Ah. I was wondering how this dataset got non-Euclidean geometries in its geospatial data.

I was hopping I had found the location of the green stone city of R'lyeh on the great sunken continent of Mu. But, no such luck. Instead, it was a badly escaped CSV file that shifted columns over in random places.

My dreams (nightmares?) stumbling into a Lovecraftian thriller have been dashed by missing quote characters in a text file.

So much for the romance and adventure of archaeology.

@ekansa Don't give up hope yet. Something orthogonal to sanity will surely present itself soon.

"Orthogonal to sanity"? That would be the next White House press-conference.
