Brush in hand indeed. The most common response to dealing with a site when time and money are squeezed is the quite unscientific resort to shovel and backhoe. "Salvage archeology." Really popular here in the States when a road crew runs over some skull fragments of a couple Indians dead for 2000 years. If the artifacts are being recovered in such grand numbers, chances are it is a trash midden they're digging in. Otherwise the site would've been excavated and filled in with the truck loads of excess grant money the team would've probably recieved to get the site dug. I doubt these are "priceless". Derek
