What a great way to avoid destruction of these sites.
Science did that!!!!🤗
So they still have dig once they find something. This just means they don't end up digging without finding anything.
That is my take on it too.
Not just that, we have fragile archeological sites around the globe that are waiting for the technology to retrieve and/or investigate without destroying irreplaceable knowledge
