I haven’t worked with any archaeologists, but I have worked with a few geologists, and all of them would bring in their favorite rocks and lick them every once and a while.

That’s just being an archaeologist
That is what I’m trying to do lol

If you can feel the grains in your mouth, it’s silt. If you can’t, it’s clay.
