Architectural heritage in archaeological sites is valuable not only for the information it embodies but also for being a resource that cannot be renewed. This irreversible information resource should be protected with its authenticity as much as possible. Can we really do it? The current situation of 20th century interventions performed on architectural heritage in archaeological sites has demonstrated the necessity of re-thinking the existing approach to conserved and restored architectural findings on sites. Thus, it is important to maintain the already known monuments as much as the newly excavated architectural monuments. Like the ongoing process of preserving archaeological heritage, the future of 20th century interventions should be discussed as well. This research is dealt with in two main sections. The first section aims to classify the current situations of the early interventions and to propose a theoretical procedure for practice on archaeological sites based on re-thinking/re-restoration of the existing deteriorations and authenticity problems. The second section aims to point out the new possibilities of documenting and presenting the layers of 20th century interventions on monuments in archaeological sites, by using digital representations.
