The construction of a sewer line through residential and forested areas isa very common project. With the construction of a sewer project comes the never ending amount of displaced soil. "What is under that soil?" One may ask. An Archaeologist would answer, thousands and thousands of years' worth of potential artifacts and history. That is exactly what can be found in the article I have received. It lays out the groundwork that an archaeologist had to perform before the wastewater management project could even get started. Before one can get into the document, one must have a general knowledge of the construction project and its purpose.
