In an evaluation, we were told that if you exposed a 'half' skeleton in a trench, then you had to expand the trench to expose (and record and excavate) the rest of him/her. However, if you get a whiff of another skelly in that expansion bit, then leave it alone (developer only paying for what you find in the trench). Wouldn't recommend only excavating half a corpse. If you knew you were going to be excavating skellies, then the WSI should have set out a clear strategy for these situations. If you weren't expecting skellies, then the county mounty should get involved and a strategy should be clearly laid out before you start digging the rest of them...But that is in plan - not sure about section. I would suggest excavating all or nothing. If the development is going to dig it all out, then I would suggest 'all'.
