Subject: Re: anthro chair guilty of ARPA violoation
I just reread ARPA and did not see anything that would prohibit the
recording of artifacts taken from public lands without a federal permit,
so unless there are prohibitions on doing so in the rules for implementing
ARPA, evidently it is the "possession" issue that caused Daniel Amick to
plead guilty to the misdemeanor.
While I think this is unfortunate, if the artifacts were in fact in his
possession when he was recording them, then I can see why the government
might have felt it was appropriate to bring charges for possessing
archaeological resources taken from public land without a valid permit.

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.
