Do we normally update our field notes after a dig?
I just realized I got the dates wrong in my last field report – the timestamps for a few layers were off by a day. I flagged it in a quick note but haven’t fully revised the official log yet.
Is it normal to keep a separate “corrections” section or just update the original notes later? I feel a little guilty about it, but I’m not sure if other people do the same or if there’s a better workflow.
Any thoughts?
Got the dates all wrong in my last field report
I was combing through the XYZ excavation notes and realized I’d misread the stratigraphy table. Thought that layer was Pleistocene but it turns out it’s actually Middle Paleolithic. Turns out I’d mixed up the column headers and even logged the wrong date range. A big apologue to anyone who used that data. Anyone have a quick refresher on how we label those strata? 🤔
