Siege mining is simply the process of moving as close to the walls of the castle as possible that was under siege and mining-(digging under the walls of the fortification). After a 'mine' was dug under the wall it was supported by wooden beams soaked in pitch,and then the remaining space was filled with brush and anything else that would burn and then set alight. When the support timbers were burned away this would cause the walls to collapse and allow the attackers to enter the castle or fortification. The miners were called sappers because the old term for combat/military mining was called 'sapping the walls'. Sappers are now called combat engineers.
