Ian-
You might try researching The Mitchell Site in Mitchell, South Dakota,
U.S.A. (the site # is 39DV2). An enclosed structure, called the
"Archaeodome", was constructed over an ongoing excavation at the site.
Apparently it allows the archaeologists to excavate year-round in full view
of the public, (and presumably interact with the visitors to some degree as
well.)
Best of luck-
