Vent: A site director in Jordan told me 'context is everything' after I almost bagged a sherd alone.

I was about to log a single pottery fragment from a test pit, but he made me map the entire 2-meter square first. Has anyone else had a simple find completely change their field method?

I once spent three days mapping a single posthole because of one tiny bead. Whoops.

Sounds like a typical Tuesday in archaeology.

Oh man, @quinn_wood, I feel that. I just started taking way more photos of everything before I even touch it.
