But a lot of my colleagues who are professional field archaeologists, I mean, they can identify exactly what kind of soil something is just by looking at it, because they've had so much experience in digging this down. And even bits of soil, which to me, I look at and I'm like, I mean, yeah, maybe there's a slight color change, but surely that's the same layer, they'll be like, no, that's clearly a different layer. And they can, you know, show you on your profile on your wall that you've cleaned, they'll be like, no look, this is a layer, this is a layer, this is a layer. And again, sometimes they're really clear, and they're really crisp. the The sort of best thing to happen is if, like some kind of disaster or whatever has happened in the past, and you know, like there's been a volcano eruption, and so a layer of ash forms a complete stratigraphic layer, and you're like, yes, Fantastic. that's That's that volcano eruption right there. And you can date that really precisely then because you know that that's when that happened or when there was a fire and the house burned down and then suddenly it's like a layer of sort of charcoal or like these sort of things that happen.
