Archaeologists rely on the careful excavation interpretation of artifacts in order to explore the past.  The quintessential experience of all archaeologists is the "dig", or field excavation.  In actuality, an excavation is nothing more than very precise, very scientific hole digging.  Archaeologists must measure and record the exact position in three dimensions of an artifact, and also note differences in soil composition, stratification, color, and consistency.  When an arcaheological dig is complete, the researchers must be able to reconstruct the exact locations of all the artifacts and ecofacts that were removed from the site.  Failure to do this results in a loss of context, and ultimately data that are unusable.
