Landscape Transformations & Heritage Discourses in the Sirwan (Iraq) and Halwan Valleys (Iran)

尽管考古学家越来越强调公众参与，但在中东地区，人们对考古景观的看法往往研究得很少。我的项目旨在发展一种自下而上的理解，了解伊朗和伊拉克库尔德地区的社区如何感知景观特征的变化，并将探索如何利用过去人类与环境相互作用的证据来讨论和解决紧迫的当地环境问题。与此同时，它将分析通过考古遥感项目创造的景观变化的叙述，这些项目塑造了该地区的授权遗产话语。我的研究将与当地社区共同开发机制，使考古知识易于获取，并最终使他们受益。

Although archaeologists increasingly emphasise public engagement, communities' perceptions of the archaeological landscapes often poorly studied in the Middle East. My project aims to develop a bottom-up understanding of how communities in the Kurdish regions of Iran and Iraq perceive changes of the landscape features and, will explore how evidence of past human-environment interactions can be harnessed to discuss and address pressing local environmental issues. In parallel, it will analysenarratives oflandscape change created through archaeological remote sensing projects, which shape the regions' authorised heritage discourses. My research will co-develop mechanisms with local communities to make archaeological knowledge accessible and ultimately beneficial to them.
