因應不同形式的遺跡（例如：寺廟、古城），發展出遺跡挖掘的方式有很多。就像是要報考 TOEFL iBT 或是 TOEIC ，準備方向當然也會有所不同，則需要購買不同題庫和單字書來應考。
這週助教要帶大家來看「考古學研究」文本 Part 1，完整譯文會在下週四（11/24）於眾文粉絲頁發布！敬請鎖定
The exact methods of finding archaeological sites vary, primarily because there are so many different types of sites. Some sites—such as mounds, temples, forts, roads, and ancient cities— may be easily visible on the surface of the ground. Such sites may be located by simple exploration: by an individual or group going over the ground on foot, in a jeep or car, or on a horse, mule, or camel. This kind of survey can be comprehensive—that is, the entire area may be covered—or it can involve the technique of sampling. In sampling, a limited number of strategic spots in the region are checked for signs of an underlying archaeological site. Sampling was not widely used in the United States until the passage of the Archaeological Resources Protection Act of 1979. This act, designed to protect the archaeological heritage of an area, has encouraged archaeological sampling of areas in which archaeological remains might exist that are in danger of being destroyed by construction or by the growth of cities.
