<h1><a name="Prep">Prepping the expedition</a></h1>
Every digsite I've been to, someone has forgotten something and I've never yet been to a dig that hasn't had me hiking to get to it - so gather your gear
and get it to the site the first time. You learn quick that time is money, when you've got a shipful of bandits searching for you the next valley over,
but don't be afraid to clear some space if there are any inconvenient boulders in the way.<br>
<list>
<li>Floodlights (if it's dark)</li>
<li>Wooden trestle tables (for holding tools and finds)</li>
<li>Suspension field generator</li>

<h1><a name="Tools">Knowing your tools</a></h1>
Every archaeologist has a plethora of tools at their disposal, but here's the important ones:<br>
<list>
<li><b>Picks, pickaxes and brushes</b> - don't underestimate the the smallest or largest in your arsenal, each one clears a different amount
of the rockface so each one has a use.</li>
<li><b>Measuring tape</b> - don't leave home without it, you can use it to measure the depth a rock face has been excavated to.</li>
<li><b>GPS locater</b> - knowing where you are is the first step to not be lost.</li>
<li><b>Core sampler</b> - use this to take core samples from rock faces, which you can then run to the lab for analysis.</li>
<li><b>Depth scanner</b> - uses x-ray diffraction to locate anomalous densities in rock, indicating archaeological deposits or mineral veins.
Comes with a handy reference log containing co-ordinates and time of each scan.</li>
<li><b>Radio beacon locater</b> - leave a beacon at an item of interest, then track it down later with this handy gadget. Watch for interference from other
devices though.</li>
<li><b>Flashlight or portable light source</b> - Self explanatory, I hope.</li>
<li><b>Environmental safety gear</b> - This one's dependant on the environment you're working in, but enclosed footwear and pack of internals
could save your life.</li>
<li><b>Anomaly safety gear</b> - A biosealed and catalysis-resistant suit along with eye shielding, tinted hood and non-reactive disposable gloves are
the best kind of protection you can hope for from the errors our forbears may have unleashed.</li>
<li><b>Personal defence weapon</b> - Never know what you'll find on the dig: pirates, natives, ancient guardians, carnivorous wildlife...
it pays in blood to be prepared.</li>
</list><br>
<a href="#Contents">Contents</a>
<h1><a name="Find">Finding the dig</a></h1>
Wouldn't be an archaeologist without their dig, but everyone has to start somewhere. Here's a basic procedure I go through when cataloguing a new planet:<br>
<list>
<li><b>Get in touch with the locals</b> (in particular geologists, miners and farmers) - Never know what's been turned up by accident, then left to
gather dust on a shelf.</li>
<li><b>Check the obvious areas first</b> - even if you're pressed for time, these ones are the generally easiest to search, and the most likely targets
of your rivals.</li>
<li><b>Do some prospecting</b> - the earth mother isn't in the habit of displaying her secrets to the world (although sometimes you get lucky).
Drop a shaft and clear away a bit of surface rock here and there, you never know what might be lurking below the surface.</li>
<li><b>Tips on unearthing a deposit</b> - How do you know when you're golden? Look for telltale white strata that looks strange or out of place, or if
something has broken under your pick while you're digging. Your depth scanner is your best friend, but even it can't distinguish between
ordinary minerals and ancient leavings, if in doubt then err on the side of caution.</li>
</list><br>
<a href="#Contents">Contents</a>
<h1><a name="Analyse">Analysing the contents of a dig</a></h1>
You've found some unusual strata, but it's not all peaches from here. No archaeologist ever managed to pull a bone from the earth without doing thorough
chemical analysis on every two meters of rock face nearby.<br>
<list>
<li><b>Take core samples</b> - Grab a rock core for every 4m^2.</li>
<li><b>Clear around any potential finds</b> - Clear away ordinary rock, leaving your prizes reachable in a clearly marked area.</li>
<li><b>Haul off excess rock</b> - It's easy for a dig to get cluttered, and a neat archaeologist is a successful archaeologist.</li>
<li><b>Don't be afraid to be cautious</b> - It's slower sometimes, but the extra time will be worth the payoff when you find an Exolitic relic.</li>
<li><b>Chemical analysis</b> - I won't go into detail here, but the labwork is essential to any successful extraction. Marshal your core samples, and
send them off to the labcoated geniuses</li>
</list><br>
<a href="#Contents">Contents</a>
<h1><a name="Excavate">Extracting your first find</a></h1>
<list>
<li><b>Scan the rock</b> - Use a depth scanner to determine the find's depth and clearance. DON'T FORGET THESE.</li>
<li><b>Choose stasis field</b> - Chemical analysis on a core sample from the rock face will tell you which field is necessary to extract the find safely</li>
<li><b>Setup field gen</b> - Bolt it down, choose the field, check the charge and activate it. If you forget it, you'll wish you hadn't when that priceless
Uryom vase crumbles as it sees the light of day.</li>
<li><b>FUNCTIONAL AND SAFE digging</b> - Dig into the rock until you've cleared away a depth equal to (the anomaly depth MINUS the clearance range). The find
should come loose on it's own, but it will be in the midst of a chunk of rock. Use a welder or miniature excavation tool to clear away the excess.</li>
<li><b>FANCY AND SPEEDY digging</b> - Dig into the rock until you've cleared away a depth equal to the anomaly depth, but without any of your strokes
entering the clearance range.</li>
<li><b>The Big Find</b> - Sometimes, you'll chance upon something big, both literally and figuratively. Giant statues and functioning remnants of Precursor
technology are just as exciting, to the right buyers. If your digging leaves a large boulder behind, dig into it normally and see if anything's hidden
inside.</li>

<h1><a name="Sample">Sample preparation and analysis</a></h1>
When you are readying your spectrometry lab for analysis, you'll need to make sure the sample is in a form the machines can glean data from.
<list>
<li><b>Obtain material sample</b> - This should be an ordinary chunk of matter the size of your finger, a good example is a 6mm rock core.</li>
<li><b>Run density separation treatment</b> - Perform the DST procedure on your sample, following generic specifications.</li>
<li><b>Ensure sample purity</b> - DST can sometimes leave behind chemical waste or chunks of matter, make sure there aren't any before proceeding.</li>
<li><b>Prepare analysis tray</b> - A sample tray holds a miniscule amount of liquid (2u), but that's all that our spectrometers require for a good reading.</li>
<li><b>Choose carrier reagent</b> - Standard spectrometers require 1u of the material sample, and 1u of a 'carrier' reagent to provide control comparison
and to enable refraction inferencing.</li>
<li><b>Insert sample tray into machine</b> - And press the 'Go' button. Now go make a cup of coffee.</li>
<li><b>Monitor machine heat levels</b> - The upper end mass spectrometers have quite complex internals, and have a tendency to critically overheat.
Make sure the heat limit isn't exceeded, or there may be potentially disastrous consequences.</li>
<li><b>Examine analysis report</b> - it won't always make sense or provide the information you hoped for, but if you've been careful during DST and ensured
sample integrity, then there's always something to be learnt. Just don't lose the paperwork!</li>

<h1><a name="Fourier">Fourier transform spectroscope</a></h1>
The FTS measures temporal coherence of radiating energy, then applies time-and-space domain measurements on the collected emission data. The collective
procedure is known as the <i>Fourier Transform Procedure,</i> with the mathematical algorithms dating back to the 19th century on Earth.<br>
<br>
As well as providing background energy readings, an FTS calculates the approximate distance and direction towards any anomalous energy signatures from
the location the scanned sample was taken from.<br>

<br>
As well as visualising background energy readings, a hyperspectral imager will isolate and identify any anomalous energy signatures in the sample.<br>

<h1><a name="Anomalies">Modern attitude towards anomalies</a></h1>
It's only when confronted with things we don't know, that we may push back our knowledge of the world around us. Nowhere is this more obvious than the
vast and inscrutable mysterious of the cosmos that scholars from such august institutions as the Elysian Institute of the Sciences present
formulas and hypotheses for every few decades.<br>
<br>
Using our vast telescopic array installations and deep space satellite networks, we are able to detect anomalous energy fields and formations in deep space,
but are limited to those that are large enough to output energy that will stretch across light years worth of distance between stars.<br>
<br>
While some sectors (such as the Hydrolian Rift and Keppel's Run) are replete with inexplicable energetic activity and unique phenomena found nowhere else in
the galaxy, the majority of space is dry, barren and cold - and if past experience has told us anything, it is that there are always more things we are
unable to explain.<br>
<br>
Indeed, a great source of knowledge and technology has always been those who come before us, in the form of the multitudinous ancient alien precursors that
have left scattered remnants of their great past all over settled (and unexplored) space.<br>
<br>
It is from xenoarchaeologists, high energy materials researchers and technology reconstruction authorities that we are able to theorise on the gifts these
species have left behind, and in some cases even reverse engineer or rebuild the technology in question. My colleague Doctor Raymond Ward of the
Tyrolian Institute on Titan has made great breakthroughs in a related field through his pioneering development of universally reflective materials capable
of harvesting and 'bottling' up virtually any energy emissions yet encountered by spacefaring civilisations.<br>
<br>
And yet, there are some amongst us who do not see the benefits of those who have come before us - indeed, some among them profess the opinion that there
is no species that could possibly match humanity in it's achievements and knowledge, or simply that employing non-human technology is dangerous and unethical.
Folly, say I. If it is their desire to throw onto the wayside the greatest achievements <i>in the history of the galaxy</i>, simply for preferment of the
greatest achievements <i>in the history of mankind</i>, then they have no business in the establishment of science.<br>
<a href="#Contents">Contents</a>
<h1><a name="Tri">Triangulating anomalous energy readings</a></h1>
Strong energy emissions, when remaining constant from any one fixed location for millenia, can leave an 'imprint' or distinctive energy signature on other
matter composites that are spatially fixed relative to the source.<br>
<br>
By taking samples of such 'fixed' matter, we can apply complex analytics such as the modified Fourier Transform Procedure to reverse engineer the path of the
energy, and determine the approximate distance and direction that the energy source is, relative to the sample's point in space.<br>
<br>
A canny researcher can thusly analyse material samples from pre-chosen points strategically scattered around an area, and if there are any anomalous energy
emissions in range of those points, combined they can direct the researcher to the source.<br>
<a href="#Contents">Contents</a>
<h1><a name="Synthetic">Harvesting and utilising anomalous energy signatures</a></h1>
As mentioned in the forward, my colleague from the Tyrolian Institute on Saturn's moon of Titan, in the Sol System, Doctor Raymond Ward has made great strides
in the area of harvesting and application of the energy emitted by anomalous phenomena from around the galaxy (although I profess I have not yet seen him
venture further from his birthplace on Earth than the comfortable distance of the Sol Cis-Oort Satellite Sphere).<br>
<br>
By employing a patented semi-phased alloy with unique and fascinating bluespace interaction properties, Ward's contraption is able to 'harvest' energy, store
it and redirect it later at will (with appropriate electronic mechanisms, of course). Although he professes to see or desire no commercial or material gain
for the application and use of said energy once it is harvested, there are no doubt myriad ways we can come to benefit from such things beyond mere research,
such as the reconstruction of torn cartiligenous tissue that a peculiar radiation from an amphibious species on Brachis IV was found to emit.<br>
