The Israeli Palestinian Archaeoloy Working Group (IPAWG)
IPAWG was a group of Israeli and Palestinian archaeologists tackling issues of archaeology and cultural heritage management in Israel/Palestine. This working group, operating between 2005 and 2009, was created in order to address the need of updated archaeological data resources to facilitate future neotiations between the two parties. The main objective of IPAWG was to consider various aspects of the role of archaeology in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, including public perceptions of archaeology, the status of archaeological sites and finds in case of the implementation of a two-state solution, and Jerusalem as a World Heritage Site. One important outcome of this group was a joint document listing recommendations on the place of archaeological heritage in a final-status agreement. Another contribution was the creation of the West Bank and East Jerusalem Archaeological Database (WBEJAD), an inventory of Israeli archaeological activity in the West Bank between 1967 and 2007.
