Once dug a Meso. site in Bavaria, at the base of a cliff in a forest. We had some German labourers (prisoners on day release) with us and on day one they were sent off to dig a large pit, stick a lavvy on it and put up a toilet tent. Rather conveniently they found a wooden platform so they cut a hole into it and put the lavvy over the hole.
Two months later an eminent German professor arrived to continue with his excavation of the most intact Mesolithic burial in Germany. Apparently they had only removed part of the burial four years previously and left the rest in situ so that they could return and get a good set of environmental samples along with the rest of the burial. In order to protect the burial they had constructed a wooden platform over the grave ........ oops.
