The material dug out in making a channel or cavity.
The process of removing earth, stone, or other materials, usually by digging.
The act or process of removing an area of earth and rock to make room for a foundation.
Digging through the layers of deposits that make up an archaeological site.
The act of taking out material. An open cutting, as in a railway. A hollow or cavity formed by removing the interior substance.
Digging to uncover the remains of buildings and artifacts.
Systematic uncovering and recording of archaeological sites.
the act or process of removing soil and/or rock materials from one location and transporting them to another. It includes digging, blasting, breaking, loading, and hauling, either at the surface or underground.
The mechanical removal of earth material which results in a pit or trench below a reference ground surface. It can be a large pit (such as a basement) or a small trench ( such as a footing).
(EX·ca·VA·tion). In archaeology the process of the systematic removal of matrix, often called a dig, to acquire the data contained within the archaeological record by observation and three-dimensional recording of the provenience and context of the finds therein
the act of digging; "there's an interesting excavation going on near Princeton"
the site of an archeological exploration; "they set up camp next to the dig"
the act of extracting ores or coal etc from the earth
Any area where layers of soil or other material are systematically displaced and recorded in order to examine past human activity.
The principle method of data acquisition in archaeology, involving the systematic uncovering of archaeological remains through the removal of the deposits of soil and other material covering them and accompanying them.
An excavation is sometimes called a dig. You can use whatever word you like best.
Extraction of solid earth material from the ground for mineral mining.
The principal archaeological technique for recovering information about the past. Excavation involves the systematic removal of deposits of soil and other material and making detailed records of the results.
the systematic digging and recording of an archaeological site.
Any man-made cut, cavity, trench or depression formed by earth removal. In practical terms, when a hole is more than 15 feet wide at its base, it is called an excavation. An excavation is wider than it is deep.
is the process of clearing and digging in preparation for the modular. This consists of the foundation, utilities and creating access for necessary equipment for delivery. This includes ditches for water, sewer lines, water, optional electric and telephone connections. The hole is dug out with space to place the foundation, drainage pipes and utilities. Necessary underground connections are dug by the use of a backhoe. If ledge (massive rock) cannot be cleared through conventional means, an expensive method of blasting needs to be employed. The alternative to a full basement can be an above ground basement, crawl space or a partial basement. A lot can be accomplished with clean fill but that can increase your capital expenditure.
to excavate, or dig up and restore
the systematic investigation of an archaeological site
digging out an area of ground to look for evidence of the past
to dig out earth or soil so that a slab will be supported by a subgrade that is hard, uniform and well drained.
Intrusive fieldwork with a clear purpose, which examines and records archaeological deposits, features and structures and recovers artefacts, ecofacts and other remains within a specified area or site. This will lead to both a further programme of Post Excavation and Publication and perhaps further excavation.
Excavation is the process of digging into the earth, for example to find archaeological remains.
The trench which is dug in the ground for the foundation. DESCRIPTION
Removal of earth or rock to create a hole, as for the basement of a house.
digging up of archaeological site to uncover artifacts.
The process of digging or the hole which results.
A systematic process of digging archaeological sites, removing the soil and observing the provenience and context of the finds (both cultural and noncultural) contained within, and recording them in a three-dimensional way.
The process of removing earth, stone, or other materials from land
digging in the earth to find the remains from another time
The process of clearing trees, removing topsoil and grading land before the foundation is laid.
any man-made cut, cavity, trench, or depression in an earth surface, formed by earth removal.
A site that has been dug, exposed, or uncovered by digging; the act of digging.
The process of methodically uncovering and searching for remains of the past. Because an excavation removes any deposits, it destroys a site forever. Archaeological evidence is almost always destroyed if it isn't buried, so excavation plays a large part in recovering this evidence. Some excavation methods are grid layout, open excavation, and quadrant method.
Removal of dirt and trees at a home site in preparation for the foundation.
Hole, pit, hollow or cavity.
Preparing for a foundation to be laid by clearing trees and removing dirt and topsoil. Digging.
The term archaeological excavation has a double meaning.
