Excavation Units



Each block in the checkerboard pattern shown here also happens to be anexcavation unit, 10 by 10 feet in size, called a square. Eachsquare is named after the grid coordinate of its southeast corner. Asthe mouse is moved over the map, the name of the square to which thearrow points is displayed in the box below the map. The nameschange in accordance with the grid. Because north is at the top of the map, each square's name is taken from its lower right corner.
