				            Archaeologists excavate sites so that they can find information and recover archaeological materials before they are destroyed by erosion, construction or changes in land-use.  
  Depending on how complicated and widespread the archaeological deposits are, excavation can be done by hand or with heavy machinery.  Archaeologists may excavate a site in a number of ways; either by open area excavation, by digging a test pit or a trial trench. more ->
