Archaeological deposits

Archaeological deposits are accumulations of materials such as artifacts, pottery, bones, or plant remains left by past human activities. These deposits form in the ground over time as people lived, worked, or died at a site. They provide valuable clues about ancient cultures, daily life, and historical events. Archaeologists analyze these deposits to understand how people once interacted with their environment, what they ate, what tools they used, and how societies evolved. Essentially, archaeological deposits are the stuff that has been buried and preserved beneath the surface, offering a window into the distant past.
