A man-made deposit of soil or other materials.
Man-made deposits of soil and/or waste material Filter - (Permeable filter) A layer or combination of layers of permeable material (typically sand and gravel) designed and placed in such a manner as to provide drainage, yet prevent the movement of soil particles due to flowing water.
sed] Any sediment deposited by an agent so as to fill or partly fill a valley, a sink or other depression.
( fill). Soil, stones, debris, and the like used to occupy a given space or to build up the level of an area or ground.
soil or geofoam placed above grade or to back fill an excavation.
Waste sand or rock, cemented or uncemented in any way, used either for support, to fill stope voids underground, or to provide a working platform or floor.
The process where low lying, wet land is filled with top soil in an attempt to make it arable or suitable for construction.
any sediment deposited by any agent as to fill or partly fill a channel, valley, sink, or other depression.
Any man-made soil deposit. Fills may consist of soils that are free of organic matter and that are carefully compacted to form an extremely dense, incompressible mass, or they may be heterogeneous accumulations of rubbish and debris.
Man-made deposits of natural earth materials (e.g. rock, soil, gravel) and waste materials (e.g. tailings or spoil from dredging), used to fill an enclosed space such as an old stope or chamber in a mine.
To raise the elevation of a surface by depositing dredged or excavated material onto it.
Soil, sand, and debris deposited in aquatic areas, such as wetlands, to create dry land, usually for agricultural or commercial development purposes.

Man-made deposits of natural soils or rock products and waste materials.
In archaeology fills are contexts representing material that has accumalated or has been deposited into a cut feature such as ditch or pit of some kind. Fills are an important part of the archaeological record as there formation and composition can throw light on many aspects of archaeological study.
