I mean, this incident should call your assumptions about this into question.
Yes, some might be lost by random digging. But if it would not otherwise ever be found then nothing has been lost.
- extraduder_ire 2y agoIf something's been in the ground for hundreds of years, it'll still be there for a few hundred more. There's little reason to want to maximize the amount you're excavating right now. Unless your goal is to find treasure and profit somehow. I think the greater concern for artifact loss is someone doing earthworks, finding something, and then not reporting it because they don't want to wait for archaeologists to check out the site.
