Intrigued as to how an office bod like yourself would know good excavation standards? - oh, and I can't repeat on here what one of the people in question (who's a b***dy good field archaeologist who I've had the pleasure to work with occasionally over the last 20 or so years) said about you :face-stir:
Oh, and where is this site that was 100% excavated? Never seen that in 30+ years. In fact all research excavations I've ever worked on that were not destruction-motivated have deliberately left bits unexcavated (often quite large bits) for future investigation - its always been considered extremely poor practice to totally destroy a site purely for research purposes in case methods/techniques improve in the future.....but then maybe you're planning on changing all that....
