【 摘 要 】

The preservation and protection of archaeological sites are issues that, for many years, have retained importance among a wide range of specialists. Over the centuries, archaeological sites have changed dramatically owing to natural processes, military conflicts and different economic activities. Nowadays, Latvian hill-forts are without visible wooden structures, and medieval castles have become ruins, but they still retain their historical and scientific significance, and have become an integral part of the landscape. How can we protect and make them relevant and interesting to the general public? This article reviews several examples of how archaeological sites are protected and presented in Latvia.
