13 and 14, simplified description
Trimming. Discoveries are happening so fast the the circumstances of finding any one site are of lessening importance. There really could be hundreds of sites.

===The Melville Expedition===
===The Melville Expedition===
On February 10, 3303, personal logs surfaced from a member of an expedition to locate the Guardians' origin world led by a Professor Melville. Melville was an authority on xeno-biology who had disappeared several months earlier. Theorizing that the Guardians had once occupied a volume of space roughly equivalent to the human bubble before being forced to migrate, and that at least hundreds of ruins sites existed, Melville gathered a cadre of supporters to attempt to find these ruins. According to the logs, the expedition discovered clusters of three ruins sites in each of three systems: Synuefe LY-I b42-2, Synuefe NL-N c23-4, and Synuefe TP-F b44-0. As of February 8, in the logs' final entry, Professor Melville has seized control of the expedition ship and cut off all communication to the rest of the galaxy.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/en/galnet/uid/589db33015ac1c292f68b825 Galactic News: Intriguing Expedition Record Surfaces]</ref>

On February 12, CMDRs Madwax and mGtRd also discovered two sites on the same planet, Synuefe TP-F b44-0 CD 1, within very close proximity of each other.<ref name="10 and 11" /> This brought the total number of known sites on that planet to three, as CMDRs Robbie Junior and Clanga had discovered another site there the previous day.<ref name="9th" />
Following the news of the Melville Expedition's finds, the pace of new site discoveries rapidly increased as CMDRs began searching along the ship's path. Systems, and even planets, that held multiple sites were identified, lending credence to Professor Melville's theory that ruin density would increase closer to the center of Guardian civilization.
 
===Independent Searches===
Three days before the Melville Expedition was revealed, CMDRs Madwax, mGtRd, and Noodlz discovered a sixth Ancient Ruins site on planet 8 C of the Col 173 Sector KY-Q d5-47 system. The following day, they also located a second site on the same planet, marking the first known example of a planet featuring more than one site. These two sites also demonstrated two new minor layout variations. The CMDRs withheld their discoveries, hoping to locate a third site that they believed was on the planet before making an announcement, but the Melville Expedition information caused them to alter their plans and announce the find early.<ref name="6 and 7" /> CMDR Zorbaq found a third site in the Col 173 Sector KY-Q d5-47 system on a different planet on February 12, 3303.<ref name="12th" />
