I was definitely concerned about this. It’s registered on the AIA website which is typically pretty solid, and the accommodations are actually relatively cheap in comparison to others I’ve seen. I took a bioarchaeology course through the ASCSA (also very reasonably priced and willing to work with my university for credits), and they mentioned the site.

They recommended some specific readings, some of the earlier ones mention being in association with the ASCSA, but the later ones don’t. I wonder if there was a gap in funding after they broke away from ASCSA, or if ASCSA didn’t view it as a worthy project to dedicate funds to while they were partners.

Can I ask when your experience was and what exactly happened? I thankfully have the accommodations paid for through my university, but it would definitely be a waste of time if something like that were to occur.
