Vantagens E Desvantagens Dos Dois Métodos De Escavações (Área Aberta E Método Wheeler) Flashcards
(26 cards)
What is the open area excavation method?
It is a technique that involves excavating large horizontal areas to reveal spatial relationships and artifact distributions.
What is the Wheeler method?
The Wheeler method involves creating a grid system to excavate vertical sections, allowing for detailed stratigraphic analysis.
True or False: The open area method is best for understanding site formation processes.
True
What is one advantage of the open area excavation method?
It allows for the observation of spatial relationships among artifacts and features.
What is one disadvantage of the Wheeler method?
It can result in the loss of context for artifacts if not carefully managed.
Fill in the blank: The Wheeler method is particularly useful for ______ analysis.
stratigraphic
Which method is generally more time-consuming?
The Wheeler method
True or False: The open area excavation method is less suitable for complex sites.
True
What is a key benefit of using the Wheeler method in urban archaeology?
It provides a detailed chronological sequence of layers.
What type of site is the open area method best suited for?
Large, open sites with extensive horizontal distributions of artifacts.
True or False: The Wheeler method can be used to excavate large areas quickly.
False
What is one key feature of the open area excavation method?
It encourages the excavation of large, continuous areas without predefined grid patterns.
In which method is it easier to identify and preserve features?
The open area method
What is a challenge faced by the open area excavation method?
It may lead to difficulties in managing stratigraphy.
Fill in the blank: The Wheeler method is often preferred for ______ sites.
deeply stratified
What is a common criticism of the open area excavation method?
It can overlook important vertical context.
True or False: The Wheeler method allows for easier documentation of stratigraphic layers.
True
Which method is more effective for training new archaeologists?
The open area method
What is an advantage of the Wheeler method regarding artifact recovery?
It allows for a more systematic recovery of artifacts within distinct layers.
Fill in the blank: The open area method is often used in ______ archaeology.
site survey
What is one of the main goals of the Wheeler method?
To create a detailed record of the site’s stratigraphy.
True or False: The open area excavation method is less flexible than the Wheeler method.
False
Which method is typically better for analyzing artifact distributions across a site?
The open area method
What is a potential drawback of the Wheeler method in terms of time?
It can be very time-consuming due to the meticulous nature of stratigraphic excavation.
