The Malta Convention (also known as the Convention of Valletta) is an agreement between European states that they should protect their archaeological heritage. Its main effect is that project developers have to make sure they don't destroy anything of archaeological value when they build something. Hence, since it was signed in 1992, archeology has become part of construction work in many areas in Europe.
