First: Indentify your site
Next: Select your site crew and excavation crew
Then: Be sure to plan ahead and have all materials ready for excavation
Finally: Begin your excavation!

Excavation is the process of looking under the ground at artifacts and the structure of the earth. Excavation involves digging and recording.
Artifacts that are uncovered must then go through a process of identification.
![Page 11: Welcome to archaeology camp at the biblical history](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022052410/547c9ef3b4af9f03718b4591/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Why is it important to identify and examine your findings?
What might disrupt the site and why would that be such a bad thing?
What if you find objects from another place such as Greece or Egypt in a Roman site? What does this tell us?
![Page 12: Welcome to archaeology camp at the biblical history](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022052410/547c9ef3b4af9f03718b4591/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
How did the past get underground?
How do archaeologists find out the date of a site or objects in a site?
Why is it important to know the dates?
![Page 13: Welcome to archaeology camp at the biblical history](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022052410/547c9ef3b4af9f03718b4591/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
As we go through this week, we must be sure to keep very detailed records of what we find. Why do you think this is important?
What kinds of things should we keep a record of?
Keep a journal of your findings! Everyone will get a field journal and record keeping forms to fill out with the information we dig up each day.
•The site name•Photographs of objects as we uncover them
•Objects we find•What the objects are made out of
•The objects’ use•Name, type, identification
•Location of the object within the site•Dimensions of the artifact
•Preservation methods and needs•Features of the artifact•Remarks and theories•Sketch each artifact

What happens to artifacts once they are uncovered?
![Page 15: Welcome to archaeology camp at the biblical history](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022052410/547c9ef3b4af9f03718b4591/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Once the artifacts are uncovered, preserved or conserved & interpreted… What happens next??
Our artifacts will be displayed at the museum in an exhibit created by YOU!

The past was created by individuals with links to many levels, among humanity. The past belongs to everyone, because we are all humans.
The past teaches universal lessons.
It is essential that we ensure the survival of artifacts and relics of our past.
