For millennia, people of all cultures have decorated the surfaces
of their domestic, religious, and public buildings. Earthen
architecture, in particular, has been, and continues to be, a
common ground for surface decoration, such as paintings, sculpted
bas-relief, and ornamental plasterwork. This volume explores the
complex issues associated with preserving these surfaces. Case
studies from Asia, Europe, Africa, the Middle East, and the
Americas are presented. The publication is the result of a
colloquium held in 2004 at Mesa Verde National Park, Colorado,
co-organized by the Getty Conservation Institute (GCI) and the
National Park Service (NPS). The meeting brought together
fifty-five conservators, cultural resource managers, materials
scientists, engineers, architects, archaeologists, anthropologists,
and artists from eleven countries to present recent conservation
work and discuss possibilities for future research and
collaboration. Divided into four themes - Archaeological Sites,
Museum Practice, Historic Buildings, and Living Traditions - the
papers examine the conservation of decorated surfaces on earthen
architecture within these different contexts. It is part of the
"Getty Conservation Institute Symposium Proceedings" series.
