The following link is to an online newspaper story about the chair of an
anthropology department who recorded data from lithic artifacts for
research purposes, from artifacts brought to him by members of the public
who "collected" them from public lands.

He pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor count of violating the Archaeological
Resources Protection Act. He could have been fined or jailed, but was not.

I'm curious about people's thoughts on this matter, either pro or con.
