If your area doesn't look clean after your efforts, clean it again.
[/SIZE]note: if you are asked to clean the same area more than six time it means your supervisor hasn't got a clue how to tackle the archaeology(they are vainly hoping each clean will reveal a little bit more and they can put off tackling it)
$%£*** - been sussed! :0
Unusually for me I actually spent 10 minutes on my last trenching job showing people how to clean an area crumb-free the first time - was a bit surprised no one had shown them before, they had good long CVs, hardly beginners.
By coincidence was discussing skelly cleaning earlier (in connection with photographic stuff), but the conclusion was that in general they happen too rarely these days (not enough research excavs) for anyone to get experienced/anatomically knowledgeable enough to really do them for good pics [quite apart from mattock-holes in skulls!...] - try comparing modern published cemetery pics to old ones. Of my workforce on the last decent sized job only 2 people had ever done one. Shame really
Mind you, most of them around here are mainly bone-meal if you're lucky, so hardly good training material...
