Abstract

Tell Atrib, an archaeologically significant site in Egypt, is under threat from a range of human-induced risks. This research aims to identify, analyse, and propose solutions to these threats, focusing on issues such as vandalism, urban encroachment, pollution, neglect, and illicit activities. Utilizing a quantitative risk assessment model, the study systematically evaluates the impact of these risks. Key findings reveal that frequent vandalism and theft, unchecked urban development, and widespread pollution significantly degrade the site's integrity. Preventive measures recommended include enhanced site security, stricter urban zoning laws, comprehensive waste management, and community education programs. These strategies are designed to mitigate the immediate risks and ensure long-term preservation. The research emphasizes the necessity of a multi-faceted approach, involving local communities, governmental agencies, and international organizations, to safeguard Tell Atrib. The proposed framework not only addresses the specific threats to Tell Atrib but also provides a model for the preservation of other endangered heritage sites in Egypt. This study underscores the importance of sustainable conservation practices and community involvement in heritage preservation.
