Was reading a paper about a site with lots of IA roundhouses (drip-gullies anyway) at the weekend - the author had explained in the methodology bit that due to lack of time/resources they'd 'sampled' most of these by digging the terminals, a bit at the back and occasionally bits at the sides too.....a few pages further on was lengthy discussion about the 'structured' nature of the pottery deposition which seemed to mainly occur in the, errrr, gully terminals, round the back and occasionally at the sides, and what 'ritual' and belief system it all represented......think that roughly sums up what Jack's on about? :face-thinks:
Made me laugh though :face-approve:
