The sieve is not a tool that really makes an appearance in British commercial archaeology. Where sieving does get done, it is usually in the form of processing defined samples and is almost always done off site. In contrast, in other parts of the world, ALL spoil is routinely sieved. The sieving becomes a full time job, often considered as a bit of an outcast job, undertaken at the margins of the dig, an excuse for a smoke or for nursing a hangover.
