Would you be willing to share this tool? I'm always very interested in matrix software. We use excel at my work, but its not really the best solution for creating them (large deep strat sites often crash it!).

And utimately is really dishonest. Most archaeology is planned for when building work is schedualed. It isnt a perfect system, and unexpected things do crop up, but archaeology is budgeted for both time and money wise as part of developments

And thats really cool in and of itself - Achaeology being part of the building process means we get to see tons of sites in places you could never do a research dig. Most of my career has been working in Central London! But framing it like that makes us easy targets

I've been an academic, and I often put my papers on reasearchgate as a way of making them accessible even if there is a paywall on the original publication. You can check the citation to make sure they really are from peer reviewed journals. Same goes for academia, though it's annoyingly spammy

Have you come across @juliettewaterman.bsky.social She does fab work on the archaeology of birds of prey, but their bones are pretty rare.

Same here, never understood why it was gender segregated. There weren't enough female fencers where I lived for a women's league so I just competed with the men, never felt I had a disadvantage.
