In this paper I will assert the importance of the Homo naledi find in terms of its excavation process and its larger implications for hominin evolution. To support this statement I will explore the innovative technological methods Lee Berger and his team used throughout the research and excavation process and analyse the anatomical similarities and differences between Homo naledi and other hominins living at the time‚ specifically Homo erectus

excavator M318D and the track excavator 329D. The M318 D is a CAT wheel excavator having an engine of C6. The maximum travel speed is 37Km/h. It comes with several work tools which are designed to provide best performance such as excavation‚ extreme excavation‚ excavation leveling‚ ditch cleaning and quick coupler. In addition to that it has outriggers to prevent tripping over. The best part of the wheel excavator is being a road off transportation. On the other hand‚ the 329D is CAT track excavator

Assignment 3 The excavation of El Loro unearthed numerous old artifacts. It uncovered pots‚ bottles‚ textiles‚ grinding stones‚ and numerous other items once used by this lands inhabitants. Based on the law of superposition we know that the stratum furthest down is the oldest and the stratum closest to the surface is the newest. Another fact that we have for excavation is the law of association stating that‚ items near one another or in the same stratum are from the same time period. From those
