Archaeological Rescue Excavation

Archaeological rescue excavation is a process of quickly uncovering and recording ancient human-made structures or artifacts threatened by construction, natural disasters, or other development activities. It aims to recover valuable historical and cultural information before it is potentially lost or destroyed. Typically conducted on short notice, these excavations involve careful excavation, documentation, and analysis to preserve as much knowledge as possible about the site’s past. This approach helps protect archaeological heritage while allowing modern development to proceed responsibly.
