Check out the latest news below, from the website of some involved scientists (Friends of America's Past).
From their website:
http://www.friendsofpast.org/
"Friends of America's Past was organized by people who believe the evidence of America's prehistory must be preserved. The past should be available to everyone now and in the future: to ask new questions, to discover, to learn.
The past will be lost unless we:
defend our right to learn about the heritage of all Americans;
insist that good scientific methods be practiced, free of political motives;
bring needed clarity to NAGPRA and other laws that impact the study of the past;
prevent the loss of valuable scientific information due to biased interpretations of the law;
keep our country free for exploring and expressing all views and explanations of our past.
