Re: Ancient sites: Protect or Use?

It does raise the interesting question of the degree to which these sites should be pickled and preserved, or maintained in a tradition of continuing use. Which in turn, goes hand-in-hand with the issue of restoration. Who would suggest that Avebury should be closed to public access to prevent erosion, for example? And who would suggest that none of the Dartmoor circles (or Wayland's Smithy, or Stonehenge....) should have been restored? Our interaction with these sites is complex, and the archaeological case for preserving them as we find them is compelling, but not conclusive.
