Training excavation is a process where people learn how to carefully dig in the ground to find things that may have been hidden for a long time. Think of it like playing a game of treasure hunt!
Before we can start digging, we need to make sure that we don't damage anything precious or important that might be hiding in the ground. So, we have to use special tools and equipment to make small holes in the ground and carefully check what's inside without touching it.
We also need to make sure that we are not digging in the wrong place. So, we need to use maps or other clues to know where to dig. Sometimes, we might even think we found something really exciting, but we have to stop and check with other experts to be sure that it's worth digging up.
Once we know where to dig, we use special techniques to dig and remove the dirt carefully. We start by digging a small area, and then we use tools like brushes and even toothpicks to remove dirt from the object we found.
We have to be very careful because sometimes the objects we find can be very old and fragile. And if we're not careful, we can cause a lot of damage to them. We also have to be very patient because it can take a long time to find anything really cool.
When we're done, we might have found an old piece of pottery or even dinosaur bones! This helps us learn more about history and how the world used to be a long time ago. And who knows, maybe one of us will even discover something that has never been seen before!
