Publications of the workshop "Pipelines to Cultural Heritage"

"Pipelines to Cultural Heritage", edited with an Introduction by Paul Michael Taylor, brings together the papers presented at an international workshop on the archaeology of the BTC-SCP Pipeline Corridors, held from April 20-23, 2010, in Baku, Azerbaijan, as one part of the collaborative work done by the Smithsonian Institution and the Institute of Arhaeology and Ethnography (Baku, Azerbaijan), the Gobustan Historic and Artistic Preserve (Azerbaijan), and the Georgian National Museum (Tbilisi, Georgia). This workshop brought together scholars of the region to assess and interpret cultural heritage findings along the BTC-SCP pipeline corridors through Azerbaijan, Georgia, and Turkey. Panels highlighted and attempted to interpret the linkages in the richly layered cultural history of this region, brought together again today through their participation in this pipeline project. Other panels addressed issues of historic site preservation, salvage archeology, and museum development. These proceedings were originally published online in 2011 within the "Uncover More" pages of a Smithsonian website about this project. This present 2018 revision and reformatting of that online publication presents the papers in a more convenient PDF and print format. In this publication, the papers that were not originally presented in English at that workshop are here presented in their original versions (in Russian, Azerbaijani, or Georgian) immediately after the added English translations.
