All archaeologists know how to do is tear down and study. Have you ever seen an archaeologist stay around to see the pieces put back together? CalTrans had twelve sets of human remains from an HISTORIC (not PRE-HISTORIC) cemetery for 12 months to "study" them. Study what? The newspapers told what killed them, the newspapers told their ages, the newspapers told who they were related to. Study what? In the end, we got six "Adult" remains and six "child remains". Just because the "archaeologists" ordered them "studied." Call me caustic, but, PLEEEEAAAASSE......
