Structure Reconstruction

Reconstructing archeological structures will always involve a lot of educated guesswork: it's like putting together a puzzle when you don't have all the pieces. Or, more accurately, when you don't have all the pieces, you don't know what the end picture should look like, quite a few pieces are from entirely different puzzles, and if you get it wrong you can set puzzle making back decades. Yet it's also one of the most common and engaging types of archaeological visualization - and one that has a lot of value in understanding what the past may have looked like.

The past will always be an invention of the present - the best we can do is try to be honest to the data and honest to ourselves. Archeology is an imperfect science - but that's what makes it fun!
