Excavations; before the actual excavations we need to
carry out on the surveys land to be excavated to find out if there is any
archaeology or not, then looking for the site's evidence we dig test pits and
finally carry out the excavation. Once the site is excavated it is lost forever
so excavations should be recorded in detail and the artefacts retreived should
be preserved in a storage house with the archive. Every excavation is carried
out following a digging manual, and then every stage of the excavation is drawn
and photographed. Finds are collected and coordinates recorded. These written
records are to be preserved in compensation for the distroyed sites.
