In all, we excavated a total 744 square meters (8008 square feet) to an average depth of 25 cm (10 inches). That is a total of 186 cubic meters (6568 cubic feet). That is equivalent to having a foot and a half of dirt covering an area the size of a basketball court.

Was there a particular motivation behind your choice of site?
I do not choose which sites I go to. They are chosen for me by my bosses.
Any idea why they chose it?
They felt that it had a high probability of success. They were correct. However, the site turned out to be larger than anticipated, so another team will have to go back in the future.
I guess what I'm really trying to get at is how the "probability of success" is determined.
Investigation teams are sent out to all of the sites several times before an excavation team (what I lead) is sent out. They provide some basic information that is analyzed to determine the likelihood of success.
