Question 2
You have decided to excavate the site of Teotihuacan in the Valley of Mexico. It covers some 20 square kilometers and at one time housed up to 100,000 people. You have an unlimited budget. As a professional archaeologist, you elect to
a. excavate the entire site so as to be able to reconstruct, as much as possible, what individuals were doing at this site in the past
b. map the site first, then stratify the sample universe (the site) based on the architecture recorded by the mapping project, and excavate a random sample of the buildings in each of these, leaving a large portion of the site for future archaeologists
c. excavate just the areas around the large temples to reconstruct the lives of the elites.
d. ignore the temples and elite residences and focus a random sample procedure on the houses that architecturally appear to be those of commoners.
e. excavate the entire site, but leave some excavated artifacts and ecofacts behind for future archaeologists
