as well as cultural context in which it formed- most archaeologist find it necessary to employ a variety of surveying and sampling techniques just to locate and define the parameters of the site. Once a site has been outlined‚ the next step is excavation. For the modern archaeologist‚ the objective of this research is to maximize the preservation and minimize the destruction‚ all the while abstracting as much information as possible at the time of digging but leaving the site open for future archaeologist

Plot the variation of vertical stress with radial distance (up to 10 m) at a depth of 5 m. 2. Three point loads 10000 KN‚ 7500 KN and 9000 KN‚ act in line 5 m apart near the surface of soil mass. Calculate the vertical stress at a depth of 4 m vertically below the centre (7500 KN) load. 3. Determine the vertical
