Top of the line journals only publish articles that have been deemed credible and plausible by top of the line experts in the field - this is not a leading publication.

Peer reviewed here means that articles get a once over for gross errors and that conclusions or interpretations that many people in a field might deem to be far fetched still get published and peers can write in and raise issues in review letters, etc.

This is an article that's in an online free for all advance viewing queie - I'd have to check again to see if it even makes the print copy.

I've worked in geophysical exploration and mapping so I understand the data, the instruments, and the way that cooling volcanic flows create large amounts of what appears to be "machined" rocks that fractures in line with internal crystal stucture.

The site in question here has been worked by humans for sure - but it's unlikely humans crafted a vast pyramid like complex here, and there's no reason to assume humans created any voids, chambers, or deep tunnels that show up on various scans.

Thanks for contributing a little expertise. But otherwise you're responding to someone besides me. I know what peer review means and I never said (or thought) the paper was "widely accepted by the archaelogical community".
