Soil Sampling and Methods of Analysis Second Edition 2006byTaylor & Francis Group, LLC. In physical science the first essential step in the direction of learning any subject is to find principles of numerical reckoning and practicable methods for measuring some quality connected with it. I often say that when you can measure what you are speaking about, and express it in numbers, you know something about it; but when you cannot measure it, when you cannot express it in numbers, your knowledge is of a meagre and unsatisfactory kind; it may be the beginning of knowledge, but you have ...
School of Distance Education MODULE IV: EXCAVATION AND DATING TECHNIQUES This chapter explores the major methods of excavation and the method of dating. Excavation is a destructive, but most systematic and scientific, documentation of archaeological sites. It is a time consuming and expensive field activity. It requires a group of field archaeology experts include the director, co-directors, trench supervisors, trench assistance, and trained labours. Sampling experts from different disciplines like Geology, Pedology (the study of soil), Petrology (the study of rocks), Paleo-botany, Archaeo-zoology etc is also essential part of a scientific excavation. Mainly three groups of method have developed for ...
