archaeological preservation

Archaeological preservation refers to the methods and practices used to protect and maintain archaeological sites, artifacts, and historical structures for future study and appreciation. It involves careful excavation, documentation, and conservation to minimize damage from environmental factors, human interaction, and urban development. Preservation ensures that valuable cultural heritage is not lost and can be studied by researchers and enjoyed by the public. Approaches include using protective coverings, controlling access, and restoring damaged items, all aimed at keeping our shared history intact for generations to come.
