Best I've seen was a site where we had rows of really deep (6 foot+) Neolithic postpits - the guys discovered that with a bit of bashing the broken handle off a hand-shovel could be splayed out to create a digging edge which got wedged onto the end of a stick, then the shovel-bit got bent to 90 degrees and wedged on the other end of same stick, and bobs-yer-uncle, remote digging/spoil removal implement.
The pairs of kiddies seaside buckets hung over a 6" nail near the top of the section to put the spoil in was, of course, merely the icing on the cake...
