Intro to Greek and Roman Archaeology
The law of superposition is a fundamental principle in geology and archaeology that states that in any undisturbed sequence of sedimentary layers, the oldest layers are at the bottom and the youngest layers are at the top. This principle helps archaeologists determine the relative ages of artifacts and features found within these layers, which is crucial for understanding the sequence of human activity over time.
congrats on reading the definition of law of superposition. now let's actually learn it.
