A site lead at a dig near Abilene told me my field notes looked like grocery lists, so I switched from scribbling in a pocket pad to drawing a quick grid map of every trench before I bag anything
Took one extra pass through the notes from a 2019 survey and found a burned seed pit we'd walked right past, so now I want to know how the rest of you handle note taking when you're tired and the light is going.

When you say the light is going, are you talking about pushing past sunset or just that flat gray afternoon where everything looks the same? That in between lighting is what kills me, because shadows stop reading as shadows and I miss stuff like your seed pit every time. Do you change how you mark things in those conditions, or just call it and come back fresh?
