TIL a dig in Turkey had to stop because the local soil was eating our tools

The acidic clay near Ephesus was corroding our trowels and brushes in days, so we switched to titanium tools at triple the cost. Has anyone else faced a site that actively fought back against the excavation?

Read about a bog in Ireland that preserved bodies but ate leather boots.

Bogs are weirdly picky eaters.

Honestly, that just sounds like poor planning and a weak budget.
