Rocks of Ages: Developing Rock Art Tourism in Israel presents the
findings of an interdisciplinary project aimed at safeguarding the
future of this unique resource. Cultural heritage in the Negev
desert region of Israel is potentially under threat from a number
of social, political and economic activities such as
militarization, settlement and tourism, resulting in significant
environmental change. The cultural heritage and archaeology extend
back at least a quarter of a million years but also include a
unique engraved rock art assemblage that dates to at least 3000
BCE. These engravings form a clear association with other relic
monuments including prehistoric and protohistoric settlements,
agricultural and irrigation regimes, and the remnants of a nomadic
way of life. But how can this unique cultural heritage survive in
the long-term? In December 2017, an international conference was
held at Mitzpe Ramon attended by academics, heritage professionals
and individuals from the tourism industry. The meeting centered on
the dissemination of the findings from the Integrative Multilateral
Planning to Advance Rock Art Tourism (IMPART) research project.
Formed from an interdisciplinary team of Israeli-Italian scholars,
the IMPART researchers collaborated to conduct archaeo-ecological
and socio-touristic research with the goal of establishing an
authoritative set of sustainable best practices for effectively
valorizing Negev rock art. Based on the successful outcome of this
research dynamic, the book is organized into 12 thought-provoking
chapters that identify and analyze the cultural heritage,
archaeology and tourism geographies that fill the multilayered
Negev landscape. The focus throughout is to find ways to preserve
this unique heritage for future generations while striking a
balance between these fragile resources and the pressures for
development of the desert.
