Project summary
The Garmian region of Iraq has been impacted by conflict which has caused varying levels of damage, destruction and risk to almost all known archaeological features in the region.
The project increased the capacity of local heritage professionals by creating a geodatabase of surveyed sites and training antiquities officials in heritage protection, policy development and site monitoring.
It also engaged with local communities and established two educational museum spaces at the Slemani Museum and Garmian Civilizations Museum.
