By no means. The wood was usually a walkway across a grid that was marked off by letter (depth) and number (horizontal location). A smaller site from where I took the last picture is clearer:
Now here is that same site as before (just a bit up the road) where you can clearly see one guy working his section of the "grid." Apparently, he found something as there is a person standing there noting where he found it as well as a guy on that metal platform next to him on a computer marking it on a 3D grid (you can only see his foot really):
What's placed on the floor at the bottom of the dig? Looks like wood flooring in the picture. Archeologist haven't gone that posh have they?

As long as I am on a posting streak. Valladolid, Spain. I got into one of the biggest dig sites in the world. they dig about a year as they get more fossils than they can processes through the rainy season. Yeah, of course I jumped under the "do not cross" wire! All those white things below are people digging. Structure above is what they already dug away to and pulled down to prevent a cave-in.
AHHHHHHHHH!
