Conservation of Archaeological Sites

Conservation of archaeological sites involves protecting and preserving historically significant locations for future generations. It includes activities like preventing deterioration from natural elements, human activity, and development, as well as repairing damage and documenting the site’s features. Effective conservation respects the site's original context and cultural value, balancing preservation with public access and education. The goal is to maintain these sites’ integrity, allowing us to learn from and appreciate our shared history without harming or erasing it.
