Well, I have not learned any of the computer programs for documenting  
stratigraphy, but I am quite sure that many companies still use graph paper for  
feature drawing and stratigraphy. I know I used it throughout my excavations of  
the 18th century Spanish cannon battery and 19th century whaling station. I  
think we need to multiple document using graph paper, plastic sheets,  Munsell 
Color Codes, black & white photography, video, digital and now those  swell 
digital scanners that plot all the elevations electronically. I was  thinking of 
those machines just the other day when reading the posts of the  European 
system of opening broad areas to investigate features.
