BULK COLLECTION

Bulk collection involves the systematic retrieval of all excavated soil from a site. The advantages include the retrieval of a large amount of archaeological remains, allowing for accurate reconstructions, analyses, and interpretations. When bulk collection is utilized, researchers are not confronted with the problem of guessing where valuable materials will be unearthed. Contexts and features that could potentially contain a wealth of information are not overlooked on the basis of visible remains, and collection can be carried out by workers under a minimal amount of supervision. The disadvantage is that bulk retrieval creates a large volume of flot and residue that must later be sorted.
