Excavation Process Sequence
The correct sequence for archaeological excavation follows a systematic approach to ensure accurate recording and preservation of context.
- Grid Layout (B): This is the initial step where the site is divided into a grid system. This grid helps in systematically mapping and recording the location of features and finds across the site.
- Removal of Overburden (A): After establishing the grid, the topsoil or any loose material (overburden) that covers the archaeological deposits is carefully removed. This exposes the upper archaeological layers.
- Identification of Stratigraphy Layers (D): As excavation proceeds layer by layer (stratum by stratum), it's crucial to identify and record the different soil layers. Stratigraphy provides the chronological framework of the site.
- Recovery of Artifacts (C): Artifacts are recovered within their specific stratigraphic context. Careful excavation techniques are used to document the precise location (using the grid system) and depth of each artifact before removal.
Therefore, the logical sequence is Grid layout (B) -> Removal of overburden (A) -> Identification of stratigraphy layers (D) -> Recovery of artifacts (C).
The correct option representing this sequence is B-A-D-C.
