Dino was that a BSc or BA archaeology? Care to produce any numerical data for these insights? As I have said just the change in pipeline easement width due to contemporary landscape features may have a significant affect on sampling let alone the significance of the route with the past and then there's the getting finds mixed up from one end of the pipeline with the other end affect on the wondrous record by preservation.
Prentice I don't expect to be able to see any of those things on your list in stuff descovered by archaeology although i dont mind listening in a bit but its mostly to look for current politics. The worry that I have is that if I don't join in should the society of archaeologists stop me digging-Why did you become an archaeologist (is that different to a field archaeologist). I just like finding things like in situ contexts and associations, descovery is enough for me. A lot of the questions that you seem to want answers to could also be said to be based in contempory anxiety. if you have a home range how do you signal your ownership. How do you maintain contact with society are you no in face book. ) Pretty standard museum studies excuse for why people who control museums decide to put on exibitions to entertain the public saying if we are to have places in which to keep stuff but have no curators who are archaeologists and so aren't museums.
I don't know a single reason why anybody might have dug a pit in the Neolithic, I have a cockchaffer hunting theory which Keeps me happy which I could develope into a full on Tribal religion but thats mostly dependant on the excape angle and slipperyness of the cut and not the fills although I mostly use the theory to show surprise that cockchaffers existed in the Neolithic all over the place even above the 50m mark although for that to work I would have to introduce you to the mega once every 13 year cockchaffer plague events of the neolithic and it's affect on tree ring calibration ..i also like the dilemma between cockchaffers eating the very roots of the Neolithic beer source and eating them as bar chop.. dam there goes my professorship. What I do have is a look anywhere this might be a pit approach which does not need a desk based assesment, with a pit being a self contained blob in plan which might also be natural, dam another few hours digging meaningless mud and finding nothing, not a don't bother looking there because the monument planning policy framework of the neo say that it was taboo to place pits anywhere between hills and valleys let's not do an evaluation because we haven't screwed enough money out of the client. The other thing with neo pits is that I tend to date them plus or minus the whole Neolithic period which is a bugger if you ever find two close togeather or could that be significant.
