Bei archaologischen Ausgrabungen muss oft der fruchtbare Oberboden separat gelagert werden, um ihn nach Abschluss der Grabungsarbeiten wieder zuoberst auf die wiederverfullten Grabungsschnitte aufzubringen, um Flurschaden und Ernteausfalle fur den Grundeigentumer zu vermeiden. Wird die Grabung auf Grunbrache oder Weideland ausgefuhrt, bietet es sich beim handischen Bodenabtrag an, den Oberboden in Form von Rasenziegeln zu stechen, die in Form sauber aufgeschlichteter Rasenziegelmauern und Rasenziegelmobiliar gelagert und dadurch gleichzeitig in fur die Feldarbeit nutzbringender Weise verwendet werden konnen, z.B. als Windschutz, Pausenbereiche und improvisierter Buroraum im Feld. Bei archaologischen Ausgrabungen in Meillionydd in Nordwales haben wir eine Reihe von einfachen Bautechniken und Bauanleitungen fur derartige Rasenziegelmauern und Rasenziegelmobel entwickelt, die selbstverstandlich auch in anderen Kontexten als bei archaologischen Ausgrabungen - insbesondere in der Gartengestaltung - verwendet werden konnen, um "grune" Gartenmobel und Gartenarchitektur zu erzeugen, die sich fur viele verschiedene Zwecke praktisch nutzen lasst. Der "Turf Wall Architecture and Turf Furniture Assembly Guide" enthalt Bauanleitungen, die es auch Ihnen ermoglichen, diese praktische Landschaftsarchitektur zu erzeugen.
