Ya, I read the posts on SUBARCH. Awwwwwww poor archies! The purists are crying because they will be left out. The archaeologists willing to work with the private sector will be the winners.

Don't pop open your champagne just yet. The bill still has to pass the Columbian Senate. It whipped through the House 78 for, 11 against.

They may have the same situation there we have here... House one party majority, and Senate another party majority... stalemate. I don't know really, but I do have a project there on standby.
