Nikumaroro: Challenges to Doing Archaeology - 2

Areas that aren't covered in Scaevola are often covered in coconuts and pandanus gone wild, which dump a tremendous load of leaves, fronds, nuts, etc. on the ground, which then rots and forms a pretty difficult ground-cover.

Walking through this stuff is not entirely easy, and detecting anything under it is something else again.  Not a walk in the park.
