I didn't know that. If I can regain my confidence enough to get back in my boat someday, I may have to join. I should also check to see whether anyone is running a herpetoculture list.

Make no mistake, American excavations have archaeologists monitoring operations to make sure relics don't get destroyed. Bak in the late '70s, when my mom was an anthropology student, she took part in digs at sites found when MARTA was coming through. Mostly trash piles -- you can learn a lot about people by what they threw away.
There was also an ancient find that temporarily halted construction of a high-rise condo a few years back -- I don't remember the details.
That's nothing on the grand scale.
I guess I stumbled upon it when looking for info on the "canoe man," and for got how I'd found it.
