I agree with Bob.

What is up with the legal protections for sites in PA?  Can anyone  
wander onto a registered historic site and start pulling human bones  
out of the ground and shipping them off to other countries?

There must be more to this story and I'd really like to hear from some  
of our colleagues in Pennsylvania about things.

Cheers,
Tim
