To preserve valuable architectural works, the first step is to have a complete and comprehensive understanding of these works. Among the valuable parts of architectural works are their decorations and murals. Canvas murals are a type of mural that differs from regular and continuous murals in terms of materials, execution method, and generally in nature. Considering that the first step in preserving a work of art is its understanding and perception, the difference between these works is such that carrying out the usual methods of conservation and restoration (without a correct understanding of the work) will damage their authenticity and integrity. In the research conducted on the subject of canvas murals, some researchers place these works in the group of paintings on canvas, and some researchers also recognize these works as murals, and there is insufficient knowledge in this field. The restoration theories that have been presented and published at the national and international levels have references to the preservation and restoration of historical paintings, but they have not directly mentioned how to preserve and restore canvas murals. In order to reach the theoretical principles and foundations of the preservation and restoration of this type of murals, it is necessary to examine international charters, theories, and guidelines in the field of the preservation of historical paintings so that, according to these theories and also the studies that are carried out in the field of identifying the criteria for the preservation of canvas murals, it is possible to systematically recognize, restore, and display canvas murals correctly. In this article, the constituent layers of historical Iranian murals are first introduced, and then the results of the studies of written sources in the theoretical field of the restoration of historical paintings are presented. In fact, these studies and discussions are an introduction to the preservation and restoration of Iranian canvas murals. http://journal.richt.ir/kcr/article-1-301-en.pdf Restoration theories conservation historical paintings canvas murals. per Research Institute for Cultural Heritage and Tourism Knowledge of Conservation and Restoration 2538-6093 3060-6217 2019-03 1 4 12 21 article Talhe Ghodousiyan t.ghodusiean@gmail.com 1 Abdolbasir Hosseinbor 2 M.A in Archaeometry, Tabriz Islamic Art University, Iran.

The comprehensive and remarkable expansion and progress of sciences, especially in the fields of natural, basic and engineering sciences, has caused a huge leap in scientific and methodological approaches in the fields of humanities, medicine, agriculture and art. This leap has created interdisciplinary knowledge or a common language between different sciences and specialties, and their integration has formed a compatible interaction. Among these, archaeometry is one of the interdisciplinary sciences that was often considered as a side specialty and an addition to archaeological analysis and restoration of historical monuments, but today, with the systematic use of natural, basic and technical and engineering approaches, archaeometry has become a common language of the aforementioned sciences with humanities and arts, especially in the field of cultural heritage studies, and has become more important as an independent specialty than ever before. In the present study, an applied and preliminary model of the position of archaeometric approaches and studies in the recognition and study of architectural heritage and its elements has been presented. The need and demand of conservation researchers for controlled and scientific information and data in recent years has doubled the importance of archaeological approaches, but the lack of data in the field of conservation of Iran's historical monuments, especially architectural heritage, is still clearly felt. http://journal.richt.ir/kcr/article-1-302-en.pdf Archaeometry architectural heritage recognition study historical monuments. per Research Institute for Cultural Heritage and Tourism Knowledge of Conservation and Restoration 2538-6093 3060-6217 2019-03 1 4 22 30 article Mozhgan Mousazadeh mosazadehm@yahoo.com , acckhr2017@gmail.com 1 Supervisor of Architectural Decorations in Historical Monuments of Khorasan Razavi, Mashhad, Iran. Modern management has increasingly attracted the attention of executive and organizational systems in recent decades. The application of its key components, such as systems thinking, contingency decision-making, the importance of leadership and effectiveness, goal and strategy setting, motivation, and self-regulation, constitutes part of the success factors for today’s human resource managers. Preservation, restoration, and protection of historical buildings are among the fundamental objectives in the field of cultural heritage. This descriptive–survey study, conducted through a qualitative–analytical method and based on the author’s field experience in supervising 25 projects on the conservation, restoration, and documentation of architectural decorations in historical buildings across Khorasan Razavi province between 2007 and 2016, demonstrates that restoration teams are often composed of academic experts, traditional craftsmen, or a blend of related competencies, each possessing a unique insight and professional commitment to the authenticity of the buildings. Managers who identify the most qualified individuals and adopt a participatory management approach not only achieve better outcomes in the given projects but also ensure job satisfaction, productivity, synergy, and the professional growth of their teams. Furthermore, they establish sustainable career paths and create opportunities to train and nurture skilled groups for future specialized projects. http://journal.richt.ir/kcr/article-1-303-en.pdf Conservation and Restoration Architectural Decorations Participatory Management Historical Monuments. per Research Institute for Cultural Heritage and Tourism Knowledge of Conservation and Restoration 2538-6093 3060-6217 2019-03 1 4 31 37 article Abdullah Nasrollahi abdollahnasrollahi@yahoo.com 1 University Lecturer, Young Researchers and Elites Club, Robat Karim Branch, Islamic Azad University, Iran. Since ancient times, the issue of registration in various areas of life has always been with mankind. Registration is a cultural issue and is considered a reflection of various cultural areas of mankind. Every work left by man in the past, whether it was in the form of an image or a line, reflects and illuminates a world of material and spiritual information and knowledge like an honest mirror without any pretense or imperfection. The characteristic of all registered subjects throughout history has been their "value and importance" for greater permanence and transmission to the periods ahead of them, and this transfer of value to future generations continues today. In the field of cultural heritage and the protection of historical buildings and cities, the issue of registration is very valuable and important. A noteworthy point in this field is the relevance of re-registration of values. Because we re-register the material or spiritual work registered during the creation period so that it is protected and subject to legal protection and public attention, and most importantly, in the process of sustainable development and handed down to future generations. This article, which is the result of objective observations and library and document studies, describes in an analytical-descriptive manner the nature and importance of registration and how the relationship between registration and value, conservation, and sustainable development is defined. Another goal of this article is to examine the role of registration in the protection of cultural heritage values and its place in the sustainable development process. http://journal.richt.ir/kcr/article-1-304-en.pdf Registration cultural values protection sustainable development cultural heritage. per Research Institute for Cultural Heritage and Tourism Knowledge of Conservation and Restoration 2538-6093 3060-6217 2019-03 1 4 38 47 article Gholamreza Rahmani r.rahmani71@gmail.com 1 Behnam Pedram 2 Mehdi Hosseini 3 Assistant Professor, Research Institute of Cultural Heritage and Tourism (RICHT), Iran.

The expansion of the scope of ideas and discussions of conservation and restoration, as an interdisciplinary field, in today's world is in harmony with the growth of science in other branches and fields. This movement and flow cause new categories and concepts to enter the theoretical foundations and literature of this field every day. The birth of new ideas and concepts itself causes a change in the view of issues that previously seemed obvious and unchanged. The nature of the movement towards expanding the boundaries of thought and considerations in the science of conservation and restoration leads to the emergence of new perspectives and the proposal of new issues that, in turn, can be effective in judging and evaluating the measures designed and carried out. Studying and reflecting on the new ideas and perspectives raised in the field of conservation and restoration of historical-cultural objects shows a large gap in the country's collection of awareness and knowledge of conservation and restoration regarding the relationship between the audience and the restorer, which was the main factor in choosing and addressing the subject of the present article. On the other hand, some have pointed out that building an audience is not a one-time thing. An audience is always subject to loss and gain, and as a result, a direct and lasting relationship between the artist and his audience is essential. By measuring each of these factors in Iran, we encounter shortcomings in the audience-building process, especially in the field of cultural heritage. http://journal.richt.ir/kcr/article-1-305-en.pdf Conservator audience conservation reading of the work of art. per Research Institute for Cultural Heritage and Tourism Knowledge of Conservation and Restoration 2538-6093 3060-6217 2019-03 1 4 48 57 article Ehsan Rad raadehsan@gmail.com 1 Master of Architecture, Islamic Azad University, Yazd Branch, Iran. Khanqah of Sultan Ibrahim Khorrambid is a unique relic of the Timurid period. This building has exquisite stucco decorations, combined stone and tile decorations, and mosaic tiles. The building has a central domed chamber (gonbadkhaneh), the dome of which almost completely collapsed due to the earthquake and only a small part of it remains. Considering the climatic conditions, public expectations, and the need to preserve the decorative elements, reconstruction of the dome is deemed necessary. In the reconstruction of the dome, there are obstacles such as the weakness of the existing structure, the type of structure to be reconstructed, and the style of the dome. In this study, three methods for reconstructing the dome have been proposed: constructing the dome with bricks and implementing a wooden ring in the arch, implementing a combined metal and brick structure, and implementing the dome with a wooden structure. Considering that a small volume of the dome remains and on the other hand, preserving the decorations is important, implementing the dome with a light structure (the last case) is suggested. http://journal.richt.ir/kcr/article-1-306-en.pdf Reconstruction Dome Khanqah of Sultan Ibrahim Wooden Structure. per Research Institute for Cultural Heritage and Tourism Knowledge of Conservation and Restoration 2538-6093 3060-6217 2019-03 1 4 58 71 article Hamid Fadaei hfadaii@yahoo.com 1 Majid Ayasi 2 Parisa Babar Shams Mogouei 3 Masoud Bater 4 Kazem Borhani-Ahang 5 Elahe Khakbaz Alvandian 6 Mohammad-Saeid Saedi 7 Roozbeh Shamseh 8 Reza Sheykh-al-Eslami 9 Majid Oloumi 10 Mahdi Koliaei 11 Nahid Harati-Ardestani 12 Reza Hormehr 13 Soheila Zakavi 14 Faculty Member, Research Centre for Conservation of Cultural Relics, Research Institute of Cultural Heritage and Tourism, Tehran, Iran.

Chemist, World Heritage Base of Chogha Zanbil and Haft Tepe, Khuzestan, Iran. Archaeological excavations at the ancient site of Haft-Tepe commenced in the winter of 1965 under the direction of Dr. Negahban and continued for fourteen seasons until 1978. These excavations led to the discovery of a significant assemblage of architectural remains and diverse historical artefacts. Among the finds were various ceramic vessels and objects, a collection of clay tablets, seals and seal impressions, a range of bronze artefacts, numerous fragments of painted mud plaster, coffins, stone objects, clay busts, as well as decorative items such as necklaces, plaques, glass vessels, and bone tools. A considerable portion of these artefacts is today preserved in the Haft-Tepe Museum. In response to the quantity and importance of the discoveries, the idea of establishing a museum adjacent to the archaeological site was raised during the second season of excavations. Construction began in 1970 and, upon completion, the museum was inaugurated in the spring of 1973. With the outbreak of the Iran–Iraq War in 1980, the museum was closed; part of its prominent collection was transferred to Tehran, while other objects remained in situ. In the spring of 2001, research and conservation activities were resumed under the auspices of the Chogha Zanbil - Haft Tepe Cultural Heritage Base. One of the first major undertakings during this period was the reorganisation of the museum’s collection, carried out in collaboration with graduate students of conservation from the University of Art, Esfahan. In this process, artefacts that had previously been kept in unsuitable and scattered conditions were collected, classified, recorded, documented, and systematically arranged. This initiative laid a crucial foundation for the long-term preservation and safeguarding of the invaluable heritage of Haft-Tepe. http://journal.richt.ir/kcr/article-1-307-en.pdf Haft-Tepe Museum Organisation Pottery Tablets Terracotta Figurines Bronze Objects Painted Mud Plaster.
