    Common sense would tell me that is basically archaeology in itself? Thought it was all about finding artifacts......."salvaging" or "rescuing" them?

    I thought it had something to do with preventing people from destroying historical sites ie building on them.

    Rescue archaeology takes place before old buildings/sites are replaced by new ones. archaeologists go in and try to rescue facts/artefacts from the old site and see if there is anything more that they can learn from the place.

    Thanks, i had a guess and wrote something along those lines, i made it vague though, in the hope that the examiner would give me the benefit of the doubt that i knew it and give me the marks!
