Best Answer
Archaeologists make painstakingly detailed maps of their sites because the location (and particularly depth) of any find is an important clue as to how old an artifact is or what its particular use was. Maps and plans also help archaeologists gain a perspective of how all the different features of a site (buildings, ditches, rubbish pits and artifacts) fit together as a whole which can help the interpretation not only of the site as a whole but also the elements within it.
