Saw a crew last week in Mesa not screening their spoil piles properly

They were digging a test trench near the old canal and just tossing everything into one big heap. Last month, a site in Tucson lost a lot of small bone fragments because they did the same thing. Three years ago, a colleague in Phoenix missed a carved stone bead that way. It's a fast way to lose data forever. Has anyone else had to stop a dig team from rushing this step?

Can you just get them to slow down and use a tarp?
