Researchers FAQs
Questions researchers ask.
answered here.
Why does the site say “more than 440” rather than 445?
The report narrative says 445, but its printed category table sums to 444. We use a conservative rounded claim until the compiler confirms the discrepancy.
Can equipment or specimens be brought onto the property?
Only by prior written arrangement and with all permits required for the proposed work.
