Summary
DescriptionMesa Grande 2011-03-19 3856.JPG
English: A member of the Southwest Archaeology Team excavates matrix materials from a test pit. The square hole is not a room, and the edges of the pit are not actual walls. The material removed from the pit is where artifacts are recovered from, and the partitions between the pits are where the archaeological stratification is exposed and left in situ to preserve the archaeological record. The pit is dug until sterile subsoil is found.
