Have you ever considered how natural forces might reshape ancient sites long after they were abandoned? This video explores the vital reasons why understanding natural site formation processes is fundamental to archaeology, uncovering their profound impact on the archaeological record.

In this video, we delve into the critical aspects of natural site formation, revealing why they are indispensable for accurate archaeological interpretation:
► Understanding how natural forces like erosion, deposition, and bioturbation alter archaeological remains.
► Distinguishing between human-induced changes and natural disturbances to accurately reconstruct past behaviors.
► Interpreting the integrity and context of artifacts and features affected by post-depositional processes.
► Improving excavation strategies and data analysis by anticipating natural site transformations.
► Recognizing the biases and limitations natural processes can introduce into archaeological interpretations.
