This paper focuses on the construction technique and material used conserving the heritage of Addiriyah. The paper critically analyzes the ongoing earth construction of Addiriyah conservation program in the light of contemporary stabilized earth construction. To achieve the aim of this paper the author adopts several research methods, such as, desktop survey, case study, photography, and drawings.
