"The team uncovers about 20 complete burials each year. The methodology now involves digging exploration holes every few metres in a lattice pattern - 'Swiss-cheesing', as Laura Taylor calls it - and excavating the newly identified burial sites."

I'd call this prairie-dogging myself. An even better word might be meerkatting or using a meerkat excavation strategy, by analogy with wildcat miners.
