Project Description
The Jaffa Cultural Heritage Project (JCHP) is an interdisciplinary cultural heritage project that addresses the history and archaeology of Jaffa. The project was initiated in January 2007 by its co-directors, Martin Peilst?cker (Israel Antiquities Authority) and Aaron A. Burke (University of California, Los Angeles). It is a collaborative effort between a number of participating institutions including its senior partners, the Israel Antiquities Authority (IAA) and the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), and other partners including The Gutenberg Universit?t in Mainz (Germany) and The Old Jaffa Development Company.
The JCHP serves as a coordinating body for researchers who share the goals of revealing, researching, preserving, and presenting the cultural heritage of Jaffa. Since Jaffa is a large archaeological site and a living town with a diverse cultural heritage the coordination of these efforts is a monumental task requiring constant attention. The JCHP is divided, therefore, into a number of projects, the activities, resources, and results of which are coordinated, shared, and disseminated. The activities of the JCHP fall within one of four major initiatives: research, publication, conservation, and outreach.
