Artifacts are moved to museums after the excavations in order to provide an
indoor protection, while the immovable findings remain exposed to
environmental conditions and human activity. In order to conserve these
architectural remains made of vulnerable material, mosaics and wall paintings in
situ, covering structures are designed offering temporary or long-term
sheltering, preserving and exhibiting facilities. The aim of the study is to
evaluate these protective structures. In this study, national and international
approaches in the conservation of archaeological sites are studied in order to
form the theoretical framework. Following the theoretical research, problems
facing excavation sites, in situ conservation, interventions and the presentation
of the archaeological sites are studied. New building in an archaeological site is
discussed in architectural and conservation perspectives and evaluation criteria
are defined. Selected cases are studied according to their material selection,
functional and physical efficiency, compatibility with the remaining and its urban
context in terms of the determined principles. The study is concluded with the
general remarks for a new protective structure for the preservation and
presentation of the architectural remains in an archaeological site.
