Again, lack of knowledge "VERY simple to obtain".

The last statement is the most difficult. What are the parts of the Archaeological Guidelines? This in itself can be up to 12 pages of data. It must be precised and meet the requirements of the FBAR or should I say their interpretation of the elements of the Guideline are.
