A location or area situated behind another main site, often used in archaeology or construction to describe secondary or supporting areas.
Compound of 'back' and 'site,' used primarily in archaeological and construction contexts from the 20th century onward to distinguish secondary locations from primary excavation or building areas.
Archaeologists often find that backsites tell the real story of how people lived—while the main site shows the fancy temple, the backsite reveals where workers actually slept, ate, and made tools.
