Anglasweorc: Difference between revisions

===Modern preservation efforts===

Interest in the weorc waned slightly following the 1920s and 30s due to the majority of the weorc having been uncovered. Secondary defensive ditches and structures were discovered in 1967 in heavily forested areas, leading to a third wave of interest in the weorc. Through the 60s, much of the weorc was owned by private owners or municipalities and designated as parks, and a political effort to nationalize the weorc succeeded by 1976, creating the National Border Preserve (NDP) that year. With government ownership came an influx of new archaeologists and historians. Much restoration and preservation work began in the late 1970s, with a focus on undoing much of the earlier "restoration" efforts and creating a truly preserved historical weorc, and secondary defensive structures are continually found every few years. Historians have also begun to focus on the non-archaelogical side of the weorc's history, collecting primary and secondary source documents related to it, ranging from toll rate decrees to orders for conscript maintenance on the weorc issued in the medieval period. Today, the weorc remains part of the National Border Preserve and is Anglei's largest tourist draw.
