Another, and I suggest perhaps the most important lesson, is to use the technique that is most appropriate for the particular task and conditions. You could not triangulate every "offset" along a baseline when surveying my large field, for example: you'd be there for months and that is why the standard survey book looks like it does - noting down the offset dimension is known, imaginatively, as "booking". You may well triangulate to a certain prominent feature, perhaps.
I would also stress that I am not referring to archaeoelogical recording, I am talking about site surveys relating to construction and development.
We owe the dead nothing but the truth.
