Hot take: hand-drawn site maps beat GPS logging for small digs

I spent the last two summers on a dig outside Santa Fe, and we tested GPS logging against old-fashioned hand-drawn maps on graph paper for the same trench grid. Hand-drawing caught three small features the GPS missed because the satellite signal bounced off the canyon walls. Anyone else find that low-tech methods still win out in tricky terrain?
