The Bay of Naples, Italy, is renowned for its archaeological heritage. However, this heritage is threatened by the combination of weathering and the biological activity of microorganisms. Fungi are among the major agents of microbial deterioration of cultural heritage since they can cause cracks and lesions in monuments due to the penetrating force of their hyphae. Such biodeterioration may weaken the stone structures and threaten the longevity of these culturally important monuments. To address this, we collected, identified, and maintained in culture filamentous fungi that colonize the external surface of monuments at five important archaeological sites near Naples, namely Cuma, Ercolano, Nola, Oplonti, and Pompei. We isolated a total of 27 fungal taxa, all of which can be cultivated in the laboratory, and form a part of our reference collection. Many of the described fungal taxa we found belong to groups that are involved in stone biodeterioration and can thus be considered as model organisms for in vitro studies. These results emphasize the importance of identifying and cultivating fungal stock cultures for non-invasive studies on biodeterioration. Our newly developed reference collection represents a useful resource that is available to other researchers to rapidly identify potentially hazardous fungi on other monuments.

The  article  presents  brightness  and  identity  of  ancient  and  medieval monuments  of  the  Tyumen  region  and  demonstrates  the  possibilities  of  their  use  in  the  development  of  the  tourist  industry  of  this  region,  which  was  distinguished  by  extensive  lowland  territories  and  a  convenient  transport  network.  The  high  concentration  of  archaeological  sites  on  certain  sites  surrounded  by  unique  natural  landscapes  allows  us  to  talk about  the  creation  of  natural  landscape  archaeological  complexes  as  synthesis  of  nature, archeology  and  architecture.  Particular  attention  is  paid  to  the  rich  archaeological  heritage  of  Tobolsk,  the  first  Russian  capital  of  Siberia,  the  need  to  organize  museum  and  tourist complexes in historically significant urban areas, free from any constructions.

Museum shops everywhere sell merchandise inspired by artifacts in museum collections. But to access this merchandise one must visit the museum itself or its website. What if people encountered elegant objects exquisitely decorated with imagery from world-renowned artifacts and archaeological sites from their own lands when they went shopping for teacups or salad bowls? Would it enhance their understanding, change their perception, or increase their interest in their country’s past? This chapter explores the use of archaeological heritage in Turkey in the creation of the “Anatolian Civilizations” and “World Heritage” collections by Paşabahçe, Turkey’s first and the world’s third largest producer of glassware. Embodying the company’s mission to “preserve Anatolia’s cultural heritage for future generations,” these collections of decorative objects representing canonical artifacts and ancient sites from Anatolia aim to introduce the region’s archaeological heritage to a wider audience. However, produced in limited editions with price tags between $75 and $350, they are within the reach of only a small, educated, urban group.

&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Non-invasive investigations for enhancing the knowledge and the valorisation of the cultural heritage&amp;#8221; is a biennial project financed by the Italian National Research Council (CNR) and by the University of Malta, started in 2018 until to April 2020. It has been&amp;#160; aimed to perform geophysical investigation both in Italy and in Malta in order to enhance the knowledge, and therefore also the preservation and the valorisation of some relevant monuments and archaeological sites in both countries. In particular, we have performed ground penetrating radar [1-2], resistive [3] and passive seismic investigations [4] within or close to archaeological sites, churches, roman monuments and watchtowers and have identified [5], depending on the case, anomalies due to buried rooms, tombs, roads or just geological differences in the subsoil.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Geophysical investigations were also integrated by regional and local geomorphological survey applied to the natural heritage of Gozo Island, such as in the case of the natural arch of Wied il-Mielah and the&amp;#160; terraced high paleosurfaces, on which ancient watchtowers are often present..&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In some cases, excavations were possible too, in other cases we hope they will be done in a future. Not all the times the excavations enlightened the hypothesized anomalies, but all the times the anomalies corresponded to some physical target or some physical buried discontinuity of the soil. At the conference, we will provide some insight on the achieved results, with special emphasis on the results achieved during the second year of the project.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;References&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;[1] R.

<p><strong>Abstract.</strong> In our time, new technologies are progressively more and more approaching the cultural heritage's world. The opportunity to obtain – quickly and in a non-invasive way – virtual models of ancient sites, monuments and objects, using data taken by photo-modelling, digital photogrammetry or laser scanning techniques, offers new possibilities for their proper documentation, monitoring, physical conservation, restoration, archiving and valorization. Moreover, reverse engineering techniques allow a deeper understanding of architectural artefacts and collections by increasing their communication, display and interpretation. By showing a number of experiences related to the rich and famous archaeological heritage of Sicily Island, this paper intends to highlight how the use of new digital equipment and methodologies can be of great benefit for its safeguarding, representation, promotion and enjoyment.</p>

Sejarah memiliki peran penting dalam menilai kemajuan peradaban suatu negara. maka penyampaian sejarah dan peninggalan sejarah perlu dilestarikan agar tidak hilang dan dilupakan. Indonesia adalah salah satu negara di Asia yang memiliki sejarah panjang peradaban dengan kerajaan yang pernah berdiri di Indonesia, salah satunya adalah Kerajaan Singosari yang juga merupakan cikal bakal kerajaan Majapahit.Buku Visual Cagar Budaya Purbakala di Kabupaten Malang Mengambil dari fenomena yang ada akan pentingnya pelestarian warisan sejarah suatu bangsa sebagai bagian dari identitas bangsa tersebut. Salah satunya adalah dengan adanya sebuah media informasi dan visual yang menjabarkan secara informatif mengenai warisan cagar budaya purbakala tersebut. Namun media-media penunjang tersebut bukanlah karya anak bangsa sendiri melainkan karya peneliti dan arkeolog luar negeri yang justru jauh lebih tertarik dengan sejarah bangsa ini. Maka berangkat dari fenomena tersebut penulis mencoba menyusun sebuah media informasi mengenai wisata situs purbakala di Kabupaten Malang secara visual dan infromatif. Tujuannya agar warisan sejarah sebagai identitas bangsa tidak hilang dan terlupakan juga sebagai media penyalur informasi situs cagar budaya purbakala terhadap wisatawan,peneliti dan kalangan akademisi. History has a significant role in assessing the progress of a nation's civilization. then the delivery of history and historical heritage needs to be preserved so as not to be lost and forgotten. Indonesia is one of the countries in Asia that has a long history of civilization with kingdom that once stood in Indonesia, one of which is the Singosari Kingdom which is also the forerunner of the Majapahit kingdom.The Visual Book Travel Archaeological Heritage of Singosari Kingdom is taking from the phenomena of the importance of preserving the historical heritage of the nation as part of the national identity. One is the presence of a visual media and information outlining the heritage informative about the ancient cultural heritage. But the media is not supporting the work of the nation itself but rather the work of researchers and archaeologists abroad is far more interested in the history of this nation. So departing from this phenomenon the author tries to compile a media of information about the tourist archaeological sites in Malang Regency visually and informally. The goal for the historical legacy as the nation's identity is not lost and forgotten as well as a medium channeling information to the archaeological sites of cultural heritage tourists, researchers and academics.

¿Por qué no apreciamos nuestro patrimonio cultural arqueológico? El caso de Canto Chico, una comunidad de San Juan de Lurigancho en Lima, Perú Why don´t we appreciate our cultural heritage? The case of Canto Chico, a community of San Juan de Lurigancho in Lima, Peru Wilmer Mejía Carrión Instituto Cultural Ruricancho, Lima 36 E-mail: [email protected] Recibido el 16 de noviembre del 2016, aceptado el 12 de diciembre del 2016 DOI: https://doi.org/10.33017/RevECIPeru2016.0014/ Resumen A los peruanos siempre se nos dice  “queramos lo nuestro”, lo dicen los spots publicitarios de Prom Peru, lo mencionan siempre en los colegios en los diferentes niveles de instrucción escolar, se nos dice que Machu Picchu, Kuelap entre otros lugares, nos hacen especiales y por eso – como el resto de sitios arqueológicos- deben merecer nuestro respeto y cuidado pero parece que este llamado no tiene mayor repercusión, pues, a pesar de todo de este discurso, los peruanos seguimos maltratando el patrimonio cultural arqueológico. Así tenemos una diversidad de sitios arqueológicos diseminados a lo largo y ancho de nuestro país que están abandonados a pesar de encontrarse dentro de localidades plenamente habitadas. Y más bien estas comunidades, lejos de convertirse en sus defensoras, se convirtieron en depredadoras del Patrimonio. Para ejemplificar esta problemática, se eligió una localidad que es un buen ejemplo de esto. Canto Chico es una comunidad que se encuentra en el distrito de San Juan de Lurigancho, uno de los distritos más grandes de la ciudad de Lima. Esta comunidad creada en 1966, tiene una de los más emblemáticos sitios arqueológicos del distrito: La Huaca “Canto Chico” que data de la época inca (siglo XV d.C). Esta huaca, en un principio, era mucho más grande de lo que es ahora, el pueblo se asentó sobre ésta y así, con el pasar del tiempo desapareció gran parte de su infraestructura, (por ejemplo la comisaría y la iglesia de la comunidad se asientan sobre lo que fue la huaca) quedando, en la actualidad solamente una sección. El Estado peruano – a través del Instituto Nacional de Cultura (ahora Ministerio de Cultura) trató de socializar el patrimonio arqueológico entre los vecinos de la comunidad con resultados infructuosos. Así la huaca ha estado en peligro desaparecer completamente en diversas ocasiones en manos de los propios vecinos.  El artículo busca explicar por qué a pesar del proceso de socialización del patrimonio este no ha funcionado y el patrimonio arqueológico de esta localidad sigue siendo considerada un estorbo por sus miembros.  Descriptores: patrimonio cultural, Canto chico, San Juan de Lurigancho Abstract Peruvians always hear "we want what is ours", this is said by the publicity spots of Prom Peru, This always mention it in schools at different levels of schooling, the speech is the simple:  Machu Picchu, Kuelap among other places, make us Special and therefore - like the rest of archaeological sites - should deserve our respect and care but it seems that this call has no greater repercussion, because, despite everything from this speech, Peruvians continue to mistreat the archaeological cultural heritage. Thus we have a diversity of archaeological sites scattered throughout our country that are abandoned despite being within fully populated localities. And rather, these communities, far from becoming their defenders, became predatory Heritage. To exemplify this problem, a locality was chosen which is a good example of this. Canto Chico is a community located in the district of San Juan de Lurigancho, one of the largest districts of the city of Lima. This community created in 1966, has one of the most emblematic archaeological sites of the district: La Huaca "Canto Chico" dating from the Inca period (XV century AD). This huaca, at first, was much bigger than it is now, the people settled on this one and thus, with the passage of time disappeared much of its infrastructure, (for example the police station and the church of the community Settle on what was the huaca) being, at present only one section. The Peruvian State - through the National Institute of Culture (now the Ministry of Culture) tried to socialize the archaeological heritage among the residents of the community with unsuccessful results. Thus the huaca has been in danger disappearing completely in several occasions in the hands of the own neighbors. The article seeks to explain why despite the process of socialization of heritage this has not worked and the archaeological heritage of this town is still considered a hindrance for its members. Keywords: cultural heritage, Canto Chico, San Juan de Lurigancho
