The article reports that, "There are no plans to give professional  
archaeologists access to the site, although Richard Fuller said he  
has talked with an anthropologist about having the skeletons analyzed  
and studied."

I'd like to know who the anthropologist might be and wonder if that  
person couldn't be brought up for censure by the SHA or the RPA or  
another sister organization.  Based upon the photos- I don't see any  
screening with back dirt carelessly flung about.

What about our colleagues in the US armed forces?

This is deeply troubling.
