Excavation - Hakutsu

Japanese: 発掘 - はっくつ

The basic task of archaeology is the excavation of ruins and artifacts. These are revealed in a state closest to the time when they were made and used, and the living conditions and behavior of people at that time are explored from the state of the remains. The excavation site is determined by surveying, boring, underground exploration, etc., and excavation areas are set up and excavated according to the strata. Artifacts and remains are objectively recorded, detailed survey maps of their excavation conditions are created, and sampling is carried out to restore the paleoenvironment. Once the excavation is completed, an excavation report is published.

考古学の基本的作業で，遺跡，遺物を掘り出すこと。それらが作られ使用された時代に最も近い状態で出現させ，遺存の状態からその当時の人間の生活状態や行動を探究する。測量，ボーリング，地下探査などによって発掘地点を決定，発掘区を設定して層位に従い掘下げる。遺物，遺構については客観的に記録し，それらの出土状況の詳細な測量図を作成し，古環境復元のためのサンプリングを行う。発掘調査の終了後発掘報告を発表する。
