Cool. I always wanted to see Skara Brae after seeing it in “A History of Britain.”

They have a similar approach at Pompeii, only excavating a little at a time to preserve the opportunity for future archeologists.

I understand the same procedure was used at Sutton Hoo - leaving part of the site untouched for future archologists:

“A substantial part of the gravefield was left unexcavated for the benefit of future investigators and as yet unknown scientific methods.”
