We have been experimenting with an exposed feature which is inside a reconstructed structure at one of our site in St. Mary's City. One re-occuring problem with exposed features is moss, mold and algae growth. We have installed a germ i cidal UV lamp which cycles on at night which seems to be keeping the biological activity in check.

I am currently working on a master plan with a landscape architectural 
firm for an archaeological park at the site of a late 18th early 19th c. 
frontier fort in Georgia. The site has an interesting stockade wall 
trench feature with collapsed firebox feature that was probably situated 
within a corner blockhouse. Together these features probably represent 
the SW corner of the fort. I would like to preserve these features for 
visitors to see, but, of course, the features cannot be open to the 
weather. The minimum surface area is about 6' x 12'.  A photo of these 
features can be seen at 
http :// archaeoseek . ning .com/profile/ JamesDAngelo . Does anyone know of an 
example of enclosing such features for public view short of constructing 
a building over them?  Help with this will be greatly appreciated...
