“…Coherent electrical resistance, dielectric and magnetic anomalies all appear to correspond to areas where there is a well-defined contrast between walls and matrix although the nature of that correspondence is complex. This usefully extends Hammond's (1974) observation of the correspondence of contrasting magnetic zones with the abundance of collapsed building material in the soil. The additional evidence for the 3-dimensional distribution of electrical resistivity and dielectric permittivity also suggest that Hammond's reconnaissance could be usefully extended into three dimensions using ERT and ground-penetrating radar over large areas.…”

“…A number of geophysical surveys have been carried out to map buried remains at Petra, with varying success. The earliest and most extensive, by Hammond in 1973(Hammond 1974, was carried out using a combination of proton magnetometers, arranged as vertical gradiometers, and electrical resistance meters. The survey covered an area of 63900 m 2 -a considerable proportion of the site -at a spacing of 2 m between magnetometer readings.…”

Khirbat as-Samrā Cemetery: A Question of Dating-35 -20 th century (PPUAES II.A: 70-77; PPUAES III.A: 221-42), who recorded and identified the first fragments at Ḥallābāt, many of which have since been lost 5 . At that time it was not possible to recover the full text, other than some fragments, since the majority of the inscribed stones were hidden under the fallen ashlars of the destroyed qasr.A large number of new inscribed blocks came to light when the Department of Antiquities of Jordan, under the direction of Dr Ghazi Bisheh, undertook clearance and excavation work at Qaṣr al-Ḥallābāt between 1979 and 1984. The decipherment of these new documents was undertaken at that time by the French scholar Jean Marcillet-Jaubert, who published an expanded reading of the Greek text of the Anastasius edict.A new impetus to proceed with the reconstruction of the text was given by the excavation, restoration and museum project Qaṣr al-Ḥallābāt -from Late Antiquity to the Advent of Islam: the Excavation, Restoration and Museum Project (2002 -2013) (Ignacio Arce) 16. Anastasius Edict Part I (lines 1-100). Infographic restitution by Mr. Ignacio Moscoso.

A mystery that still needs to be solved for the World Heritage site of Petra, Jordan is how to sustainably preserve it for the future. This article reviews some of the many complex issues faced in efforts to protect this important cultural heritage resource. It then presents a summary of the excavated Temple of the Winged Lions, a 2,000-year-old Nabataean temple in the ancient city center, which is the focus of a new initiative that is attempting some first steps forward toward helping to solve this mystery. The Temple of the Winged Lions Cultural Resource Management Initiative is introduced and some of the project's subcomponents that are endeavoring to establish a holistic, grassroots approach to cultural resource management in Petra are presented.
