There are many approaches to protecting fragile archaeological sites. Here in Malta, instead of reburying excavated sites with sand, they are installing a multi-million dollar tented roof which will mean the site remains accessible to the public whilst, at the same time, the worst of the wind and spray will be avoided. Having said that, the reporter does say that the site is still very unstable so I'm not sure if I'll be visiting just yet!
