Good morning Lizards.

Survived the monsoon yesterday in the Philadelphia area. (Heavy rain in downtown, but I was farther south visiting a refinery and it poured there for well over an hour. To the extent that they were closing roads and the drainage grate in the parking lot was acting as an outflow!)

A lot of places have special rules in place in terms of archaeological checking before construction and development takes place. My brother has land near Rochester, NY and for getting a building permit he needed a signed form from an archaeologist that the location was not of significance. Which could have been an issue since the area is known for neolithic/Indian campsites. Easy to find flint knapping fragments and scraper bits walking across the cornfield there right after it has been plowed.
