Abstract:Heritage resource loss in Tanzania is proceeding at an alarming rate. Natural and human agencies, adverse storage infrastructures and techniques, and lack of trained conservators and curators and a proper protection programme are the major threats that endanger the prehistoric heritage resources of Tanzania. This paper documents the current state of destruction and deterioration of Tanzania's prehistoric patrimony and suggests a protection and conservation programme to counter the trends of heritage destruction and/or deterioration. A preservation programme for Tanzania should include public education, the establishment of heritage preservation laws, more progress in the inventory and protection of 'in situ' heritage resources, research into preservation and conservation methods, training of staff, and improvements in the curation of collected heritage resources and records. Bibliogr., sum. in English and French.
