Abstract :

Archaeology has changed the boundaries of knowledge of the human past from very limited oral literature and written history to a three-million-year history. Despite this, archaeological excavations also means the destruction of ancient monuments, unless the principles of exploration and information recording operations are followed very scientifically and accurately. Therefore, the purpose of this article is to express information about the issues and problems that an archaeologist practically faces when exploring in ancient cemeteries. Especially since today most of the members of archeology are students and since there has been no case-by-case article written about the method of exploring the cemetery for the use of students, it seems that this article can be a small step for students to take big steps.
