The articles main editor, User:Mididoctors, contributed a lot of good, albeit unreferenced, articles on archaeological fieldwork in 2005/6. However I haven't been able to find this term in About.com Archaeology or Archaeology.info's glossaries, or in any of the print reference books and textbooks I have (Pearsall's Encyclopedia of Archaeology, Renfrew & Bahn's Archaeology: Theories, Methods and Practice and Barker's Techniques of Archaeological Excavation). It's possible that the specialist term has a meaning so close to everyday usage that nobody has bothered to define it separately. In which case it's probably not notable enough for inclusion in Wikipedia. —Joseph RoeTk•Cb, 19:05, 16 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for checking this, and I hope others may do the same and come up with a good source. I left a note at User_talk:Mididoctors about some of the other articles he or she wrote (also unsourced), but I don't believe that Mididoctors has been around for a while.
