  1. Department of Antiquities of Jordan (DOA) • The Department of Antiquities of Jordan (DOA) is the official institutional authority mandated by law to be responsible for the protection, conservation and presentation of antiquities. The official Department of Antiquities of Jordan was established in 1928.

  2. The principal policy of the Department of Antiquities is the protection of antiquities, preferring conservation measures that do not require physical intervention to the remains as the first choice where possible.  The second policy is for the presentation of antiquities, including research, survey, excavation and site management.

  3. In 1975 Jordan approved, signed and ratified the UNESCO “Convention Concerning the Protection of the World Cultural and Natural Heritage”. In 1974 it ratified the UNESCO “Convention on the Means of Prohibiting and Preventing the Illicit Import, Export and Transfer of Ownership of Cultural Property”. Jordan is enrolled in the UNESCO List of State Parties which ratified “The 1954 Hague Protocol and Convention for the Protection in the Event of Armed Conflict”.
