Subject: Re: Alert - American Diggers show going ahead
I received an email today through the Conference on Michigan Archaeology on this
ssue, which was informed through our State Archaeologist, who in turn was
nformed via NASA (National Association of State Archaeologists). According to
ur State Archaeologist, the major archaeological organizations in the U.S. have
een made aware of this, and responses are being prepared. So some sort of broad
ange resistance is in the works.
