Cultural Stratigraphy

Cultural stratigraphy is the study of layers of human activity within archaeological sites. It works like a chronological record, where different layers of soil or sediment represent distinct periods of culture, habitation, and use. By analyzing these layers, researchers can uncover how societies evolved over time, understand past lifestyles, and track changes in technology and traditions. Each layer acts as a time capsule, helping archaeologists piece together the history of human civilization and its development across different eras.
