[QUOTE="Wiley, post: 5802238, member: 15835"] Before no-till was a thing, farmers turned their fields after the Fall harvest. They'd bush hog whatever the harvest left and then pull a turning plow to basically turn the field root side up and let that lay all winter. This did a couple of things. It buried whatever vegetation was on the field and let it rot/build the soil. The exposed the roots killed whatever plant they were a part of. After being left like this from about November until sometime in March the fields were disced and then a section harrow/spike harrow was pulled over them to pulverize clods and level the field for an optimum seedbed ready for planting the Spring crop. The annual turning of the fields is what brought artifacts to the surface. [/QUOTE]
