As part of their ethincal code, archaeologists agree to leave a protion of their excavation sites untouched. They do this as a gift to the archaeologists of the future, who may be able to glean more from the area than current technologies allow. As you dig deeper into your novel, you may find that your cup of good novel ideas runneth over, and you can’t fit all your interesting characters and scenes into the arc of the story. If this is the case, just make a note of them, and set them aside to explore in future writing projects.
