Native American Public Archaeology under Trump?

 

Watching over the looters' shoulders: "A Digger Hit A Bascom Blade Cache, “4,000 Years,” Then More Blades Were Still In The Dirt". Much hilarity ensues as, with a soundtrack of empty-headed banter from camo-clad seniors, artefact hunters "uncover what looks like a few Bascom blades, but the hole keeps getting better every time they look closer. The count jumps from four to five, then six, then even more pieces appear packed into the same small spot. By the end, the group is staring at a 4,000-year-old cache that feels like the kind of find most artifact hunters never see once".The archaeological context is totally destroyed. "Bascom Blade" is a "collector-type" name and they are found by dumb selfish digging morons like these in the Georgia/North Florida area.

These fellows remind me of an experience as a youth. I wandered the desert as a boy in Arizona. Once when I was searching a wash near an Indian ruin, I found two buttons. One was steel and said U.S. (I think it was 4 hole) and then I found a bronze or brass button that a book said was from a cavalry jacket. I was happy just like them. Good memory. https://goldlegendstalesofburiedtreasure.blogspot.com/
