The feeling you get when you’ve gone into one of those aircraft hanger-size buildings and then you see some of the information they’ve gotten with ground tests ( radar, mercury, etc ) is wild. The site is huge.

So yes. Archaeology is a bit destructive, and sometimes the destruction can go both ways. Proceed with caution.
