A Couple More Horror Stories

[uniface]

So much for the image of good guys and bad guys being determined by professional affiliation. That this kind of crap (and how much of it) goes on is not really news to some. To others, it may be.

I smell lawyers!

But what other recourse is there ?

Zahi Hawass never uses lawyers.

True.
Common sense and basic decency have been redundant for decades already.

It is also interesting how the Ohio Historical Society "gave up" Fort Ancient and Newark. Essentially, they want to retain title while someone else operates the sites for them.

In normal times, the National Park Service would be able to put an end to this, as these are nationally important sites, but then these are not normal times.

uniface, do you have any idea what's going on with them?

In the same thread --

That is typical of the OHS and it's curators. I was talking to to Mr. Edwin Harness at a show a few years back and he told me a similar story about how the OHS had gotten artifacts from him that came out of the famous Harness Mound that was on his farm. They were supposed to study the pieces and return them to him and when it came time for him to get them back they said they couldn't find them and all he got back was a few items out of the hundreds that they took. He said he fought with them for years just to get those items back and that he suspected that they either sold them off or people pilfered them and now have them in their private collections.

It's the same story, from similar anecdotal evidence, in Kentucky and elsewhere. There aren't too many bright spots, but enough to keep hope alive. People who are institutionally shielded from accountability often behave poorly. Starting with judges and bureaucrats.

Off course you could give it to the Feds.
They have facilities and procedures for this kind of stuff.

The National Parks Service is having trouble maintaining the parks already in their supervision.

More of the Bush Jr legacy - you do not pay for a war with tax breaks for the very wealthy.

Have you read "The Wrecking Crew" yet, kb?
The neo-con plan was to break it, and then claim that it didn't work.

We agree completely.
