Relics sale unearths a controversy

Paying customers allowed to dig up ruins of Anasazi site
By Jerry Spangler

State archaeologist Kevin Jones' mantra is simple: Utah's prehistoric heritage is a priceless treasure.

But owners of property on which sits one of Utah's largest prehistoric Anasazi pueblos believe they have found the right price: $2,500 a day per person to dig up relics of the past.
Utah archaeologists call it plundering, and they are decrying efforts by Anasazi Digs, a family-owned business based in San Juan County, to "sell" archaeological excavations wherein paying customers dig in the ruins of Montezuma Village, keeping whatever they find.
According to the company Web site, you can also purchase 1,000-year-old pottery vessels, baskets, animal snares and other artifacts. Or you can use stones from prehistoric buildings to build your own house.
"We decided to give people the opportunity to dig in a site that has never been disturbed, all under the guidelines of a licensed archaeologist," said Howard Ransdell, whose family has owned the property since the mid-1950s and erected fences to keep vandals out over the years.

The recent increase in ufo sightings, especially in the U.S. have me wondering. Are occurences really increasing? Are we just watching the skys more after the events of Sept. 11, 2001? Or are we just seeing things out of paranoia due to the recent events? Just another 'point to ponder'.
