	Feature - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In archaeology a feature refers to any dug, built or dumped evidence of human activity.
		In image processing, a feature is a picture element which can be used for recognition.
		In phonetics and phonology, a distinctive feature is a property of a certain sound (phone) or of a certain phoneme.

	Feature (archaeology) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In archaeology, the term feature is generally used to refer to any nonportable remnant of human activity, such as a hearth, road, or house remains, later found or recovered by some archaeological endeavor.
		Prehistoric features may include hearths, some types of grinding slabs, structural remnants, burials (human and otherwise), and middens; historic features may include structural remnants, traditional roads, railroads, ornamental objects such as statues, kilns, docks and piers, and the like.
		Features are distinguished from artifacts, which are generally small and portable.

		Amy and Annie excavated Feature 239 O that was a basin shaped feature near feature 239 N on the eastern side of the house structure.
		This feature was identified because of the pottery cluster that protruded from the ground surface.
		Feature 261 was an oval shaped pit that contained a large amount of pottery on the eastern side and numerous flakes in the center and western portion of the feature.

	Paleoethnobotany - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The matrix (the soil from a suspected archaeological feature) is slowly added to agitated water.
		An archaeologist may find features at the site that indicate some sort of semi-permanent dwellings (such as post holes and middens).
		Such an analysis of the archaeological features could suggest a society of hunter-gatherers who inhabited the site on a more-or-less year-round basis.

		Two other anomalies (9) on roughly the same alignment suggest partly robbed walls, whereas a prominent feature (10) is indicated by a high resistance anomaly which appears to continue north as a low resistance feature where it cuts through the rectangular building or paving (8).
		It is true that the line of this feature is closer to that of the other street-grid to the north of the 'diagonal road' but it is hardly likely that the regular street-grid to the south of it would be interrupted by a road on a totally different alignment.
		Even so, it is evident that the majority of features (excluding the anomalous feature in area C (11)) conform to the orientation of the street-grid expected south of the 'diagonal road' and confirm its existence.

		Feature F appears to correspond to the cistern-kitchen building associated with the Smith-Sturdy cottage shown on the 1840 map attributed to Charles Howe (Figure 1).
		The long axis of Feature F is actually oriented northeast, but for convention and ease our grid north is aligned with the long axis of the foundation.
		Although the archaeological record is uneven, the rich and complex history of Feature F will be revealed through meticulous archaeology which emphasizes careful vertical control and the recognition of spatial patterning and through the detailed examination of artifacts mapped and documented in situ.

		Feature 8 was exposed at the western end of Trench 2 after the mechanical removal of plowzone deposits.
		The feature could represent a root cellar or storage pit within a Civil War shelter associated with the Union occupation of City Point prior to and during the siege of Petersburg.
		The floor of the excavated feature was uneven, with the western side of the feature being at least 20 cm deeper than the eastern side.

		Perhaps the single most important development for archaeology in the 20th century was the discovery of radiometric dating - and of radiocarbon dating in particular.
		This current does not pass through the archaeological features themselves unless they are porous, but it is conducted through mineral ions dissolved in the water held in the soil.
		The ultimate aim of geophysics is to produce a complete 3-D model of buried archaeological features that goes beyond the 2-D plans provided by traditional earth-resistance and magnetic surveys.

	Posthole - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In archaeology a posthole is a cut feature used to hold a surface timber or stone.
		Packing stones are often present in postholes and it is not uncommon to encounter them dug in to earlier ditch features.
		If a post was purposefully removed, then the action of rocking it back and forth leaves tell-tale evidence in the profile of the posthole which archaeologists can recognise.

		The goals of this investigation were to completely excavate the second large pit feature (Feature 00-32) (which was originally identified during the fall 2000 Field Experience program); to identify and sample additional features; and to determine if a stockade (i.e., defensive enclosure) existed around the site.
		This feature was a large circular pit that measured 175 cm in diameter and approximately 40 cm deep.
		Feature 01-12, located along the terrace edge of the eastern portion of the site, appears to be a remnant of midden (deposits of assorted village refuse).

		Archaeology is relevant when somebody tells me that the patriarchal material in Genesis reflects the realities of the second millennium B.C. Then archaeology is in full steam to prove that he is wrong.
		In classical Biblical archaeology, the idea was that you followed the ancient history of Israel from early to late (in the Biblical order of events), with archaeology at times decorating and at times correcting the story.
		So then the whole business of archaeology is to find a way to tie the relative chronology that we have established, from pottery and stratigraphy, to tie it into a system of absolute chronology.

		This is a distant proposition however as although the presence or absence of archaeological remains can sometimes be suggested by remote sensing, such as ground-penetrating radar, the understanding of features and retrieval of artefacts can only be undertaken through invasive methods.
		A strategy for sampling the features can then be formulated which may involve total excavation of each feature or only portions.
		Each excavated feature is recorded through being drawn in plan and section.
