Preserving archaeological remains in situ is one of the main objectives of the Valletta Treaty, which was signed by the Dutch government in 1992. Subsequently, preservation in situ has become one of the pillars of archaeological heritage management in the Netherlands. Another objective of the Treaty is the promotion of heritage education and raising of public awareness for the protection and investigation of archaeological heritage. Until recently, this goal has received too little attention. The design and building of an underground visitor centre, DOMunder, raised an important question: How can we transform an archaeological monument into an asset for the community and at the same time ensure long-lasting preservation? Not many parallels exist, as most archaeological sites in urban environments are seen as a burden for development. Sites are generally either excavated or left in situ; in both cases the archaeology remains invisible and inaccessible to the public. In the case of DOMunder, the location in a wet sedimentary environment provided even more challenges. This paper focuses on a few of the many questions and problems that were raised before and during the building process and the (preliminary) answers and solutions.

将考古学的新意识和公众支持与考古纪念碑的原地保护相结合

原地保存考古遗迹是1992年荷兰政府签署的《瓦莱塔条约》的主要目标之一。随后，原地保存已成为荷兰考古遗产管理的支柱之一。该条约的另一个目标是促进遗产教育和提高公众对考古遗产的保护和调查的意识。直到最近，这个目标还很少受到关注。地下游客中心DOMunder的设计和建造提出了一个重要问题：我们如何才能将考古纪念碑变成社区的资产，同时又能确保长期保存？由于城市环境中的大多数考古遗址被视为发展的负担，因此没有太多相似之处。场地通常是开挖的或留在原地的。在这两种情况下，考古学仍然是公众看不见的。对于DOMunder，在潮湿沉积环境中的位置提出了更多挑战。本文着重讨论在构建过程之前和期间提出的许多问题和问题中的几个，以及（初步）答案和解决方案。
