Used to trust every museum plaque I read, now I check the field notes first | Archaeology Discoveries

Got burned at a museum in Denver where a plaque dated a burial site 500 years off from what the excavators actually wrote in their 1978 report. Now I dig up the original site reports before I believe any label, and half the time the display skips the messy parts. Anyone else here do the homework before trusting a case, or am I just being a snob about it?
