Excavation is the process of removing soil and other materials from a site to create the foundation for new structures. It is a complex and important process that requires a great deal of expertise to ensure the project runs smoothly and safely.
Excavations often involve the removal of earth, sand, rocks and other debris. They also require careful planning to ensure that the site is not damaged during construction and that all safety measures are followed.
Site Survey
Archeologists begin the excavation process by conducting a site survey, which enables them to identify areas of interest and determine the extent of the work required. This may include analyzing geological and geophysical data, conducting test pits and other exploratory work.
Stratigraphy
The layers of soil at an archaeological site tell a story of how the site has changed over time. The layering is the result of human and natural activity such as erosion, gardening, trash dumping and land-filling.
Features
During an archaeological dig, archaeologists will encounter features such as wells, burials, trash pits and building foundations. These features are the results of human actions and can give an indication of when specific artifacts were buried.
Field recording
It is essential to record field notes and other data that are found during an excavation. The information can then be used to build up a full picture of the site. This can then be published in a written report. This becomes the archaeologist’s primary source of information for future research.
