Adding new excavations edit

I feel that something of this kind would involve a major amount of effort to work through, particularly as something of this kind can become very big, very quickly (UK commerical archaeology for instance would typically produce hundreds of excavations each year), and input would vary by each editor's own expertise. I do not have the expertise to write a bot for this, and doubt that the majority of articles would easily provide the information to easily scrape for those details. I am prepared to slowly work my way through excavations I myself am familiar with, but this would be significantly impacted by my own knowledge. GeneralMelchett (talk) 22:17, 8 October 2020 (UTC)Reply
