We Are Somewhat Like Indiana Jones

Indiana Jones is an archaeologist, we are excavators. Somehow the same.

Being an archaeologist is not like an Indiana Jones movie as you won't get chased by giant boulders or have to rescue fair maidens from the perils of ancient tombs. You should know that.

Archaeology is a bit like putting together a puzzle that has lots of pieces missing. And while being an archaeologist is sometimes like being a treasure hunter, it's a lot more like being a detective.They look at the things people from long ago left behind - their houses, clothes, bones, tools, dishes and even their garbage! In fact, a garbage site is one of the best places to find artifacts from the past. Those artifacts are clues that archaeologists use to “fill in the puzzle” about how the people in particular places lived their day to day lives.

Maybe you are thinking, what does this archaeology thingy have to do with our business? 

Simple. The word archaeology comes from a Greek word “archeo-logia” which means the study of the ancient excavations and remains. Hence, archaeologists excavate and dig stuffs. And  that is what we exactly do here in Micro Excavations, we cater under house excavation and we are very renowned amongst all pool companies on the whole Gold Coast. And we are also the leading supplier of bobcats and mini excavators on the Gold Coast. We have been providing tight and limited access excavation services to the community as we are known for offering superior speed and manoeuvrability.

Archaeologists do not have as much excitement and danger in their lives as portrayed in the Indiana Jones movies, but it still can be pretty exciting when they do piece together a puzzle and discover something new, but here in Micro Excavations, our friendly team of excavators help you not only discover but even build something new!
