Show Wednesday, May 28, 1986 Sun Advocate, Price, Utah 11 A Weber State professor says Recent artifact raids discourage amateur archeologists Recent raids by federal police looking for stolen archeological artifacts may have the backlash effect of driving the ar- amateur cheological un- derground. The interested amateur is really one of the best tools we have, but people are nervous right now, according to Dr. Steven R. Simms, director of the Weber State archeological technician program. Federal officials have recently raided homes in southern Utah, Colorado and Arizona looking for artifacts stolen from ancient Indian sites. The federal officials are after organized vandals who loot for profit, but it has made everyone jumpy, Simms said. it vandals are a relatively small group when compared with those who take objects simply because they are interested in Indian history or see something pretty lying on the ground and pick it up, he said.

Corey cheologists had nothing to do with the police raids, Simms said he and other archeologists have been getting calls from all over the state. People are saying, What are you guys doing? We had nothing to do with it, but its our program that will be hurt, he said. The amateur archologist is angry, Simms said. Im sure well see an increase in wanton But these latter groups feel they may also be open to criminal prosecution and are severing ties with professional archeologists. The laws are such that anyone who has any kind of artifact could be prosecuted. They see themselves as being aligned with criminals. People in archeology are very sensitive about being branded criminals, Simms said. A number of land owners and Kimberly Judd, Price.

But with the recent raids these land owners are nervous about anyone investigating those areas. The law enforcement agencies are on the verge of alienating the amateur archeologist, Though he noted. professional professional ar- cheologists support prosecution of vandals who loot for profit. But at the same time, work needs to be done to encourage cooperation between amateur archeologists the and professional, Simms said. A governors task force on archeological vandalism recommended establishing six Utah parks to focus on historical ar preservation. They also because its scaring away the good ones, Simms said. suggested Local archeologists establishing an amateur certification program to allow the a interested in to legally participate way research. The Legislature has already appropriated the money for the program. Its just been sitting on the governors desk since last hunters. Technically theyre law breakers, but theyre much label spring waiting for him to sign it, he said. The archeologist said he thinks some of the raids found professional looters. A federal judge does not give a blank search warrant on nothing. They must have had some pretty solid evidence, he said. But the majority of those interested in Indian artifacts are honest and concerned with the preservation of the sites, he continued. Archeologists are upset. Not because were against law enforcement efforts, them pot different than vandals. Its wrong to tackle the problem just with law enforcement, he said.

Also in the box were watches, toothbrushes, a mood ring and the remaining bits of a roll of Lifesaver candy and a box of Jello. The box of Jello was the only thing Wakefield could remember being placed in the box, he said. Many coins were found in the collection as was a history book that Robinson had provided. Most of the items that were found in the box had tags attached with the name of the depositor. The water had ruined many of the tags along with several of the paper objects. Another Salt Lake Tribune was found and was dated in September of 1976 which is the closest clue found as to the date the time capsule had been buried. Preston said he couldn t really remember when the time said capsule was buried but he it remembered he thought he being round. Wakefield said they intended to let everything dry out and then look it over closely. The most salvageable items will go into another time capsule to be buried in the next few days.
