Excerpts
Th: stratigraphy–> |
|
The book elaborates in detail the stratigraphic principles set out in previous papers. After a history of the background of stratigraphy in geology and its development in archaeology, Harris explains his four principle of stratigraphy. This culminates in his introduction and explanation of the so-called Harris Matrix - the diagram used to illustrate stratigraphic relations between units. He then goes on to practical concerns about best ways to record stratification, including best kinds of plans and section drawings (based on his recommendation of the single context recording system), and how to create correlations and phasing.
