Summary:
Dans l’ouvrage « Atlas des sites archéologiques menacés – patrimoine à protéger », des scientifiques ont minutieusement sélectionné un éventail de trente-cinq sites archéologiques témoins de l’histoire des sociétés du passé à travers le monde. Ils nous invitent à découvrir leur importance sociétale et culturelle, à prendre la mesure des risques de destruction et l’urgence de les protéger et conserver. Aujourd’hui, les changements planétaires accélèrent l’altération de nombreux sites : montée des eaux et inondations ou sécheresses et incendies, sans oublier toutes les autres pressions anthropiques : urbanisation, travaux d’aménagement, tourisme de masse, conflits guerriers, etc. La vulnérabilité qui menace le patrimoine archéologique mondial est désormais reconnue par les États et les organisations internationales qui légifèrent pour le protéger : devant les dangers qui planent sur certains sites, la mobilisation s’organise. Cet Atlas illustré nous invite au cœur des plus emblématiques vestiges mondiaux et dévoile les acquis récents de la recherche en matière de patrimoine ancien en danger. Par la redécouverte de ces sites porteurs de la mémoire de l’humanité, les auteurs nous alertent sur ces risques pour préserver le patrimoine et le transmettre aux générations futures.
