Cultural Heritage sites in the West Bank GovernoratesThe book is divided into 3 main chapters: an Introduction, historical context, and important cultural heritage sites in Jerusalem, Jenin, Tulkarem, Nablus, Ramallah-El Bireh, Jericho, Bethlehem, and Hebron areas.
The report maintains that there are more than 6000 sites, most of them un-excavated, which can be found in the West Bank and Gaza governorates representing a wide spectrum of historical cultures in Palestine. The report briefly outlines the historical context of the West Bank governorates, and a description of each of the historical sites and cultural environments. These descriptions are divided into a description of the environment of the site and its condition, a short summary of the excavation history and a section on the history of the site itself.
The project supervisor, Dr. kamal Abdul Fattah, is Chairman of History, Geography and Political Science Department at Birzeit University, and is an authority on the History and Geography of Palestine.
