TIL that keeping a field journal in pencil instead of pen changed how I read a dig site
A lab director in Flagstaff looked at my smeared ink notes from last summer's survey and said she could not tell which layer each potsherd came from, so I switched to pencil and a two-page spread per unit, and now I can actually sort the stratigraphy a year later, has anyone else had a record-keeping habit like that called out?
