Description
An understanding of Stratigraphy is vital for understanding the context of archaeological material. Stratigraphy is the layers of deposit under the ground and can contain enormous amounts of information for an archaeologist – everything from dating material to understanding which tems belong with which other items, as well as what happened to the site both while it was being used by people and afterwards.
This chapter of the Archaeology Textbook (Ancient History) examines some of the basics of stratigraphy, as well as a glimpse into its complexities. It is aimed at Senior Secondary students.
