My starter and my cooking share that flat energy.

Totally agree with your team lead. We rushed a dig last year and wrecked a whole layer of pottery shards trying to get to the "good stuff" fast. Felt awful, like @hunt.hayden's story. Sometimes the best move is to just map it carefully and wait.

Oh man, that's the worst. It's crazy how that line gets used over and over. @simonlee's story about the print shop is a perfect example of why you can't trust it. Three grand is a massive hit for a small business to just eat.
