A collection of 43 essays presented at the 1993 International Conference on the Conservation of Grotto Sites, held in China in order "to bring together an international panel of specialists from a wide range of disciplines to provide a critical mass of expertise that would or could be applied to solving the difficult and numerous problems that threaten some of the world's most imposing and important cultural heritage sites, the mganificent Buhhist grottoes on the Silk Road. . The conference . marked the first time that scholars and scientists from the Wedst and China had convened at a heritage site in China for the common purpose of providing information, exchanging ideas, and devising mechanisms to save grotto sites. The essays assembled here represent contributions from Australia, Canada, France, Germany, India, Japan, Singapore, Sri Lanka, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom, as well as China and the United States. They cover such topics as site management, micro-climatological analysis and evaluation, and geotechnical and environmental concerns, and provide views on a range of conservation issues that convey some of the excitement of the conference itself."
