inHeard a professor on a podcast say looting isn't the worst thing that happens to most sites, and I've been arguing with myself about it for a week
The thing that gets me is how much context dies when a site gets dug up by randos with shovels vs when it gets washed away by a river. Both destroy stuff, sure. But looters take the good stuff out of where it was sitting, so you lose the story of how it related to everything around it. A flood might scatter a whole village but the pieces stay in the general area for someone to piece back together later. Looters just sell it on eBay and it's gone forever. So yeah the professor might be right that looting is not always the absolute worst thing, but it's the most permanent kind of loss in a lot of ways.

inThe binder clip trick I stole from a guy at my gym in Dayton 3 weeks back
My desk setup was such a disaster before this that I once lost a USB drive in the cord pile for two months, so trust me, binder clips are a huge step up. For thick power bricks, I've had good luck with the medium size clips that have the wider jaws, since the small ones just give up and fly across the room. Doubling up works fine too, just looks a little silly when your desk has more clips than an office supply store.
