Abstract: The situation of interventions performed during the 20th century in archaeological sites demonstrated the necessity to define an approach for the restored architectural findings. It is important to sustain the intervened monuments as much as the new excavated architectural monuments. Like the ongoing process of preserving archaeological heritage, it should be discussed the future of recent interventions as well. In this research, the theoretical background of conservation and restoration of archaeological monuments carried on during the 20th century has been examined. After the chronological examination of conservation theories, the current situation of the recent interventions has been detected and most common issues categorized under two subtitles, i.e., physical problems and authenticity problems. Hence, a theoretical procedure for practice on archaeological sites based on re-restoration is proposed. The procedure consists on the following steps: i) documentation, ii) analysis, iii) planning of re-restoration, iv) practice of re-restoration, v) interpretation and presentation.
