Isnt this the problem of standards
We start of trying to get our observations out, first we tried drawings then we moved into photographs, now digital, with each media we have then had standards âimposed- so we end up with three photos with each camera at different f stops and suddenly you are an archaeologists because you know that the standard is to take three photos. I think that we should remember that there is a big difference between a picture taken by an archaeologists trying to show and enhance some feature which helps the description and the record and a picture of an archaeological feature taken because it is in the brief that each section had to be taken.
I think bajr should hang its coat on the end of the requirement of wet chemistry photography in archaeology.
Sorry dd Christmas is not looking good for any of us
