Popis:	The major economic outlay that goes into the excavation, conservation and presentation of an archaeological site justifies the question, ‘Why should a society underwrite this expenditure and what should it expect in return?’ In other words, as Christos Doumas points out, the philosophy of site preservation should be clearly defined and understood so that public policy aims at both safeguarding of cultural heritage and protecting society from pointless effort and expense. The author is a professor in the Department of History and Archaeology at the University of Athens.
