I would agree with that. The early context sheets were drawn up in a fashion to try and make the records ready for computerisation and an attempt to standardise what was recorded years before computers became universally available ie early 1970s for the first context sheets and late 1980s for the use of computers. Since that time IT has changed out of all recognition and what has always amazed me in the amount of duplicated information that is recorded as well as the amount of redundant information. For example why is a location needed on a context sheet ie a grid reference when there is a geo-referenced digital plan that is instantly available.
