Stratigraphy
2 reportsStratigraphy is an archaeological method used to locate, date, document, sample, or interpret material evidence. Reliability depends on field recording, context control, and chronological method; biased samples, violated assumptions, or measurement error can narrow what the result establishes.
Coverage distinguishes how sampling and context; calibration or reference data; and spatial or chronological resolution shape the interpretation of Stratigraphy. The analysis begins with calibration standards for spatial or chronological resolution, and uses blind or comparative tests to identify where the explanation succeeds or fails; the conclusion remains provisional because disturbance, contamination, and incomplete context can narrow what the method establishes.
