Illustration of the principles of archaeological stratigraphy. Understanding a site in modern archaeology is a process of grouping single contexts together in ever larger groups by virtue of their relationships. The terminology of these larger clusters varies depending on the practitioner, but the terms interface, sub-group, and group are common.

Animation showing interpretive grouping and phasing on matrix diagram. The Harris matrix is a tool used to depict the temporal succession of archaeological contexts and thus the sequence of depositions and surfaces on a 'dry land' archaeological site, otherwise called a 'stratigraphic sequence'.

Stratigraphy is a branch of geology concerned with the study of rock layers and layering (stratification). It is primarily used in the study of sedimentary and layered volcanic rocks . Stratigraphy has three related subfields: lithostratigraphy (lithologic stratigraphy), biostratigraphy (biologic stratigraphy), and chronostratigraphy ...
Marker horizons of tephra are used as a dating tool in archaeology, since the dates of eruptions are generally well-established. [3] One particular bolide impact 66 million years ago, which formed the Chicxulub crater, produced an iridium anomaly that occurs in a thin, global layer of clay marking the Cretaceous–Paleogene boundary.
