Conference Proceedings

Phnom Bakheng Workshop on Public Interpretation Proceedings

This book is the first in a CKS new series of conference proceedings and features papers presented by leading international experts at the Phnom Bakheng Workshop on Public Interpretation, held at the Center for Khmer Studies, December 4-6, 2005.

Phnom Bakheng, the tenth-century temple-mount, has been designated by the International Coordinating Committee for the Safeguarding and Development of the Historic Site of Angkor (ICC) as an urgent priority - the "most threatened temple in Angkor.''  As Angkor continues to draw a new influx of tourists each year, an integrated plan for the visitor experience at Phnom Bakheng is necessary to ensure a "managed visit" where visitors are accommodated and educated about the history of Phnom Bakheng and about the ongoing conservation methods developed to protect and maintain the site.
