Discussion

Questions to Ahmed have developed into a more general discussion about ‘rescue archaeology’ when someone wants to build on a site or when a householder finds, for example, antiquities beneath his house or on his land. Excavation in a built-up area can be problematic as it affects neighbouring structures. Not all ancient structures can be preserved and protected, and priorities have to be assessed.
