"Paramaribo is a former Dutch colonial town from the 17th and 18th centuries planted on the northern coast of tropical South America. The original and highly characteristic street plan of the historic centre remains intact.

1158 IT - Etruscan Necropolises of Cerveteri and Tarquinia (2004)

Brief Description

"These two large Etruscan cemeteries reflect different types of burial practices from the 9th to the 1st century BC, and bear witness to the achievements of Etruscan culture. Wich over nine centuries developed the earliest urban civilization in the nothern Mediterranean. Some of the tombs are monumental, cut in rock and topped by impressive tumuli (burial mounds). Many feature carvings on their walls, others have wall paintings of outstanding quality. The necropolis near Cerveteri, known as Banditaccia, contains thousands of tombs organized in a city-like plan, with streets, small squares and neighbourhoods. The site contains very different types of tombs: trenches cut in rock; tumuli; and some, also carved in rock, in the shape of huts or houses with a wealth of structural details. These provide the only surviving evidence of Etruscan residential architecture. The necropolis of Tarquinia, also known as Monterozzi, contains 6,000 graves cut in the rock. It is famous for its 200 painted tombs, the earliest of which date from the 7th century BC."

塞尔维托里和塔尔奎尼亚的伊特鲁立亚人公墓

"这两座巨大的伊特鲁立亚人墓葬反映了公元前9世纪至公元前1世纪不同的墓葬形式，是伊特鲁立亚文化成就的见证。它们在九个多世纪里 推动了地中海北部地区最早的城市文明的发展。有些坟墓以岩石刻成，上面是给人深刻印象的墓丘。坟墓的墙壁上有很多质量精美的壁画和岩石雕刻。靠近塞尔维托 里的墓地又以公墓见称，包括数千个以类似城市规划的模式安置的墓地，带有街道、小广场和邻近居所。这里有不同类型的墓葬: 岩刻沟渠和坟墓，也有一些石刻的棚屋或房舍形状的墓室，带有许多更加精致的建筑结构。这些是伊特鲁立亚人民居建筑的仅存证明。塔尔奎尼亚墓葬群一般称之为 曼特罗契(Monterozzi)，包括了6000座岩石刻成的坟墓。其中200座有壁画的墓葬最著名，最早的可以追溯到公元前7世纪。"

1343 AE - Cultural Sites of Al Ain (Hafit, Hili, Bidaa Bint Saud and Oases Areas) (2011)

Brief Description

"The Cultural Sites of Al Ain (Hafit, Hili, Bidaa Bint Saud and Oases Areas) constitute a serial property that testifies to sedentary human occupation of a desert region since the Neolithic period with vestiges of many prehistoric cultures. Remarkable vestiges in the property include circular stone tombs (ca 2500 B.C.), wells and a wide range of adobe constructions: residential buildings, towers, palaces and administrative buildings. Hili moreover features one of the oldest examples of the sophisticated aflaj irrigation system which dates back to the Iron Age. The property provides important testimony to the transition of cultures in the region from hunting and gathering to sedentarization."

艾恩文化遗址：哈菲特、西里、比达-宾特-沙特以及绿洲

由一系列遗产所组成，这些遗产拥有大量史前文化遗迹，为人类自新石器时代起就在沙漠地区活动定居这一事实提供了见证。突出的遗迹包括圆形石墓葬群（约公元前2500年）、水井及大量的土坯建筑物，如住宅、塔楼、宫殿及行政建筑等。特别是西里（Hili）的阿夫拉贾（aflaj）精密的灌溉体系是这种源自铁器时代的灌溉体系的最古老例证之一。艾恩文化遗址的遗产是这一地区由狩猎与采集文化向 定居文化的过渡的重要见证。
