It does not cover every specific case, but the teaching faculty are always happy to discuss specific issues with the participants. The course deals with the philosophical and methodological approaches for conservation and therefore does address intangible aspects of dealing with a heritage site. However, there are specific lectures and a case study that address this subject in this year's course. Check out the <a href="http://www.getty.edu/conservation/education/stone_course/index.html" rel="nofollow">GCI</a> and <a href="http://www.iccrom.org/eng/01train_en/announce_en/2011_04StoneRome_en.shtml" rel="nofollow">ICCROM</a> websites for more information on the course.

In this stone course, are there any topics related to the structure reinforcement issues on some natural stone structure which sheltered ancient cultural heritage sites (such as Cliff Palace in Colorado or Zhoukoudian or Choukoutien in Beijing, China? Also, since stone as a building materials were used in many different types of buildings across the ancient world - in some place, it was used in dwelling construction; in other places (like China), it was only intensively used in structure for the deceased. Were there any intangible aspects of stone conservation that were discussed in this course? Thank you for sharing the news. Very interesting to read.
