  • Survey Test Pits

    Survey Test Pits

    A large part of the work a CRM Archaeologist does is survey. Spaced 50ft apart, the archaeologist digs a series of holes approximately 35-40cm in diameter down into the sterile sub-soil. The archaeologist screens for artifacts and makes careful notes of the soil levels, called strata, measuring depth, soil color and texture. Doing a large, random sample of STPs in an area can give an archaeologist an idea of what cultural material might be in the soil. Search terms:テストピットテストピットとはanket testipozos [...]

  • One foot in the past

    One foot in the past

    A few million years ago, our ancestors stopped climbing trees and started walking upright, on two feet. To work out how and when this happened, researchers look for fossils — and recently they found a surprising set of foot bones in Ethiopia. The foot is about 3.4 million years old, making it roughly the same age as ‘Lucy’ and her species, Australopithecus afarensis. But while Lucy’s species had feet much like modern humans, the new foot has an opposable big [...]
