inShowerthought: The shift from hands-on digs to remote sensing in archaeology has me feeling nostalgic for the old surprises, lol.
Reminds me of when we started using drones for roof inspections instead of always climbing up there. At first, I missed the tactile feel and the unexpected finds, like spotting a hidden leak by hand. What worked for me was blending both methods, using tech for the broad scan but saving the close-up work for hands-on. That way, you still get those little surprises while being efficient. It's about finding a balance between the old ways and the new tools.
