Sorry if the flair tag is wrong, but as the title suggests, how do archaeologists find fragile items like these without damaging them? At first I thought they would need shovels or heavy equipment to get below the surface, this however seems like a risky method. Do they find the fragments then later piece them together? Do they use tiny tools and those little brushes all the way down to the extraction point?

Digging for Britain on bbc is worth the watch. They dig all around and gently move stuff. And sometimes they dig all around and bring it to the lab to do it right
