Subject: Reconstructions in Proximity to Original Sites

I am looking for examples of historic site reconstructions that are
positioned in proximity to the structure's original (excavated) sites. I am
aware of the reconstructed Ft. Seminoe (in Wyoming) which was erected a
short distance from the excavated foundations of the original fort. Does
anyone know of other similar examples of this method of preservation and
interpretation?

Thanks for the help.
