The Israel Antiquities Authority (IAA, (ヘブライ語:רשות העתיקות), (アラビア語:داﺌرة الآثار), before 1990, the ''Israel Department of Antiquities'') is an independent Israeli governmental authority responsible for enforcing the 1978 Law of Antiquities. The IAA regulates excavation and conservation, and promotes research. The director-general is Shuka Dorfmann and its offices are housed in the Rockefeller Museum. The Israel Antiquities Authority plans to move into a new building for The National Campus for the Archaeology of Israel in Jerusalem, next to the Israel Museum. ==History== The Israel Department of Antiquities and Museums (IDAM) of the Ministry of Education was founded on July 26, 1948, after the establishment of the State of Israel. It took over the functions of the Department of Antiquities of the British Mandate in Israel. Originally, its activities were based on the British Mandate Department of Antiquities ordinances. IDAM was the statutory authority responsible for the Israel's antiquities and for the administration of small museums. Its functions include curation of the state collection of antiquities, storing of the state collection, maintaining a list of registered antiquities sites, inspecting antiquities sites and registering newly discovered sites, conducting salvage and rescue operations of endangered antiquities sites, maintaining an archaeological library (the state library), maintaining an archive. It published the results of excavations in three journals: Booklet of the Department of Antiquities Hebrew, now defunct, Atiqot'' (and English ), still published, and ''Hadashot Arkheologiyot'' (and English )--still published, online. IDAM also funded and managed the Archaeological Survey of Israel and published the results of its work in maps covering 10 km² of the State of Israel. The Israel Antiquities Authority (IAA) was created from the IDAM by the Knesset (Israeli parliament) in a 1990 statute. Amir Drori became its first director. The IAA fulfilled the statutory obligations of the IDAM and in its early days was greatly expanded from the core number of workers in IDAM to a much larger complement, and to include the functions of the Archaeological Survey of Israel. The period of expansion lasted for a number of years, but was followed by a period in which diminished fiscal resources saw large cutbacks in the size of its work force and its activities. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Israel Antiquities Authority」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
