Would be nice if certain organisations could manage to include some level information in their excavation reports occasionally? I've done 2 jobs in the last year (and many over the last decade) which have been vastly handicapped by previous excavators (in the 1990s/2000s, not old stuff) neglecting to include such information - in one case several new trial trenches had to be put in just to find out what level the previous (major) unit had hit archaeology at, in another I've had to 'guesstimate' at what level significant medieval waterlogged urban deposits will be hit during a development while making mitigation proposals - not good!
