For this reason, archaeologists are increasingly concerned with making soil usable as a source and archive for their research, documenting it and preserving it as cultural heritage.  3, record 1, English, - archaeological%20record

[...] les sites archéologiques sont fragiles et irremplaçables. Aujourd'hui, la province et ses administrations municipales œuvrent ensemble à leur conservation, mais cela n'a pas toujours été le cas.
