Long and sometimes bitter experience with research designs in relation to sampling strategies suggests that they often (usually!) turn out to have relevence only within the confines of the original trial trench(s) upon which they're based (spot someone gradually becoming disillusioned with trial trenching as a form of evaluation on many projects)....and by the time the 'advisor' can find a free time slot you've usually had to have dug most of the site anyway. Generally manage to come up with some decent sample results anyway off my own bat, luckily, making it up as I go along, just need to know what you're doing :face-approve:
