| 説明 | In 1987, in the heyday of “Cheers”, baseball player-bartender Sam “Mayday” Malone (AKA: actor, Ted Danson) recorded this public service announcement about the need to protect archaeological sites. These sites on public lands throughout North America provide solid evidence of a story spanning thousands of years. An archaeological site is a vault filled with historical and cultural artifacts with valuable information. Like items in a museum, artifacts are for observation only—not for removal as personal souvenirs.When artifacts are removed, a piece of America’s story—one that we all have a right to share and understand—is gone forever. When trained professionals excavate a site, they make sure no significant information is lost. The artifacts remain available to the public for research, education, and interpretation.Many archaeological resources are located on public lands managed by the BLM. These public land resources belong to all Americans. They are our legacy to future generations.If every visitor takes something, soon there will be nothing left for others to discover. Everyone should have the opportunity to visit an archaeological site that is undisturbed. In fact, collecting artifacts, including arrowheads, from public or tribal lands without a permit is a Federal crime. Violators risk prosecution and prison sentences of up to 1 year or more and/or possible fines in the tens of thousands of dollars.BLM law enforcement rangers and special agents understand the importance of these artifacts. They are working hard to protect them, but they need your help! If you find an archaeological site that you suspect was looted, immediately call your local BLM office. If you observe someone that you suspect is looting, stay away from that person! They may be armed and your safety is more important. As soon as it is safe to do so, call your local BLM office to report the location of the suspected looting.www.blm.gov/wo/st/en/prog/more/CRM.html |
