Agreed - as I understand it, the relative and absolute positioning of pieces, and analysis of surrounding dirt, is very often more useful information than anything that can be gleaned from the piece itself.

Back in the 9th grade we visited a dig site and we even got to dig a little with the university folks overseeing. Boy did they get mad when I found an intact pot and unceremoniously ripped it out of the ground to show off. That was just for a dirt patch on a barrier island. I can't imagine how bad ransacking a major site would be.

@67 perhaps you mean unceremoniously?

You're right, I've fallen victim to autocorrect.
