Résumé

This article describes the various activities developed in Ancient Merv between 2001 and 2007 by the International center for Earth construction (CRAterre-ENSAG), in close collaboration with the National Department for the Protection, Study and Restoration of Historical and Cultural Monuments, Ministry of Culture of Turkmenistan (DPM) and the University College of London (UCL, Institute of Archaeology), to develop a preventive conservation strategy for this World Heritage Property. The philosophy of this collaboration was to strengthen the capacities of the Turkmen specialists in the field of conservation for a better preservation of the unique monuments and precious archaeological remains. The working methodology integrated research & experimentation, capacity building, supply of equipment and improvement of conservation/management practices. This article comprises four main sections. The introduction presents the general context of the site, the second part explains the conservation principles adopted, the third part describes some interventions on the monuments and the last part presents the training activities undertaken.
