- snug 2y agoI'd rather them be digging up ancient artifacts quietly, than the planned loud construction that was going to be going on instead
- drexlspivey 2y agoThe first metro line in Thessaloniki, Greece, planned to open next month, started construction 20 years ago. It took so long because (among other things) they kept bumping onto archeological sites. They have uncovered 130000 archeological finds so far.
- OJFord 2y agoWith probably zero machinery? Even if you wouldn't be interested to watch or chat, as possible uncontrollable neighbourhood events go, I think an archaeological dig is pretty tame and manageable.
- rnewme 2y agoThe digging is not a problem, lack of support for the neighbors foundations is. This is one strong rainfall away from destroyed ancient site and homeless folks.
- aksss 2y agoI'd probably volunteer to haul dirt away and then start digging in my own yard.
- lazide 2y agoThe issue for landowners is that digging pretty much automatically means you can’t actually do anything you might otherwise want to do with your land for potentially decades. If you’re an archaeologist? Cool. If you wanted a patio? Tough luck.

- rnewme 2y agoYea, that's quite a deep pit for no support on the sides. Definitely unsafe and against regulations in Croatia.
