I. BAC'XGROUTTD TO ULIBELA SURVZYS

1. Lalibela, whose father settled in Wollo in the twelfth centurj, was a native of Gojjam and a king of the Zagwe dynasty. A contemporaq, it would seem of Genqhis Khan, the Sultan Saladin and the Enperor Bartzosaat the end of the twelfth centurj he had twelve monolithic churches carved out of the andesite bed-rock at Roha,

,, capital of his kingdom:

Biete Medhane Alem, the church of the Saviour of the World; Biete Maryam, the church of Mary; Biete Ikskal, the church of the Cross; Biete Danagel, the church of Danagel; Biete Mikael Golgotha Sellassie, the church of the Archangel St. Nichael and of Mount Golgotha and the crypt of the Trinity; Biete Hawaryat, the grotto of St. Peter and St. Paul; Biete Amanuel, the church of m a n u e l ; Biete Merkurewos, the church of Mercury; Biete Afehem, the chapel of Bethlehem; Biete Gabriel Rufael, the church of the archangels St. Gabriel and St. Raphael; Biete Abba Libanos, the church of F'ather Libanos; Biete Ghiorghis, the church of St. George.

2. According to tradition, Lalibela is buried in the crypt of the Trinity, which is forbidden to the faithful, and the end of the world is engraved on the central pillar of the church of Mary - a text or drawing which no living man has ever seen.

11. OBJEXTIVES OF THE MISSION

8. of four missions called for following the request for technical cooperation made by Ethiopia to Cnesco within the framework of the 1972 Unesco Convention for the protection of' the world cultural and natural heritage.

9. This three-month mission consisted of:

The terms of the contract were defined by the need to carry out the first

(i) collaboration with Ethiopian specialists in the preparation, programming and implementation of field work, together with photogrammetric surveging of the monolithic churches of Lalibela;

(ii) training of local personnel in the various tasks relative to implementation of the survey itself.

111. .WORK ACCOMPLISHED DURING TRAIMNC AND TRE EXTENDED TRAINING PERIOD

10 . At the outset, in View of the limited number of technical personnel at the Ministry of Culture and Sports and the indeterminate nature of-cooperation between CRCCH+ and EW*, the'consultant requested that the minimum personnel needed to complete the work be assigned to the mission, namely: . One Surveyor: the EMA photogrammetrist, Unesco fellowshipholder;

He was not authorized to participate in this work.

One Photogrammetrist:

One Photographer:

the CRCCH surveyor, Unesco fellowshipholder;

from the Ministry of Culture and Sports.

Working Constraints

(i) Doubling of negative plates

In the case of the North-oriented facades, in particular, the calculated differences in exposure time make it necessary to double certain negative plates which have been partially undee, or over-exposed. permit a plotting which the second will complete in point of detail. Since the two exposure stations were the same, the elements of absolute orientation of the plates should also be the same level-bubble of the camera.

The first negative pair should

or , at least, correspond to the accuracy ensured by the

(ii) Application of plates on camera-back

Since none of the negative plates taken by either of the two cameras have been plotted, a first wick test of the application of the plates must be effected on a comparator or stereocomparator. distances separating two opposed fiducial-mark pictures and comparing them with those calibrated in the laboratory and supplied by the manufacturer.

This test will consist of measuring the

SETTING UP OF AN ARCHITECTURAL AND ARCHAEOLOGICAL PH0TOG:RAMTIIETRY UNIT

13 The setting up of a photogrammGtTk unit which will thereafter be expanded to cover architectural and archaeological photogrammetry calls for the initial assignment of a minimum of personnel and materials to permit completion withln an acceptable period of time of the photogrammetric survey of the Ialibela churches.

Constraints Arising out of the ENA-Ministry of Culture Agreement .

48. A number of eventualities suggest themselves in this connection:

(i) ET' agrees to cooperate because the Ministry undertakes all the financing, making available apparatuses, laboratories and personnel;

(ii) The Elinistry, because of a lack of global credits, can only finance this %a.king available" on an item-by-item basis. out this way the consultant will be forced to calculate very accurately the date of each of his interventions in order to follow the work closely;

(iii) EllA -Gees to cooperate becaus- the work is considered to have major importance in relation to the protection of the national heritage and the reputation of the country, even if no credit from the Ifinistry covers the "making available". give its aid on a piece-meal basis, on dates and for lengths of time decided upon by itself, integrating them into its management planning for personnel, apparatuses and advancement of its work. z In this case, the interventions of the consultant would appear to be only partly worthwhile, especially if we are dealing with successive short-term (2 weeks, for example) availability.

The Ministry no longer has the necessary funds and ENA sticks to its principles,so no plotting work can be done. will be blocked and completion is out of the question. In other words, the technical intervention of the consultant will have proved useless.

Proposed Resolution of Constraints (Ato Yohannes)

To resolve the situation one can envisage two eventualities:

- .besco bzys. a Wild X.10 kutogrzph xhich xi11 'cs gl-;gn to C2CC:i s= :kt At0 Yohannes can carry out the work himself;

- Ato Yohannes goes abroad to carry out the work with Unesco financing the operation (transport, per diem, travel, renting of zpparatus, monitoring) .

Such propositions suggest the following remarks:

- The purchase of a WILD A-10 would mean that one should foresee the following:

f?mds for its purchase;

h d s for its transport and installation by the manufacturer and a contract for maint enanc e ;

a building for installation of the apparatus and for the personnel who use it;

all personnel and material needed to accomplish drafting and other work for the diagrams in the e-xpectation that the MinistpJ will have the f'unds to pay ETU for its printing work;

in the case of plotting carried out overseas, it will be necessary to find a photogrammetric company which agrees to rent a WTLD A-10 :G= short three-month pericds or on XI even zore limitad ccnthly .. asis.

- 13 - - The cos't of the renting will certainly

b e cause : be higher than that of XU

(i)

(ii)

The EMA apparatuses work with a single plotter for 40 hours a week; Those of the European companies make use of two or sometimes even three plotters who, as a team, work 80 or 120 hours a Week. - The company will, therefore, calculate double the time that Ato

Yohannes spends on the apparatus in order to compensate for the loss of use involved.

Taking over of responsibility for work

51 Given the extent of the cooperation requested, it is possible that EXA will only agree to participate on condition that they assume complete responsibility for at least the photogrammetric work of the Fro ject, while permitting

. the Ministry to retain responsibility for the undertaking as a Whole. Thus, the architectural and archaeological photogrammetry unit would become part of EMA' s department of photogrammetry (as in the case of the French National Geographic Institute).EMA would also take on a supplementary assignment from the Government, the runds for which would be additional to those destined for the first assignment.

52. . It should nat be forgotten that a reform of archaeological reseasch has been under study for some months in governmental spheres, and one should not attempt to anticipate the results of these efforts.

53 senrices of a surveyor, At0 Yohannes; of laboratory technicians with specific specialization; of a vehicle, and two cameras for terrestrial photography. There are no scribing draughtmen or photographers for reproducibles.

In the case of the photogrammetric unit, the Ministry disposes. of the

55 to the Air Force. As against this, however, it has no terrestrial camera with which to take photographs.. .

ENA has about 500 people, of whom many have participated in field work,

EMA is totally in charge of aerial photography which it contracts out

56 In taking on responsibility for the Project work EMA is likely to require the two UMK cameras to carry out the work needed by the Ministry. Fortunately, this will prove financially advantageous as it will enable other work in metrology to be undertaken and will also permit work to be carried out which would normally necessitate the use of a helicopter. In this way, it will give EMA a de facto monopoly in the country.
