	Conservation and restoration of cultural heritage


	by Richard Sidaway

Archaeology - finding remains from the past, restoration - restoring places or items to show their former glory, conservation - keeping what we have in as good a condition as possible: these are the themes of this article. Read about an imaginary World Heritage Site to introduce you to the vocabulary of ancient remains. Listen to a young archaeologist describing a dig that she worked on.
