I'm taking a forensics course and I'm doing a lesson on dirt and just learned about the Munsell system of color notation and I immidiately wondered if that was a thing in archeology too
Nah all jokes aside Munsell books are super cook (and INSANELY expensive) and 100% a thing in archaeology (i dont use them much where i work, but they tend to be more common in research excavations, or in soil sample analysis off-site)
I, however, am notoriously HORRIBLE at judging dirt colours though so i consider them about... fifth?? on my list of arch nemeses
(I do love just sitting there and looking at the colours though)
