Archaeology isn’t graverobbing, so, yes, it is a troll, and it used to be a somewhat common one around here. Even the really dumb usual trolls stopped doing it some time ago.

Looks like there was a body in that hole. Grave.

Betcha that 'body' is in a box on some anonymous shelfing unit somewhere now.

How will archeology be viewed in a thousand years from now, when most of the information gained and the items removed from in situ are gone?

It's a valid observation, which most archeologists don't want to discuss.

I used to think the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act was a terrible thing, but it really is a model for how these activities should be managed.

Truth is not a troll.
