MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic for Applications T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment

The file is identified as malicious by ClamAV with the signature 'Doc.Trojan.Thus-8'. Static analysis detected VBA macros, specifically a 'Document_Open' macro, indicating that the document is designed to execute malicious code upon opening. The document body presents itself as an archaeological excavation recording form, likely a social engineering lure to trick the user into enabling macros.
