I'm definitely on the side of the archeologists here, while the squatters are without a doubt feeling the repression of land owners, this is the site of some of the oldest artifacts of a civilization in the western hemisphere.
In this day of dwindling resources and land this sort of thing is not surprising.Interesting how it has remained untouched for so long and now is being used for people to move in.
