long-scale projects at important sites. Now, you can of course work in another way, and survey lightly over a much larger number of sites,

I think we, obviously need work everywhere. But, uh, what region is critically important right at the moment, I don't know.
[00:09:22]
I think that the Olmec area, perhaps, is as critical as anything, right now.
We have begun to
