A team from the University of Glasgow team worked with volunteers and students to excavate the former Kelvin Wheelies park.
Not sure what kind of time needs to pass for restoration to be called archaeology but this article doesn’t make that distinction.
When archaeologists began work on the site of Scotland’s first skatepark last August, there was one prominent question being asked - when had the ground actually been filled in?
They are looking for when in the 80s did a skatepark built in the 70s close. Calling it archaeology is clickbait and literally not worth your time.
They wanted to know something about human history that wasn’t on record, and they learned it by digging up and investigating artifacts. That sounds like archaeology.
Has to be at least from the 60s to be archaeology.
To quote the article
“The processes are the same with archaeology – you can apply them to any time in the human past."
