That dig looks like such a cool place to visit! I got to see an indian village excavated when I was a kid but that has been the only dig I've ever seen. The state "found" the site while surveying for Rt. 77 to go through the area. The farmer who owned the land knew it was there all along, just didn't feel the need to tell anyone.
By no means. The wood was usually a walkway across a grid that was marked off by letter (depth) and number (horizontal location). A smaller site from where I took the last picture is clearer:
Now here is that same site as before (just a bit up the road) where you can clearly see one guy working his section of the "grid." Apparently, he found something as there is a person standing there noting where he found it as well as a guy on that metal platform next to him on a computer marking it on a 3D grid (you can only see his foot really):
Wide view of same site:
Maybe the guy found......this! AHHHHHHHHH!

What's placed on the floor at the bottom of the dig? Looks like wood flooring in the picture. Archeologist haven't gone that posh have they?

As long as I am on a posting streak. Valladolid, Spain. I got into one of the biggest dig sites in the world. they dig about a year as they get more fossils than they can processes through the rainy season. Yeah, of course I jumped under the "do not cross" wire! All those white things below are people digging. Structure above is what they already dug away to and pulled down to prevent a cave-in.
AHHHHHHHHH!
