I have no idea.  I actually forgot to ask what his exact job is.  All i
know is that when I was trying to call him and he wasn't there are his
voice mail said he was in "tresspass".

I can't say for sure.  I know that he was very worried about people
walking around on top of archeology sites and possibly ruining stuff
just below the surface.
As for quite well known sites, I think it would deend on the site.  He
sounded very open to helping us, so it would probably be OK to contact
him and bounce the location of the proposed cache off of him and see if
it would be OK to place it there.
