Abstract

This article showcases the importance of preserving the neglected mosaic floors in Cyrene, especially during the last decade when foreign missions have had limited access due to the uprising of February 2011. With the limited resources available to them, the author and his colleagues at the local restoration department sought to protect the cultural heritage of Libya at an extremely challenging time. This article highlights the tangible results of their efforts.

تعرض هذه أهمية الحفاظ على أرضيات الفسيفساء المهملة بمدينة قوريني الأثرية، خاصة خلال العقد الماضي حيث كان وصول البعثات الأجنبية الاثرية إلى ليبيا محدوداً بسبب 2011. سعى المؤلف وزملاؤه في قسم الترميم، و بالموارد المحدودة المتاحة لديهم، إلى حماية التراث الثقافي الليبي في هذه الأوقات الصعبة للغاية. هذه الورقة تسلط الضوء على النتائج الملموسة لجهودهم .
