Prey tell more as I suspect you are working for a council unit on a pet quarry site where you have a yearly budget and you split it up into doing a bit of evaluation followed by a bit of excavation no matter what the significance or worry about any archaeological compertition.
Some evaluations warrant publication in their own right (ok, maybe your's don't?), and I'd say a late Neo/EBA pit site stratified into a waterlogged palaeoenvironmental sequence is probably a touch more interesting than a modern cow - although of course without the specialists it'd still be a modern cow.... :face-stir:
