A detailed account of the excavation pro-procedures used and the problems encountered is an inevitable segment of the report of any archeological project, because the kinds of observations made in archeology and the deductions based upon these observations are rooted in the digging techniques. The critical reader can best evaluate the work and the interpretations based upon it when the conditions of discovery and recovery are understood. Although much of the information regarding the circumstances of finding can be, and often is, woven into the descriptive accounts of artifacts and other data, the serious professional is entitled to a separate statement of the phenomena and problems encountered during the digging.
