There a lot of people here who dig in the "planum" - horizontal spit method. The people who use it a almost all bull****ters, incompetents, or functionaries interested only in prolonging their projects. It takes 4-5 times longer on site, destroys all stratigraphic relationships, mixes finds, is almost impossible to phase, record contamination and residuality understand or recognise truncation. It takes even longer to analyse and write up even if possible. The people who use this method haven't a clue and it is evident when working with them and they spend most of their time trying to remove, backstab, trample on anyone who tells them they're wrong.
