English term or phrase: mesh size of screen
It is quite another thing to claim that you’ve recovered evidence for them while digging a Natufian cave terrace. You can only proclaim such ‘insights’ a couple of times before your colleagues start asking what mesh size of screen you need to recover ‘memory’

el tamaño de la malla del tamiz
Explanation:
Creo que se trata de un comentario irónico por parte del escritor sobre la competitividad en el mundo de la arqueología. "Screen" puede ser traducido como "pantalla" o "filtro", pero dado el campo de aplicación, "tamiz" encajaría mejor. Un poco más de contexto (es un ensayo de tono irónico?, qué aparece a continuación?) vendría bien.
