Sometimes less is more. :face-stir:
Many do meet those standards. Of those that don't, most can be guided/trained.
As Dino said its all about guessing what a feature may be, what challenges it may hide and putting the right person on it and give them the right guidance to extract the maximum relevant archaeological info.
In my days running sites people have generally fallen into the four categories I detailed above. All four, if managed correctly, can and do save much archaeological information. Some of the latter two categories, however, have seemed determined to destroy archaeological information either directly or indirectly through their miss-guided (not always malicious) actions.
