Preiskanals

Preiskanals, also known as pre-excavation surveys, are preliminary investigations conducted before the commencement of an archaeological excavation. These surveys aim to gather information about the site's history, cultural significance, and potential artifacts. Preiskanals are crucial for planning and executing an excavation, as they help identify the site's boundaries, stratigraphy, and any existing structures or features. They also assist in determining the appropriate excavation techniques and methods to be used. Preiskanals can involve various techniques such as geophysical surveys, remote sensing, and ground truthing. The data collected during preiskanals is used to create maps, profiles, and reports that guide the excavation process. By conducting preiskanals, archaeologists can minimize the risk of damaging or destroying artifacts and ensure a more comprehensive and accurate understanding of the site.
