Cut (archaeology) (original) (raw)
In archaeology and archaeological stratification, a cut or truncation is a context that represents a moment in time when other archaeological deposits were removed for the creation of some feature, such as a ditch or pit. In layman's terms, a cut can be thought of as a hole that was dug in the past, though cut also applies to other parts of the archaeological record such as horizontal truncations like terraced ground. A cut context is sometimes referred to as a "negative context", as opposed to a "positive context". The term denotes that a cut has removed material from the archaeological record or natural at the time of its creation, as opposed to a positive context, which adds material to the archaeological record. A cut has zero thickness and no material properties of its own and is defi

| dbo:abstract | In archaeology and archaeological stratification, a cut or truncation is a context that represents a moment in time when other archaeological deposits were removed for the creation of some feature, such as a ditch or pit. In layman's terms, a cut can be thought of as a hole that was dug in the past, though cut also applies to other parts of the archaeological record such as horizontal truncations like terraced ground. A cut context is sometimes referred to as a "negative context", as opposed to a "positive context". The term denotes that a cut has removed material from the archaeological record or natural at the time of its creation, as opposed to a positive context, which adds material to the archaeological record. A cut has zero thickness and no material properties of its own and is defined by the limits of other contexts. Cuts are seen in the record by virtue of the difference between the material it was cut through and the material that back-fills it. This difference is seen as an "edge" by the archaeologists on site. This is shown in the picture (Fig. 1), where a half sectioned Saxon pit has had half its backfill removed and we can clearly see a difference between the ground the pit was cut into, and the material originally filling the pit. Sometimes these differences are not clear and an archaeologist must rely on experience and insight to discover cuts. (en) In Archeologia e stratificazione archeologica, un taglio (in inglese cut) o troncamento (in inglese truncation) è un che rappresenta un momento nel tempo in cui altri depositi archeologici furono rimossi per la creazione di alcune caratteristiche (feature), quali un fossato o una fossa. In termini semplici, un taglio può essere visto come uno scavo effettuato in passato, sebbene il termine taglio possa applicarsi anche ad altre parti del deposito archeologico, come ad esempio troncamenti orizzontali quali i terreni terrazzati. Un contesto di taglio è talvolta definito "contesto negativo" in contrapposizione al "contesto positivo". Il termine indica che un taglio ha rimosso del materiale del deposito archeologico o del materiale naturale al momento della sua creazione, in opposizione a un contesto positivo, in cui si aggiunge materiale a un deposito archeologico. Un taglio ha spessore nullo e nessuna proprietà di materiale ed è definito dai limiti di altri contesti. I tagli si individuano nel contesto in virtù della differenza tra il materiale in cui il taglio è stato realizzato e il materiale di riempimento che lo ha chiuso.Questa differenza è visibile dagli archeologi in campo come un "bordo". Si può vedere questo nella immagine di Fig. 1, in cui da una fossa sassone si è rimossa metà del suo , mettendo chiaramente in luce la differenza tra il terreno in cui la fossa fu scavata ed il materiale che in origine la colmò.Spesso queste differenze non sono così evidenti e gli archeologi devono basarsi sulla loro esperienza e sul loro intuito per individuare i tagli.
