Abstract:
The paper reviews the key objectives for the rehabilitation and adaptation of the cultural Resources Management in the Arab world regarding the development of techniques and methods and the information extracted thereof. The swift implementation of such objectives is discussed. The paper presents some innovation to classify the contemporary users of the historic centers into different categories. The study of the relationship between culture and technology has taken several directions in cultural anthropology. It is here urged young archaeologists to be trained in the specialized skills of Cultural Resources Management, learn the principles of international archaeological heritage management, related legislation, methods of surveying and inventories of threatened sites and should have the required essential knowledge about how to coordinate and communicate techniques of site conservation and monuments.
