Narrative

I have finished the audit of the Nigavan and Lusagyugh survey quadrants. The biggest lesson really is to make sure that everyone's entries are being doublechecked in the season in which they are entered: I found many duplicate site ids, duplicate site names, entries that were in the geoDB but not the survey DB, etc. Besides making sure that the information in both databases was copacetic, I also disaggregated some burial clusters, because it's clear that our idea of what constitutes a cluster has changed with time. If the burials were more than 20 meters apart and not evidently connected by topographical or other subjectively-assigned features, I disaggregated outliers. This means that there are a lot more incidental burials than there used to be.
