(P2) After 30 years of excavation, Sir Arthur Evans revealed most of the palace and then restored some of the architecture in Knossos. The area that the site covered was immense, possibly connecting to the story of the labyrinth maze in Homer’s Iliad. There was a…

The soil in the middle of excavation area is cut, leaving others to retain the deflection of diaphragm walls. This allows access to even farthest end without impeding the construction of struts and slabs. The dimension of the channel is determined by the space required by excavator and earth hauler. Also, the remaining soil should suffice the support required by diaphragm walls for deflection control. Thus, part A2 was completed using four vertical excavation stages of construction. Interference…

1. The construction of a new road alignment from the intersection of Childers Cove Road and Mathiesons Road running diagonally to the Great Ocean Road (see Figure 2); 2.

Modern Archeologists have a range of different non-intrusive archeological survey techniques available to them when locating and interpreting a site for excavation. These techniques prove useful in locating sites before any excavation is needed and can also assist during the excavation process. They help bring many mediums of data together to make a clear report of the archeological site and any finds that lead from that. The techniques include but are not limited to, looking at historic maps,…

Central Manitoba on the eastern bank of the Red River and near the St. Andrews rapids, it is approximately 17 kilometers north of the perimeter Winnipeg. This indicates that this site is within the natural region of the Red River Basin. While this excavation was performed in early summer, the frost free period for the Lockport site is only 100 to 110 days out of the year. As well, the yearly precipitation is approximately 514 millimeters. The flora and fauna for this area is fairly extensive…

Impacts of “Kestrel storm diversion pipe” excavation and implementation: The excavation of the channel for the Kestrel storm diversion pipe will result in the temporary removal of habitable land where the channel is dug and around a small area along its length. This is assumed to be from the physical excavated hole, resulting dense and waterlogged soil which is a possible outcome of excavation as well as human presence and construction equipment. Once excavation of the first pipe begins there…

things that made this site so important to the ancient Greeks or anyone who was lucky enough to come and speak with the oracle. Excavations, that began officially in 1892, of the site, now go on to give the modern world the best look it can into what it may have looked like during that time. Many archeologists have been extremely excited to get out and conduct excavations at such a…
