That's not hard to explain. They're not interested in J.Random Idiot
trampling the site and stripping it of archeological value. Or just hiding
it from their fellow researchers so they can publish first.
I thought that but in this case the earthworks are so large. I was
hoping to see it from space basically.
Perhaps it is just a kneejerk policy at this point. Some of the best
fossil beds on the burgess shales in Alberta are not precisely
published, nor say Rats Nest Cave; or the hot spring cavern near
Banff, although everybody whose lived there knows where they are.
Well, maybe I am wrong on the shales case - I see more links to them:
