Revegetation: The Soft Approach to Archeological Site Stabilization

This Technical Brief is the third in a series that addresses the issues of archeological site stabilization and protection. Each Technical Brief in the series describes a potentially useful technique for maintaining the integrity of an archeological deposit. This series, and the complementary Technical Notes assembled by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Waterways Experiment Station in its Archeological Sites Protection and Preservation Notebook, are designed to provide baseline data for the initiation of site stabilization projects. The use of vegetation always should be considered a viable means of site protection when developing a set of stabilization alternatives.

本技术简报为系列报告的第三篇，聚焦考古遗址（archeological site）加固与保护相关议题。本系列每篇技术简报均介绍一种可用于维持考古遗存（archeological deposit）完整性的实用技术。本系列报告，以及由美国陆军工程兵团水道实验站在其《考古遗址保护与留存手册》中汇编的配套技术说明，旨在为遗址加固项目的启动提供基准数据。在制定遗址加固方案时，植被应用始终应被视为一种切实可行的遗址保护手段。
