Stratigraphic excavation

Stratigraphic excavation is a careful archaeological method that involves digging through different layers of soil or sediment to uncover historical artifacts and features. Each layer represents a period of time, with the upper layers generally being more recent than the deeper ones. By analyzing these layers, archaeologists can understand the chronological sequence of past human activity and environmental changes. This systematic approach helps preserve the context of artifacts, ensuring that their age and relationships are accurately interpreted for reconstructing history.
