| Abstract: | Archaeological sites are valuable nonrenewable resources and they are being destroyed rapidly by modern development projects
of all kinds, worldwide. The contextual information in these sites could tell surprising and valuable stories of human behavior
over an enormous sweep of time and might contribute to a better future. Archaeologists’ experience of site destruction and
their recent efforts to work with local communities toward alternatives to site destruction may offer examples for others
concerned with the treatment of nonrenewable resources |
