    I remember seeing something a while back that US archaeologists don’t like Europeans on their dig sites, because the Europeans just bulldoze through anything less than a few hundred years old because the interesting stuff is way under it, where the US ones are like “noo, our heritage!”

      No European archeologist would do that. Maybe 19th century ones, like Schliemann, who was so anxious to find the Troy of legend that he plowed through all layers above it.

      But modern archeologists would absolutely not do such a thing.
