Where there are egregious outbreaks of stupidity
such as those Linda Derry mentioned, it would seem
to me that the SHPO review office should have
lowered the proverbial boom on the offending
blinkered anthropologically bent person (not an
archaeologist in my book). While most of us are
not overly fond of oversight, there is a time and
place for that sort of thing. After all, if we
don't correct our errant colleagues, who can. And
why lament after the fact when we have the
marvellous internet to help with the front-end
loading?

Specialists are out there for nearly any endeavor
imaginable, so shame and chiggers on those
unwilling to bring them on board at the beginning
and more so for not listening to them during the
work. For those too dim to see the benefits and
too very dim to use the benefits, the site
shouldn't have to suffer.
