Excavation Pit

    Archaeologists learn about human life in the past through excavations by digging down in a 4 square meter pit to record unearthed cultural relics and phenomena layer by layer. The earth wall between the pits is called a retaining wall, used to observe the strata and as a passageway. Tools involved in the excavation include three categories of excavation tools, such as spades (small flat shovels), bamboo knives and brushes, recording tools such as cameras and grid nets, as well as measuring tools such as benchmarks and compasses.



考古探坑



考古學家藉由考古發掘工作，瞭解過去人類的生活。考古工作是以4公尺*4公尺的探坑往下發掘，並逐層記錄各層位的出土文物及現象。探坑之間的土牆稱為界牆，用來觀察地層及提供工作人員行走。考古發掘工具分為三類：小平鏟、竹刀、刷子等發掘工具；照相機、方格網等紀錄工具；以及標竿、指北針等測量工具。
