More and more I think it best to think of software projects as a collection sedimentary layers, building on top of each other.

With the write investment you can remove or replace a layer, but the deeper it is the more expensive and structurally difficult it will be.

I wonder if and how tools and techniques from stratigraphy and archaeology can or have been adapted in the aid of studying such structures.
