Archaeologists study humans, not dinosaurs. Advocating excavation is irresponsible. There are local, state, and federal cultural resource laws to protect our archaeological/cultural resource heritage. Also, there are times when excavation is unnecessary. Archaeological resources are finite. Once displaced, they are gone. If “excavated” by an individual or group of individuals who are not trained archaeologists or being taught/supervised by a trained archaeologist, you end up with lost context, irresponsible curation, and an illegal artifact trade. You are not promoting archaeology but treasure hunting. And again...if you want a dinosaur based game, you are looking for paleontology.

I bought and paid the app for my child thinking it would be sufficient, but the app has a large button with more In-app games for purchase!! The button/link “strategically” placed knowingly entices children to go and click on these new games with more In-app purchases to be made. Th children have tantrums when you’ve had enough buying these endless in-app games. They should know better than to do this and Apple App Store should restrict them from doing this!

Seriously if you don’t know that archaeology is NOT about digging up dinosaurs, you should be ashamed of yourself! Nothing bugs me more than people who don’t know archaeology has NOTHING TO DO WITH DINOSAURS! And here you are teaching the idiotic falsehood to children. Get your facts straight—it’s called PALEONTOLOGY! Paleontologists dig and study dinosaurs; archaeologists dig and study HUMANS through cultural remains—no dinosaurs, sorry! I downloaded the app just to tell you this now I’m going to delete it.
