Participants received the opportunity to experience Nabataean wall painting in situ and to improve their aptitude through practicing manual, photographic and microscopic documentation. Furthermore, they had the chance to gain experience in analytical investigation methods on wall painting and sculpture. The overall approach of the workshop was based on ethical and preventive conservation considerations of cultural heritage.
