Archaeological excavation methods
1210
This category is used to index statements on archaeological excavation methods (e.g., Wheeler-Kenyon method, block method); what type of tools were used during excavation; whether or not strata were excavated in natural or arbitrary levels; whether or not the soil was screened, and if so, what size mesh was used; whether or not soil samples were taken for specialized analysis, etc.
This category, term, and scope note were introduced in 1997. The scope note was rewritten completely in 2000.
