What is an excavation?

In archeology, excavation refers to the process of analyzing the natural and anthropic stratigraphies that settle in a certain place.

The excavation process consists of removing the deposits in the reverse order of how they have been formed.

Excavation will be understood as the process of excavating and removing volumes of earth or other materials for the conformation of spaces where foundations, water tanks, concrete, masonry and sections corresponding to hydraulic or sanitary systems will be housed according to project plans.

Excavation is one of the most frequent procedures in archeology and geology. In this way objects of the past can be unearthed and brought to light.

When an excavation is developed, layers of soil are removed in the reverse order of their formation (since the layers closest to the surface are the least ancient).

The excavation always implies a certain degree of destruction because the original position of the sediments ceases to exist.
