Absolutely correct. Archaeologists might be very interested in that area hundreds of years from now. But with a single exception, currently the site is of interest primarily to paleontologists.

I didn't mean to bust your chops. As a former professional archaeologist, I'm a little sensitive to the whole "hey, you looking for dinosaurs ?' thing hahaha.

On my last visit to the La Brea Tar Pits, they had a prominant sign at the front desk that said something like, "NO DINOSAURS WERE FOUND IN THE TAR PITS"

The guy at the counter said he still gets the dinosaur question over and over every day.

They're both mostly glorified ditch-diggers by trade.
