MASONRY ART: PRESERVATION OF ARCHEOLOGICAL SITES IN CHAKWAL

The process of understanding and handling the architectural heritage in order to carefully deliver it to future generations is preservation. Pakistan has prodigious historical significance with various historical sites. The greatest way to honor the history is to preserve and maintain the historical buildings and the archeological sites. The locale of the study was Choa Saidan Shah, Chakwal. The nature of the study was qualitative. A sample size of 19 was selected, while the data was collected through key informants and in-depth interviews from the selected sampling units. The study shows that even though Pakistan has a great cultural heritage yet the shortcomings related to preservation hinder the tourism economy greatly.
