A school engineer was instructed to cut down a school banana plantation near the school and plan to build a school main hall there. When he engaged his labourers to dig the foundation, they found lots of materials like undecomposed clothes, soil layers of different colours and rusted metallic materials. This became a historical issue and many methods can be used to find out when these materials were buried and afterwards assess their historical impact.
Support materials: Figures 1.9 and 1.10 below show the soil layers the engineer encountered while digging the foundation of the building.
