Appeal
for rescuing a piece of Man's cultural heritage
In
the name of the Government of the Sudan, I would like to invite
all experts and international institutions specialised in the fields
of archaeology, history, ethnography, preservation and related sciences
to contribute to the rescuing of sites endangered by the construction
of a dam near the 4th cataract of the Nile (Merowe Dam).
The
participating institutions will benefit from the following:
•
Exemption of fees for the duration of work in the region.
• Exemption of fees for the regular study concessions of the mission
for two successive seasons after the end of the rescue campaign.
• NCAM will endeavour to solve any logistic problems.
• According to chapter III, article 28(b) of the Antiquities Protection
Ordinance (1999), institutions participating in the salvage project
will have the right to own a representative portion of their discoveries
(objects).
Please
find herewith the essential information about this campaign, prepared
by Dr Salah M. Ahmed, the Project Field Director. We are confident
that there will be a projects, beginning with the UNESCO Campaign
to Save the Monuments of Nubia during the sixties of the last century.
