Caring for archeological sites

Аннотация

This manual has been written by archaeologists who believe that conservation of archaeological sites is an important task, for iwi Mäori, for the public, and for all those people in professional employment who are privileged to advise on conservation. One of the first rules to be followed in planning conservation is to analyse the different values that relate to a site. To whom does the place matter, and why? Like many Mäori, archaeologists believe that the sites, whether they are tapu or open to the public, are a valuable resource that deserves to be protected and conserved for future generations. Everyone has an interest in their protection.
