......and I've got to agree that the ability to do single-context planning as well as everything else is a great asset, if something of a dying art in some quarters. The advice I was given when I started was, "Now then lad! Make sure you dig in as many places and with as big a range of periods as you can get your paws on.......and make sure you get a healthy dose of deep strat experience, its worth it!" I'd stand by that still, if any young diggers can get a job in the first place.
