Résumé

In 2007, after consultation with international and (sub) regional experts, an initial list of 106 properties built with earth and inscribed on the World Heritage List had been elaborated. In 2010, this first list was updated by reviewing all the properties on the List. This was done by identifying, for each property, the presence or absence of earth materials, based on information available online, mainly on the WHC website, and through documentation available at CRAterre. Thus, a list comprising 135 properties was established, that would later be redefined. With the aim to develop a more accurate document, a first important updating work was conducted in 2011, leading to the new inventory of 150 properties for which the information on the structural elements involved and the construction techniques used was verified. A similar exercise has been undertaken by the end of 2014 allowing the inclusion of both the new properties that have been inscribed in 2012, 2013 and 2014 and few ones that have been identified as missing in the 2012 list, either by their site managers or by scholars of various origin. These updated data are presented in this document with, for each site, a summary of itsoutstanding universal value, a brief description of the items actually made from earth materials as well as the description of the construction technique(s) employed. Information on the state of conservation of these sites and the key issues as determined by site managers was also included. The amount of responses to the questionnaires sent is not sufficient to obtain fully comprehensive data results at this point. However, the proportionof sites for which information has been collected allows to get a fairly reliable overview of the current situation and take stock of the priorities shared by property managers, both worldwide and by geographic region (geographic division by UNESCO). Here, the update of 2014 has simply been made by adding the information that could be collected from the site managers for the new sites identified (10 out of the additional 23).
