| | anastylosis | Explanation:
Anastylosis (from the Ancient Greek: αναστήλωσις, -εως; ανα, ana = "again", and στηλόω = "to erect (a stela or building)") is an archaeological term referring to a reconstruction technique where a ruined monument is restored after careful study and mensuration using original architectural elements where possible. It is also sometimes used in archaeology to refer to use of the same technique in restoring broken pottery and other small objects.
