Hold on a second . . . would this cause a problem with the C14 dates? And you people were tut tutting about that guy at the start of this thread having a fag.
Still - load up another pig there Mother.

I've got it, the bloke can't be an archaeologist, have a close look at his fag, it's out of a packet and not a rollie.

A rollie! Good heavens man, you've made me drop my monacle into my brandy - surely it's a pipe he should be smoking.

Ashamed to say that after 20 years I gave up on rollies, too many pounds of baccy blown away mid-roll, tailors may be more expensive but....also on no-hand-to-mouth-contact sites you just hold them further along, no tricky rolling first.....and driving's soooo much safer, since I've never mastered steering a van with my knees at 90mph in the fast lane of the M1 (you know who you are!)

Cigarettes are cheap in Bulgaria and most Bulgarian archaeologists I worked with smoked...... I also knew a Bulgarian archaeologist just like the guy in the picture who would go around with a metal detector and a pick digging up anywhere he got a 'ping' - unless you told him (sternly) not to.
'Soft deposits' don't have much value in the way that Bulgarian archaeologists work and (apart from our team) I never saw a single project using stratigraphic recording. So this guy would not be feeling any kind of guilt in pulling finds from the soft stuff without recording. We were told on a number of occasions that the Bulgarian archaeologists could not understand out attention to the minutiae of recording. That said. they have some fantastic sites with monumental Roman ruins that match many sites in Turkey and Asia Minor for size and extent. So ignoring the soft stuff may come from an attitude influenced by an abundance of riches......
With peace and consolation hath dismist, And calm of mind all passion spent...

Can't remember the last time I had any hard bits on any of my sites (except for the foot of permafrost last winter).....their approach would certainly speed-up report writing over here :face-approve:
