Introduction. This document provides guidelines for the care of artefacts from the moment they are excavated to the moment they are handed over to the National Museum. On-site preventive conservation will help to ensure the long term preservation of finds and information about their manufacture and use.

Definition. Post , also known as post-fieldwork or lab , refers to the evaluation, interpretation, and recording of materials and data once the fieldwork has ended. It transforms the raw data collected during into a meaningful narrative of the past [2].

Archaeologist is a scientist who studies human history and prehistory through the of , structures, and other physical remains. Archaeologists use a variety of methods and tools, including laboratory , to uncover and interpret the material culture and practices of past societies ...

Archaeology uses scientific principles to its practices. Before beginning to excavate, an archaeologist needs a reason to dig, an plan, and permission from the government of the place being excavated. Although archaeology is usually associated with digging, sometimes the goal is not to excavate, but rather to

Archaeologists date the other evidence they unearth after the is done, interpret the data, and recreate the context and history of the site. Following an examination, archaeologists aim to safeguard the other remains they have unearthed. Conservation procedures include cleaning, stabilizing, and keeping ...

big advantage of new technologies is the highly increasing capabilities and user friendliness over cost ratio, which encourages archaeologists to enter the emerging realm of Digital Archaeology ...

The goal of the project was the creation of a digital model of the medieval church of San Martino (Lomaso, Trento) and the studying of modern in the field. In this I present the processing of the laser scanner data (range data alignment, editing, mesh generation, geometric simplification and texture ...

The purpose of this chapter is to describe the process, defined here as a generalized series of steps or tasks an archaeologist takes to successfully develop, conduct, and complete projects.The term " process," however, is somewhat of a misnomer. The process is not a one-size-fits-all set of rules that one can simply apply to any ...

In archaeology, the first step in conducting field research is to do a survey of an area that has the potential to reveal surface or cultural debris. Surveys can be done by simply walking across a field, or they may involve using various technologies, drones or Google Earth, to search for unusual topography and potential structures that would be difficult to see from the ground.

In the mid 20th century, Sir Mortimer Wheeler, Tessa Wheeler, and later Kathleen Kenyon, revolutionized the field of archaeology with the Wheeler-Kenyon method of . It was first used at Verulamium, a Roman site in England, and refined at Jericho in Israel. The Wheeler-Kenyon method uses a grid-system to organize the process.

The implementation of these modern in cemetery contexts has shifted the development interactions with these sites from haphazard body and tombstone removal to a ...

An is a process of uncovering and documenting the material remains of past human activities. It involves the careful removal of soil and other deposits from a site, the recording of the location and context of the features found, and the interpretation of the data collected.

Since evolution in knowledge and thought stands central in this study, only literary formats in which archaeologists interpret and analyze findings were included. For the period 1945-2017, all Dutch language journal , book series, monographs, Ph.D. theses, and /survey reports were collected.

Areas. The type of area opened in an is determined by its purpose. Small-scale , shovel tests and test pits and trenches, are used in the reconnaissance stage to locate sites or in the evaluation stage to help assign their current value.Shovel tests are the size of a shovel blade say 15 × 15 cm, test pits are 1 × 1 to 4 × 4 m, and test trenches are 1 ...

Archaeology is the investigation of the physical remains of the past. This section describes the methods we use to excavate sites (intrusive investigations) and we use to interpret the deposits and features we discover and the samples and finds that we recover. You can find out more about non-intrusive methods (survey ...
