In addition, the program will emphasize the reasons for selecting sites for preservation, and the methods for successful management and conservation of a site's significance. By the end of the course, students should be able to understand and apply a planning process based on the recognition of a site's values and of its interest groups, or stakeholders. Students will also learn practical methods for the physical conservation of different categories of archaeological sites.
