Answer

Why is archaeological supervision important during earthworks in Mallorca?

Archaeological supervision helps protect buried remains such as wells, cisterns and older building layers before they are damaged or filled in. On heritage sites in Mallorca, earthworks can uncover evidence that is part of the property’s history and legal protection. Without that supervision, important traces of the past can be lost without documentation.
