You know, real controlled excavations mean real science, but takes time AND money, both of which the universities don't have much OF - not enough to do the proper job - so, that put us volunteers in great importance, in order to do all that "hard" work..., for FREE! (don't you LOVE it...?!) :laughing7:
Take care...!
