| Summary: | The special burden ASOR bears, namely, the fact that its core geographical focus is notoriously in the news, gives its members an especial opportunity and incentive to be vocal on the topic of heritage loss. In this essay, the author discusses the importance of education outreach in this time of heightened awareness of and sympathy for the plight of cultural remains in the Near East, exploring ways that archaeologists can engage and educate the public at a scale that will not only help in the preservation of material culture in this troubled part of the world, but will also lead to a greater understanding for the region and its people, past and present. |
