Would be interested to know why archaeologists abandoned this site a couple of years ago, I believe if it can be preserved it should.

Wow the first persons reponce in that article is increidble.

Its political possibly. The digs are all state run.

Usually it is profitable for countries to conserve their historical digs. It makes for great tourism. However, the photo doesn't look interesting, so maybe the area can be better used for development.

Ancient historical sites should be preserved for coming generations.

It's too bad war and greed for the present get in the way.

Good point, seems that is how it is everywhere, nothing is important any longer unless it's the bottom line.
