Discovery, Preservation, and Study of Mosaic Pavements in the Gaza Territory
Résumé
Since 1995, as part of collaborations undertaken in the Gaza Territory by the French Ministry of Foreign and European office and the Consulate General of France in Jerusalem, Father Jean-Baptiste Humbert, head of archeology at the Ecole biblique et archéologique de Jérusalem, conducted a serie of cooperation programs with the Palestinian Department of Antiquities. During many archaeological campaigns, mosaic floors were unearthed in Jabaliyeh, Abu Barakeh, Tell Umm el-Amr / Nuseyrat ...On the occasion of this cooperation, our institutions -the Musée départemental Arles antique and the Centre national de la recherche scientifique (CNRS)- were contacted, and we were able to intervene in order to preserve and study these pavements, but also with the desire to contribute to the training of technicians, restorers and searchers in this field.The stylistic examination of these mosaics was faced with the contribution of archaeological and technical studies, the latter from observations made with the help of restorers. These viewpoints renew knowledge of regional workshops mosaic while preserving the exceptional Palestinian heritage.
