ancient sites is that what 'should' and 'should not' be done at these sites is no business of any individual or group in their own self interest.

However, I would certainly agree that there's no justification for leaving anything at a site if it compromises its archaeological integrity. I'm not convinced that the odd flower or two really does that.


I would have hoped the archaeological integrity bit goes without saying , the rest is a matter of respect for others ,behave as if it was a strangers home you were visiting and you won't go far wrong . That includes making a noise or playing music .

But it's not a stranger's home. It's a public space. Some people get annoyed with people playing music, I get annoyed with tourists standing in front of my camera. Should tourists be banned because they're spoiling my enjoyment? The issue really isn't that black and white....
