Sadly frequently not the case, particularly when 'outside' units unfamiliar with the local natural have taken the spec from the county at its word and targeted all the critical intersections for over-machining at the evaluation stage :face-crying:
And any curators reading this, why the **** do you keep writing phrases in trial trenching specs about targeting intersections and the like, they are the bit that should be absolutely left for subsequent area excavation, site phasing is not a requirement of evaluation (which is primarily for determining presence, extent and condition, and broad period), you can rarely tell what's actually going on in a stupid little 2x2 trench as it is (or even often in a 50x5, for that matter) and it's b****y annoying later on to discover all the critical relationships have been trashed !
