Typically for a few reasons:
1. Needing to move dirt/rubble to another location so they can construct something where it was in prep for excavation.
2. Looking through the dirt/rubble for contaminants or issues they may encounter later on, aka how many large rocks, etc.
3. Need to get dirt/rubble in one spot to relocate it to another as fill.
4. Moving dirt/rubble to a staging area to make access to trucks easier
5. Moving dirt/rubble to construct a ramp area so the excavators or trucks can go up/down during digging
Those are just a few reasons to do what looks like just move dirt from one spot to another. Unfortunately we see dirt and to us it all looks the same, but often you're seeing different piles from different locations. If they had a time lapse web cam you'd likely notice it isn't actually dirt moving from one spot to another.
Either way it is a sign of activity on the site and that excavation is not terribly far away, likely under a few months until full scale excavation starts.
