'''Stratigraphy''' or '''stratification''' in [[archaeology]] refers to the study of the layering of successive levels of soil and other material within a site.  Unlike [[geology]], archaeological stratigraphy is a record of human activities and behavior, and is sometimes the only method of which a history of a particular human society can be recovered.
