Came thru fine on my system....
Yes (good bust)...and just reinforces how we desperately need Site Stewards
(and the program to train them)....volunteers designated to patrol
sites...keep an eye on them...and notify officers at any sign of looting
(but NOT confront the actual looters).

I meet people all the time who mention the artifacts (usually "arrowheads")
they've collected...and how fun it is.   Most people in America see it as
their "right to Treasure Hunt"...unfortunately.  Of course it obviously is
illegal to damage or remove anything from Federal or State lands....so they
know they are 'behaving badly' when they do this.

Of course...how did all those museums (mostly on the east coast) acquire
all their marvelous collections of artifacts (and human remains) from the
SW and mounds in the mid-west...etc. ??  They paid people to "loot" graves,
etc...in the name of Science.
