Our Congressman, Doc Hastings presented a bill to keep them from doing that. It passed the House and it passed the Senate, but before it could be put in the record, Clintoon went ahead an ordered the dirty job done. We sat and watched the cranes with buckets sitting idle while this legislation was taking place.
When it started up again, they put so much burlap, rocks and vegetation that it will be impossible to ever uncover the site to study it again.
This is the first I have heard about this.. what was the justification for destroying the excavation site??
