We almost wrecked a 2,000-year-old Roman floor in Pompeii because my boss said 'just brush it off'
I was on a dig in Pompeii last fall and my crew chief told us to use stiff brooms on a mosaic, but I saw the tesserae starting to loosen, so I called a halt and got the site director, who confirmed we were about to destroy a section. Anyone else had to push back against a bad call in the field?

My old foreman once tried to power-wash a fresco in Herculaneum.
