Abstract

The main purpose of the UNESCO World Heritage List is to preserve the cultural and natural heritage considered to be of ‘outstanding universal value’ throughout the world and to transfer it to future generations. However, the current list includes thematic, geographical and chronologically unequal distribution. Since 1994“Global Strategy for a Representative, Balanced and Credible World Heritage List)”, adopted by the World Heritage Committee, has guided the states parties to improve the list in the balance of representation. 

In this article, in order to contribute the strategies of UNESCO, Turkey's Archaeological heritage represented in World Heritage List and Tentative List were evaluated. After providing brief information about the World Heritage List, the representation rates of heritage in the both list were examined considering sub-disciplines of archaeology and various suggestions were discussed in order to achieve a more balanced distribution.
