Recently, we have found the remains of an old dig in the British Mandate period by a previous archaeologist who dug at the same spot we’re digging in right now. It’s fascinating that not only do archaeologists uncover the history, but they also investigate and uncover the history of archaeology. This old archaeologist had a distinctly different style than us by the way she laid out her locuses. The type of soil is a very important factor in archaeology since it means that the findings are from a different period or at least a different layer. We now have to separate our findings in certain locuses where we see a clear difference in soil type because of this previous archaeologist’s old work.
