"untouched by looters"
the govt, sierra club, leftist idiots, national geographic (now), other "we know better than you" types ....
A truely FACINATING read. Thank you so much for posting this.
Very intresting.
I wonder how much of the $2.5 mil Big Stupid Government will steal back in tax theft?
Pretty interesting. I am envisioning a large resort concept, incorporating condominiums, timeshares, theme park, retail complex, golf course/fitness center, and monorail system, all constructed in an "arrowhead-friendly" fashion, scheduled for completion in late 2007.
Good thing this man didn't let anybody in on his secret. Otherwise government would claim eminent domain and he wouldn't get a penny for it.
Great article! I would love to see it.
Amazing.
Darn, even one person can't keep a secret.
Yeh, let the government jerks carry away all the best pieces to some university.
No one will ever see these artifacts. They'll just sit in a drawer somewhere to rot away. Other artifacts will be stolen by government/university jerks and sold on the black market.
Waldo should have set up a private corporation or foundation to care for the property.
But this site is even more important than the article claims, because this is a Fremont site. The Fremont were the next door neighbors of the much better known Anasazi. The reason the Anasazi are better know is that they left more stuff behind. One of the few things we know about the Fremont is that they were different than the Anasazi, but still had contact with them, and had cultural similarities, such as petroglyph styles. This site may answer how different their culture really was from the Anasazi.
Someone needs to nominate this man for a Congressional Medal of Honor.
This is a great treasure .
There is a museum in Sacramento that has a plexiglass floor over an archaeological dig area. It is hard to adjust to venturing out onto an area that feels like you are walking on air.
That would be the one of the best ways to perserve parts of this area. They could make a plexiglass walkway over the paths of the tour area. They could also install alarms to notify them if someone decided deviate from the tour path.

The Zuni Enigma
Did a group of thirteenth-century Japanese journey to the American Southwest, there to merge with the people, language, and religion of the Zuni tribe?
For many years, anthropologists have understood the Zuni in the American Southwest to occupy a special place in Native American culture and ethnography. Their language, religion, and blood type are startlingly different from all other tribes. Most puzzling, the Zuni appear to have much in common with the people of Japan.
In a book with groundbreaking implications, Dr. Nancy Yaw Davis examines the evidence underscoring the Zuni enigma, and suggests the circumstances that may have led Japanese on a religious quest-searching for the legendary "middle world" of Buddhism-across the Pacific and to the American Southwest more than seven hundred years ago.
Nancy Yaw Davis holds an M.A. from the University of Chicago and a Ph.D. in anthropology from the University of Washington. Author of numerous articles, she has long researched the history and cultures of the native peoples of North America. Her company, Cultural Dynamics, is located in Anchorage, Alaska, where she lives.
What an awesome find. Thanks for posting this!
"the ground still littered with arrowheads, arrow shafts, beads and pottery shards in places."
My grandfather told my mother of similar places he would picnic at with his family in the 19teens. They considered that stuff trash at that point in time.
Did these little people walk all the way across the desolate Bering Strait land bridge and then across Alaska all the way down to Utah? It's not easy walking across that kind of terrain.
BUMP!
