Does the excavation process make you feel part of the landscape?
"Sometimes, especially in rural locations, not so much in urban areas" Archaeologist
"Yes it literally sucks you in!"
What does the first incision feel like describe your thoughts.
"There is a long way to go!" Gardener
"Slight panic. If a digger is being used there is no going back. Excavating with a spade is less intrusive and you can go back" Garden Designer
"I think how long it must have taken the earth to get there and how quickly it takes me to dig it up" Labourer
If you were to choose one word that would describe how you feel when digging into the earth what would it be?
"Satisfaction"
"Curious"
"Intrusion"
I put together a short questionnaire to obtain insight from individuals who physically excavate the land as part of their work. Here are a few of the interesting comments! Thanks to everyone who took the time to reply.
