Excavation is like being a treasure hunter. Imagine you are looking for hidden treasures beneath the ground, like bones of dinosaurs or old coins. To find these treasures, you need to dig into the earth. This digging is called excavation. Sometimes, people use big machines like bulldozers or small tools like shovels to help them dig. It’s a bit like digging in the sand at the beach to find seashells, but on a much bigger scale.
Think of excavation as being a detective. You are trying to solve a mystery by uncovering pieces of a big puzzle hidden under the dirt. Each time you find something, it helps you understand what happened a long time ago. Maybe you find a piece of a broken pot or an old sword, and it tells a story about how people lived in the past.
Excavation is also like being a gardener. When you plant a seed, you need to dig a hole to put the seed in. In excavation, you dig to find things that were left behind. It’s a way to discover secrets that the earth has been keeping safe for many, many years.
