Italian term or phrase: reticolo a maglie quadrate di 1 metro
This is from an article on a lithic complex on Monte Doc near Treviso. It's a reference to a figure, which of course is not included in the source text. It is aimed at a specialist readership.

Fig. 4 - Monte Doc-Segusino (TV) - Il III settore di scavo: indicazione del ***reticolo a maglie quadrate di 1 metro***. Tratto dal giornale di scavo.

'Gridding a site
In their study of how to grid a site, students will use a map and the Cartesian coordinate system to:
establish a grid system over an archaeological site, labeling each grid unit;
determine the location of artifacts within each grid unit;
construct a scientific inquiry concerning the location of artifacts on the site.'
