Low rate of preservation

Reference no: EM13514800

Since on average only 5% of the archaeological record remains intact for archaeologists to recover, what are some of the problems archaeologists confront when interpreting the ancient human past? How do archaeologists structure their investigations to ensure that they have the best possible evidence to address their research questions given such a low rate of preservation? Please be as specific as possible.
