Is it not the argument that artefacts recovered are stratigraphically recordred, in that that are only ever removed from the topsoil context? (and recorded in plan obviously) No different from fieldwalking in that respect. The difference is in the intention and the use made of the data.
To clarify, I am of course referring solely to those with academic or research intent, not those seeking artefacts for sale, collection or curiousity.
We owe the dead nothing but the truth.
