OUR PAST, OUR FUTURE, ALL TOGETHER IN FAYNAN

法伊南位于死海以南，约旦南部的瓦迪阿拉巴东侧。这是一个经济贫困的地区，畜牧业和灌溉农业为居住在费南的四个贝都因部落的成员提供生计：'Ammarin，Sa'idiyyin，Rashairah和'Azazmah。它有一个显着的考古景观，已被发现和探索的研究团队从英国，美国和德国在过去的四十年里，所有的支持下，约旦文物部。虽然有许多学术出版物，但这一文化遗产尚未被充分利用，以支持进入费南的生态旅游，这可能是可持续经济增长的主要收入来源。文化遗产也没有向当地社区开放，也没有用于支持社会凝聚力、教育和福祉。文物部建立费南博物馆为在这两个问题上取得进展提供了机会。在2016年至2018年期间，AHRC资助的项目（发现WF16）在博物馆内建立了第一个展览，并在考古遗址提供了少量的信息板。该项目的成功证明了进一步发展博物馆的价值。这个新项目将涉及英国和约旦学者以及Faynan社区之间的密切合作。它得到了约旦旅游和文物部的全力支持，将使博物馆支持当地社区可持续发展的能力发生重大变化。通过提高认识和理解，该项目还将有助于在灌溉农业、道路和水坝发展扩大的情况下保护和保存费南的文化遗产。该项目包括六个子项目，将：1。共同创建一个增强的画廊空间，包括在博物馆内的Faynan的最后100年的历史代表2。促进当地社区的成员以自己的方式讲述他们自己的历史和关于Faynan的故事，并在博物馆内代表这一点。3.支持费南的六所学校提高对费南文化遗产的认识和理解，并将其融入学习和教学4。通过在另外20个考古遗址安装信息板，将博物馆与景观联系起来。让那些无法访问费南或无法访问其偏远地区的网站的人访问费南的考古遗址，方法是使用摄影测量来记录和数字化表示博物馆内和费南遗产网站上的遗址6。通过为附近的成人和儿童设计社交和游戏空间，使博物馆成为社区中心。每个项目都将通过研讨会与Faynan当地社区成员共同开发。其成果将是一座博物馆，它将支持该地区的生态旅游，为当地社区提供以自己的方式代表自己历史的手段，支持教育、社会和个人福祉，并帮助保护和保存费南的文化遗产。

Faynan is located south of the Dead Sea on the eastern side of Wadi Araba in southern Jordan. This is an economically deprived area, with pastoralism and irrigation-based farming providing livelihood to members of four Bedouin tribes who live within Faynan: the 'Ammarin, Sa'idiyyin, Rashaydah and 'Azazmah. It has a remarkable archaeological landscape that has been discovered and explored by research teams from the UK, US and Germany over the last forty years, all with support from the Jordanian Department of Antiquities. While there have been many academic publications, this cultural heritage has not been sufficiently used to support eco-tourism into Faynan which could be a major source of income for sustainable economic growth. Neither has the cultural heritage been made accessible to the local community and used to support social cohesiveness, education and well-being. The establishment of the Faynan Museum by the Department of Antiquities has provided an opportunity to make progress on both of these matters. Between 2016 and 2018, an AHRC funded project (Discovering WF16) established the first displays within the museum and provided a small number of information boards at the archaeological sites. The success of that project demonstrated the value of further developing the museum. This new project will involve a close collaboration between UK and Jordanian academics, and the Faynan community. It has the full support of the Jordanian Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities will make a step change in the ability of the museum to support the local community for sustainable development. By raising awareness and understanding, the project will also help protect and conserve the cultural heritage of Faynan in the face of an expansion of irrigation farming, road and dam development. The project involves six sub-projects that will:1. Co-create an enhanced gallery space to include representation of the last 100 years of Faynan's history within the musuem2. Facilitate members of the local community to tell their own history and stories about Faynan in their own way, and represent this within the museum.3. Support the six schools in Faynan to develop an awareness and understanding of Faynan's cultural heritage and embed this into the learning and teaching4. Connect the museum to the landscape by installing information boards at a further 20 archaeological sites,5. Make accessible the archaeological sites of Faynan to those who cannot visit Faynan or cannot access the sites in its remote areas by using photogrammetry to document and digitally represent the sites within the museum and on the Faynan heritage website6. Enable the museum to become a community hub by designing social and play space for adults and children in its immediate vicinity.Each of these projects will be developed jointly with members of the local community in Faynan via workshops. The outcome will be a museum that will support eco-tourism in the region, provide the local community with a means to represent their own history in their own way, support education, social and individual well-being, and help to protect and conserve Faynan's cultural heritage.
