Competence Centre Description
The Department of Antiquities of Jordan (DoA) is the official institutional authority mandated by law to be responsible for the protection, conservation and presentation of antiquities. The principal policy of the Department of Antiquities is the protection of antiquities, preferring conservation measures that do not require physical intervention to the remains as the first choice where possible. The second policy is for the presentation of antiquities, including research, survey, excavation and site management.
