This study To preserve or not to preserve, an archaeological study on damage to the forest's cultural remains aims to problematize and understand the reasons why damage to ancient and other cultural-historical remains in the County of Västernorrland maintains at a high level, despite the fact that laws concerning ancient monuments have been expanded and strengthened several times since 1942. A hermeneutic qualitative analysis and inductive method is used to increase our knowledge and understanding concerning the underlying processes in order to explain why prehistoric and historic sites continue to be damaged and destroyed. To answer this one has to put Swedish legislation regarding cultural remains in a broader socio-historical context. The result shows that there are more factors that oppose any attempt to protect cultural remains than factors that favor conservation.
