10. Excavation is the process of looking under the ground at artifacts and the structure of the earth. Excavation involves digging and recording. Artifacts that are uncovered must then go through a process of identification.
11. Why is it important to identify and examine your findings? What might disrupt the site and why would that be such a bad thing? What if you find objects from another place such as Greece or Egypt in a Roman site? What does this tell us?
12. How did the past get underground? How do archaeologists find out the date of a site or objects in a site? Why is it important to know the dates?
