USAID SCHEP
Description
The Sustainable Cultural Heritage Through Engagement of Local Communities Project (USAID SCHEP) is a cooperative agreement between the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and the American Center of Research (ACOR). The first phase of the project was implemented from 2014 until 2018 at nine heritage sites throughout Jordan. In 2016, a painted Roman-era tomb was discovered at Bayt Ras in Irbid. The wall paintings feature unique videos depicting the founding of the city and the daily lives of those who lived there almost 2000 years ago. In Bayt Ras, USAID SCHEP worked as part of a consortium including the Department of Antiquities of Jordan (DOA), American Center of Research (ACOR), Istituto Superiore per la Conservazione ed il Restauro/Italy (ISCR), Centre national de la recherche scientifique (CNRS), Istituto Superiore per la Protezione e la Ricerca Ambientale/Italy (ISPRA), and Institut Français du Proche-Orient (Ifpo). This consortium conducted excavation, documentation, and conservation work inside the tomb.
