Full BAB, no spells Archaeologist?

[Tim4488]

Pretty much all there in the thread title. I like the Archaeologist Bard a lot, but am interested in a more mundane variant on the same theme. Would there be any obvious problems with just removing the entire spellcasting progression and making it a d10/Full BAB class?

Perhaps a better way to go about this is to merge the Archaeologist and Ranger... hrm...
