The article, "Archaeological excavation," needs to be improved because more citations need to be added and the article may be more technical than some readers can handle. These suggestions were made in the banner at the top of the article.

Archaeological excavation refers to the process of uncovering material from beneath the Earth's surface.

In the past, archaeological excavation involved random digging to unearth artifacts. Exact locations of artifacts were not recorded, and measurements were not taken. Modern archaeological excavation has evolved to include removal of thin layers of sediment at a time as well as recorded measurements about artifacts' locations in a site.

Archaeological context refers to where an artifact or feature was found as well as what the artifact or feature was located near. Context is important for determining how long ago the artifact or feature was in use as well as what its function may have been.
