when you are excavating a suspected site, every bucket, every trowel full of dirt that is not readily identified is sifted through screens. the resulting detritus is then carefully handpicked over, and then often times they are tested when there is any doubt. bone is pretty distinctive in the archealogical digs. I've spent a couple of summers on digs

You beat me to it. As a gal who has picked up more than the usual share of fossils, I just want to add that a bone usually is easy to spot, because it doesn't look like all of the surrounding dirt and rocks. Except for the ones we got last spring, here in Alabama, in the bed of an ancient sea. The fossils were burrows of crusteaceans, and were made of dirt in the first place. Basically we just dusted off a patch of dirt, and what didn't roll away was the fossil.

KK, I hope you never tried to find fossilized dirt - It's like playing "Where's Waldo!"
