Cultural Layer

    A cultural layer is a layer of earth on sites of human habitation containing traces or remains of man’s activities. As the sequence of cultural layers shows the progression of time, it provides vital information for archaeological research into cultural development. There are four strata in the Shihsanhang archaeological site from top to bottom. The top layer is the accumulation of contemporary culture, and the modern cultural layer is the accumulation of the Qing Dynasty and the Japanese colonial period. The Shihsanhang cultural layer is the accumulation of artifacts of the people of Shihsanhang, and the fourth is raw clay with no traces of human settlement.



文化層



文化層是指過去人類生活遺留的遺物、遺跡，在地層中堆積形成的一個地層層序，由於文化層的上下堆積具有時間演進的概念，文化層的堆疊次序為考古學研究文化發展的重要依據。十三行遺址的地層，由上而下分為四層：表土層為現代文化堆積；近代文化層為清代及日治時期文化堆積；十三行文化層為十三行人的文化堆積；以及沒有人類居住痕跡的生土層。
