The difference between normal excavation and bulk excavation can be defined by the amount and area being excavated and and the volume of material removed. A simple excavation example is when a homeowner digs a small ditch along his property. A small amount of grass, plants, roots, rocks, etc. are removed. He may lay a pipe in the trench, then use the volume removed to cover the pipe. In bulk excavation, the land is first cleared of large trees, large boulders/rocks, etc. Large machinery digs out soil, such as in strip mining. If the project involves blasting of rock, other teams proceed with this work before excavation activities continue. Note that landfill of a large area (i.e. filling with dirt, rocks, dead plants) is a form of bulk excavation.
A stone hammer is a tool that is used for breaking and shaping stones or rocks. It is typically used in construction, masonry work, and archaeological excavations to break larger rocks into smaller pieces.
