Hello all, 

I am in the middle of a public archaeology project where we return to the same site every few months.  I am looking for ways to protect the site between digs without necessarily having to fill in the excavation units between each dig session.  It is also part of a park/museum and we would like to have the site open for visitors and interpretation (we have stone foundations, brick dry well, etc).  We have thought about shoring up the sides of the excavation units.  Also we recently caught someone trying to remove bricks from the exposed top of a small dry well/cistern.  So security is now also an issue.

Any experience, ideas?

thanks,
