Depositional settings aren't cross-references #32

Description

@allisonstegner

Not sure if this is the right spot for this issue note... But I get different search results when, under 'Deposit Setting,' I select 'Archaeological > Archaeological Cave Deposit', versus 'Terrestrial > Cave'. This seems a bit strange given that paleontological (i.e., sediments and fossils deposited naturally without human involvement) and archaeological strata often co-exist in caves. If I select the search term 'cave', it would be helpful to not want to discriminate between the two types. I can imagine that there may be other depositional settings categories with overlap like this. Seems like this could be an issue with the data structure, but maybe it's would be possible to include some blanket terms that search within multiple categories? Like, when you search cave, it searches for sites classified as either terrestrial caves or archaeological caves (I have to imagine that most archaeological caves are terrestrial...)?
