Abstract
the digging archaeolo
gist spends a great deal of valuable time separating the analyti cally important wheat-artifacts,
ecofacts and the samples that science is heir to from the huge mass of disposable chaff-the soil
matrix of the site being excavated. In Hawai'i, where small-scale handwork is the rule, the common
process is to clear away the loosened and obscuring dirt generated by one's digging by scraping,
sweeping, brushing and scooping it
into buckets that are then carried to screens for sifting.
