Archaeological vandalism discovered The State of Utah School and Institutional Trust Lands Administration is investigating the trespass and vandalism of an ancient Native American archeological site. The site is located within 1,000 feet of the community of Washington City. Curt Gordon, a staff member with the Trust Lands St. George office, discovered the damage. Trust Lands investigator, Ron Barton, says that, The site is part of an ancient granary and consists of a few standing stones with a clay bottom. Trust Lands archeological contractors excavated and cataloged the site in 2002. The archeologists placed plastic bags at the level of excavation. This identifies, to future archeologists, how far down the excavation dig was completed. The vandals dug dirt and rocks out of the site to the level of the plas- - 18-ac- re tic bags and realized that the site had already been cleared of relics. At that point they quit digging and left the rocks where they threw them, Barton said. He speculated that the vandals could have been looking for artifacts or that the damage could have been done just for the sake of destruction. Utah Criminal Code states that vandalism of antiquities is a Class B misdemeanor for the first offense. A second offense, or if the ancient objects value exceeds $500, becomes a third degree felony. Trust Lands will aggressively pursue criminal action against anyone disturbing ancient artifacts on trust lands. Anyone having information concerning this or any other illegal activities on state trust lands can report it to the Trust Lands Administration at (801) 76-6-9- 538-510- 0. defeated Devils Fruita Continued from Page B1 run.
