À propos d'Olbia. Quelques réflexions sur la mise en valeur des sites archéologiques

The conservation of the greek emporion in Olbia raises all the problems encountered when planning works to allow public access to archaeological sites. Between the tenants of romantic ruins and the defendors of a mass cultural tourism lie a wide range of solutions. The choice between restauration, restitution and reconstitution always depends largely of the considered site. Modern imaging technologies offer ways of displaying archaeological sites to a wide public and preserve them from the erosion caused by an excessive circulation.The conservation of the greek emporion in Olbia raises all the problems encountered when planning works to allow public access to archaeological sites.
