltà nell'identificare i siti poiché nel Governatorato di Salfit non sono mai stati effettuati scavi sistematici, fatta eccezione per le emergenze e la costruzione di nuovi insediamenti israeliani nel territorio della Cisgiordania.
