what an excavation site may consist of? (1 Viewer)

hi I'm doing an assigment and it's due Friday!!!

An earthquake disaster has occurred recently in Africa and a team of paleobiologists from Zenta fossils Inc. have been excavating the site after ancient human remains were exposed. Initial reports suggest that the fossils belong to either Australopithecus ramidus or Australopithecus afarensis.

Research and present a 5 minute multimedia presentation to shareholders of Zenta Fossils Inc., on:

* what a site may consist of

^^^^ what do you think they mean here? Any help would be appreciated! I will talk to my teacher tomorrow however in the mean time I was wondering if any of you knew.

no bloody idea, but i say lots of palaeobiologists for a start. perhaps sealed area around the site, maybe mention the equipment, like those little brushes, x-ray machines to photograph the ground to see whats there before they destroy anything. also complette a scan of all disturbed ground within a certain radius for other evidence of ancient life. lots of shovels. bags for evidence, perhaps body bags. also get in a few archaeologidts and palaentologists, anthropologists who specialise in that sort of thing.
permission of the government for evidence found to be kept.
lots of strata, layers within the ground. may go down quite deep. very busy, but careful work.

hope that helps.
