Subject: The battle to protect artifacts and sites

The battle to protect artifacts, sites
APRIL 9, 2001

With sacred artifacts fetching high price tags and
demand reaching internationally, federal authorities
are hard at work trying to protect looting of Indian
archaeological sites.

In 1995, Bureau of Land Management authorities used
DNA evidence to track down Earl K. Shumway for
stealing from a site in Utah. Shumway received fice
years for the crime, the longest ever.

Utah authorities prosecute more archaeology-related
crimes than anywhere else. But the costs are high and
they can take a long time to carry out.
