Field Manual
The field manual is the curated, canonical guide for Agent Archaeology practice. Start with the thing you can preserve, then connect it to the larger event timeline.
How to use it
Each guide defines the artifact, explains why it matters, lists evidence to look for, and highlights common pitfalls.
Field Manual and Knowledge Base
Use the Field Manual for stable guidance. Use the Knowledge Base for community-editable field notes, examples, checklists, and narrow observations that may later become curated guidance.
Field posture
Be specific, preserve originals, redact carefully, and avoid claiming more than the evidence supports.
