Aksum est la capitale de l'ancien royaume aksumite et l'un des sites archéologiques les plus importants d'Éthiopie. Il a été inscrit sur la liste du patrimoine mondial en 1980. / Aksum is the capital of ancient Aksumite Kingdom and one of the most important archaeological site in Ethiopia. It has been registered on World Heritage List in 1980. Its archaeological and cultural heritage continues to be a victim of urbanization, development, erosion and deposition. Despite increased awareness and issues within the field of archaeology, the destruction of archaeological and cultural heritage sites of Aksum has been staggering. Although considered as an outstanding universal heritage site, very little focused cultural heritage management has been undertaken in Aksum. All archaeological excavations conducted thus far in Aksum focused on unearthing elite tombs and palaces. Both acts of destruction are relevant to current research on the cultural heritage management aspect in Aksum in general. This research provides an analysis of the destruction of the archaeological and heritage sites and monuments in Aksum based on ancient documents, archaeological excavations and field observation. It examines the extent the sites have been excavated, documented and preserved. Three sites have been selected for case study for the present research. The research revealed that the archaeological and heritage sites in Aksum have been deeply affected by urbanization in general. Evidently, the absence of integrated development planning by the municipality, lack of professionals in the field of archaeology and lack of public education have contributed significantly to the loss of the archaeological record. This thesis attempts to evaluate the current state of documentation and preservation of the cultural heritage resource in Aksum.

Para isso travou-se um diálogo entre as áreas de interesse - arqueologia, Museologia e Conservação -, entendendo-as como disciplinas que devem atuar conjuntamente na preservação do patrimônio arqueológico. No Brasil a não interação entre essas áreas, somada à falta de normatização na documentação dessa tipologia de acervo, vem trazendo danos à sua preservação. A preocupação com essa temática resultou neste estudo de caso, que tem como foco principal a análise da coleção do sítio Santa Bárbara (Pelotas-RS), escavada e salvaguardada pela equipe do Laboratório Multidisciplinar de Investigação Arqueológica (Lâmina) da Universidade Federal de Pelotas (UFPEL). Com isso, buscou-se observar as ações das três áreas durante essa empreitada, acompanhando-as por meio das suas documentações e de seus mecanismos de gerenciamento da informação, visando propor como produto, um modelo de documentação e gerenciamento aplicável à referida coleção. / This research seeks to reflect on the importance of documentation and management information as linkage of archaeological collection’s muzealization. This was initiated with a dialogue between the areas of interest - archeology, museology and conservation - understanding them as disciplines that must work together for the preservation of the archaeological heritage. In Brazil, no interaction between these areas, coupled with the lack of standardization in the documentation of this type of library, is bringing harm to their preservation. Concern over this issue resulted in this case study, which focuses mainly on the analysis of the collection site Santa Barbara (Pelotas, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil), excavated and protected by the Lâmina Laboratory (Multidisciplinary Laboratory of Archaeological Research) University of Pelotas’s team. Thus, we attempted to observe the actions of the three areas during this endeavor, following them through their documentation and their mechanisms of information management, aiming to propose as a product, a model of documentation and management applicable to that collection.
