Site Conservation Seminar in Israel

In October 1994 the Getty Conservation Institute cosponsored a two-day seminar in Israel on site conservation for senior archaeologists. The seminar helped to identify issues and participants for a formal course on site conservation to be held in 1995 in Israel. The Institute is collaborating on the seminar and the course with the Israeli Antiquities Organization.
