Cultural Layer

(also cultural level), in archaeology, a layer of earth on sites of human habitation containing traces or remains of man’s activities. The thickness of a cultural layer varies from several centimeters to 30–35 m and depends mainly on the length and intensiveness of human activity at the given site. Cultural layers are excavated to study the remains of human activities and to reconstruct the history of a given settlement.
